In America, we don’t use federal agents to intimidate citizens out of participating in their own democracy. Yet more than a dozen Border Patrol agents showed up Thursday in downtown LA at a rally Gov. Gavin Newsom held on congressional redistricting an event that had nothing to do with immigration.

Over 140 employees at the National Science Foundation have taken the rare step of signing a letter warning the Trump admin is gutting the agency, slashing budgets, firing staff, and sabotaging science from within. All but one name is redacted out of fear of retaliation.

The Trump admin is dismantling Freedom of Information Act offices. Then the offices send out emails like, “Hello, the FOIA office has been placed on admin leave and is unable to respond to any emails.” The lengths this admin will go to ensure zero transparency with the American people is astounding.

Is the connection between f*king public schools, eliminating the department of education, mass deportation, and trying to take our constitutional rights becoming clear to you now? The Republican Administration WANTS this. Do you?

This action by the incompetent and unqualified AG Bondi should send chills of fear through everyone. Message: if you as a lawyer refuse to lie to protect the orange convicted felon’s administration you will be fired. An attorney takes an oath, but the admin says lie for us or you are out.

The Agriculture Department has axed two programs that gave schools and food banks money to buy food from nearby farms and ranchers. Roughly $660 million that schools and child care facilities were counting on to purchase food has been canceled.
This will hurt both kids and small, local farmers.

Why is this such a problem? Watchdogs play a critical role in ensuring accountability, transparency, and fairness within systems. In government, they investigate, expose, and prevent misconduct, corruption, abuse of power, and inefficiencies.
