It's a bad sign that I, a US professor with two kids who will be applying to college in the next few years, am exploring the process of them applying to universities outside of America. The Trump administration is on the verge of destroying US higher education, where we have long been a world leader

🚨 BREAKING: This is beyond outrageous. Elon Musk, his cranky mother Maye, and one of his young kids were chauffeured in Air Force One and Marine One—straight to the White House, where they’re apparently staying.

The President of the United States—the leader of the free world—just chastised a staunch U.S. ally and democratically-elected foreign leader for defending his country against a brutal dictator. And he did it in the Oval Office.

This Jeffrey Epstein influencer stunt is so tasteless. His address book has been public info for years. Its contents are available on Amazon. A Maryland auction house tried to sell the original thing last year.
There were real victims here. Leveraging child sex abuse for a photo op is gross.

This is really great. You can even download a PDF fact sheet with details for your district-- easy to print out or refer to (when you make calls) or share.
If you're looking for details for your calls, House Dems produced this tool where you can how many people in your district are at risk of losing jobs, health care, and food on the table from the House GOP budget.
