Donald Trump is trying to block trillions of dollars in federal funds to Meals on Wheels, Medicaid, and other critical programs that keep us safe and healthy. If allowed to go into effect, this would wreak havoc across the country.

Tell Congress: Trump cannot be allowed to defund our communities.
Tell Congress: Don't defund our communities
President Trump’s decision to block trillions in federal funding to critical services already approved by Congress is a reckless, cruel, unprecedented power grab that will impact every one of us.

Why is a man who doesn't read, doesn't go to theater or ballet or any of the arts taking over the Kennedy Center? What a disgrace.

I’m “throwing“ myself into clay these days as I wrestle with feeling helpless. Keep phoning your representatives.

This is a reminder that no one can convince Trump voters to no longer support Trump, better than Trump can.

The point isn’t to pat ourselves on the back because we have it better. It’s to remember that if people like Navalny are willing to risk imprisonment, torture, and death to resist an evil empire, there is no excuse for us to back down.
Even in Death, Navalny Still Threatens the Putin Regime
The opposition leader’s posthumous memoir is a chronicle of a death foretold.

"Hegseth on Wednesday waged a significant effort to salvage his nomination, including by pledging to Republican senators that he would stop drinking if confirmed as secretary of Defense." Okay. This shit is just hysterical. Honey, I'll stop drinking and womanizing. I promise.
