So a military parade for Trump’s birthday is acceptable but children’s cancer research costs too much?

Because of the pay gap, women have lost out on more than $60 trillion in wages since 1967.

Yes, trillion.

On an hourly basis, women were paid 18.0% less on average than men in 2024.

We must ensure fair wages for all.

Ask yourself:

Why would anyone who wasn’t an asset of the Russian government do this?

Why would any decent human being do this?

You can’t make this up. The Trump admin is erasing images of one of the servicemembers who raised the flag at Iwo Jima.

What an outrageous act of disrespect to one of America’s heroes. His name is Pfc. Ira Hayes, and he deserves to be honored.

On 6 June 1944, while Americans were fighting at Omaha Beach, Canadians were fighting at Juno Beach. Our brothers, who fought and died by our side – who helped us defeat Fascism, are not our enemy. They are our true friends. Canadians are our brothers and sisters and I stand with them 100%.

The defense secretary’s instructions, which were given before President Trump’s blowup with the Ukrainian president, are apparently part of an effort to draw Russia into talks on the war.

DOGE recommended firing workers at:

-FDA, which oversees Neuralink

-FAA, which oversees SpaceX

-USAID, which probed Starlink

-CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X.

"Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

"What is left for all of us? A cynical shrug is not enough. We should demand that Trump pull back from his threat to issue mass pardons to the insurrectionists. We should insist that members of Congress speak out. We should shout from the rooftops." brennancenter.substack.com/p/trumps-pla...
