The Supreme Court’s order cites:

“Irreparable harm to a protected national heritage site,”

“Significant unresolved legal questions,” and

“Immediate risk of permanent loss of federally protected historic assets.”

The ruling freezes construction, demolition, and contracting activities.

The House passed a bill this morning that makes massive cuts to Medicaid. Now, it goes to the Senate.

Medicaid provides vital, lifesaving care to millions of people with disabilities nationwide. Tell Congress: Protect Medicaid.
Congress: Save Medicaid Now
Politicians are attempting to pass devastating cuts to Medicaid right now and we must act fast. Send a message telling your member of Congress to fight back now.

This is what an authoritarian regime would do. Hidden deep in Trump’s 1,100-page bill that passed the House today is a provision that would block federal courts from enforcing contempt charges against government officials who violate court orders.

USDA’s illegal demands for states & 3rd-party vendors to turn over the personal data of SNAP recipients must be stopped. That’s why we filed a lawsuit against the USDA w/ @studentdefense.bsky.social & @nclej.bsky.social on behalf of @Epic.org & @mazonusa.bsky.social.
Protecting SNAP beneficiaries from government overreach

Your Mother’s Day weekend reminder that the so-called “party of family values” has historically blocked:

-Paid family & medical leave
-Universal childcare
-Universal pre-K
-Expanded Child Tax Credit
-Programs to support reproductive health

Doesn’t sound very pro-family to me.

Leadership is doubling down, but GOP members are getting nervous about the budget’s extreme unpopularity.

You can call your Representative now at 202-224-3121.
Looks like tomorrow will bring votes on a Republican plan to fund tax cuts for the rich by slashing Medicaid.

So this is a great time to contact your Member of Congress.
