A Houston mother says her 8-year-old daughter lost consciousness during an asthma attack at school & 911 was not called. A child’s life was on the line. She was later hospitalized and now wears a heart monitor. Families deserve answers & accountability.

ICYMI — “I identified myself as a U.S. citizen and a veteran, but that didn't matter. ICE Agents smashed my window, sprayed tear gas and pepper spray into my car, dragged me out… this experience violated the very principles I fought to defend.”

This iconic photo…

On the night he made history, Obama reached for his mother-in-law’s hand.

Michelle later wrote in Becoming that her mom felt his loneliness that night. His father gone since he was 2, his mother and grandmother both passed. Marian said she could feel the “gravity of the passage”

I have five kids, so it’s that time of day where I need to scroll through reels and TikTok to find a video that matches each of their professions or likes or pet peeves and send them at least one to let them know I love them…

Everyone in DC knows that if you want to hide something, announce it on a Friday in August. Better yet, make it nearly impossible to track down.

That's exactly what SCOTUS did last week. But the news is too staggering to hide for long: SCOTUS has decided it's time to destroy the Voting Rights Act.
The Supreme Court prepares to end voting rights as we know it
And they don't want you to notice.

In Trinity Texas, 90 miles north of Houston, Midcoast Medical Center recently had to close its doors.

The closure was driven by the same factors that have closed other rural hospitals: low reimbursement rates from elderly patients' Medicare and Medicaid coverage, which made up most of its budget.
