70 years ago today, Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat to a white man.
Thank you Rosa, for your courage, long ago. May we learn from your example.

Suit: "According to the final agency decision, the President may now fire female federal workers like Ms. Nemer—because of their sex—and the law would have nothing to say about it"

My bipartisan IRS MATH Act with Senator Bill Cassidy is now law.
Now, if you mess up your taxes, the IRS has to tell you where you made a mistake and how to fix it.
No more spending a fortune on lawyers or hours to find errors.
That means fewer headaches and more money in your pocket.

I like to point out to the xenophobic racists that anytime an immigrant uses a gun to kill people, they have absolutely embraced our American culture.

This mashup of Trump’s disgusting attacks on female reporters — the same reporters who consistently show the most courage. And it’s past time for the other reporters in the room to have their backs!

Polish Prime Minister Tusk reminded Western allies that NATO was created to protect against Russian aggression.
Unfortunately, most people in Europe are now convinced that Trump's brain has no idea what NATO is, given his ongoing dementia.

US District Judge William Young:
“I fear President Trump believes the American people are so divided today they will not stand up, fight for, and defend our most precious constitutional values so long as they are lulled into thinking their own personal interests are not affected”
“Is he correct?”

Walz on Trump calling him the r-word: "We all know both as an educator & parent that using that term is just so damaging. It's hurtful. We have fought 3 decades to get this out of our schools. Kids know better. But this is what Donald Trump has done. He's normalized this type of hateful behavior."

We now have an unprecedented level of income & wealth inequality.
It isn’t acceptable that the top 1% owns more wealth than the bottom 93%, while a majority of Americans live paycheck to paycheck.
We must stand together & create an economy that works for all, not just the few.
