I've never gotten over this. Ever. We marked the first year after his murder with a "play-in" event in Chicago. I had the idea for this and I have never forgotten him. You can see some of the photos from the event here: www.facebook.com/media/set/?v...

This is due to a law signed by Ronald Reagan and has nothing to do with this shutdown fight.
But consider this...
Emergency Medicaid spending in 2023 cost $3.8 billion — just 0.4% of total Medicaid spending.
Now what about the $20 billion taxpayers are giving to Argentina?

There is no excuse for political violence in America. And no excuse for a U.S. president using a heinous killing as an occasion to treat his political opponents as accomplices to murder and threatening to use the full power of the government to attack them.

Mia Griffin grew up thinking she was abandoned on a street by her Chinese birth family. Then she learned a hard truth: she was stolen from them.
The Chinese Adoptees Who Were Stolen
As thousands of Chinese families take DNA tests, the results are upending what adoptees abroad thought they knew about their origins.

Look at this graph.
The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened.
This is why we must build back union power.

Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice.
It doesn't have to be this way.

Our federal employees sign up to serve the American people — not to be terrorized. This chilling account details the threats our patriotic civil servants are facing. Every American should be disturbed by these attacks on our public servants.
Pro-Trump group wages campaign to purge “subversive” federal workers
Federal employees faced a barrage of intimidation and harassment after a group linked to the Trump administration posted their personal information on online “watchlists” denouncing them as liberals. Some have been fired. Two have moved abroad, fearing for their safety.

Yesterday we posted about the Trump administration shutting down the LGBTQ+ youth crisis line, the “press 3” option on 988 is officially gone. The Trevor Project is stepping up to help fill the gap, and they could really use some support right now. If you’re able, please consider donating! 🏳️🌈 💛

The Department of Homeland Security is telling police to treat mundane activities like skateboarding or live-streaming at a protest as "violent tactics."
This is disturbing, dangerous, and could easily lead to excessive force against people who are simply exercising their First Amendment rights.

At a time when we’re facing skyrocketing energy needs and electricity bills are already too high, the Senate Republican tax bill GUTS clean, affordable energy like wind and solar.
That’s right: they are CHOOSING to raise energy prices for American families.

They are such hateful, despicable people that they are fantasizing about human beings being eaten by alligators.
