When someone sent me a screenshot of Trump’s post about cancelling Veterans Day, I assumed it was fake. Turns out that no, he really is capable of showing more contempt for those who served in uniform. Join us, fight back. June 6, meet me at the Washington Monument

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government.

No one has heard from you in 43 days.

As vigil, I’m posting a photo of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

You may not know about this bill yet, but you should.

The JUDGES Act would hand Trump 22 new judicial appointments, and some Democrats in Congress are feeling pressure to vote yes on it to lighten the caseload of judges in their states. A few Democrats have even co-sponsored it.

I believe in an America where every kid has a chance to get an education and build a real future.

That’s why I’m fighting to save our schools by protecting the Department of Education from Trump, Musk, and their spineless GOP enablers in Congress.

RFK Jr. is very loud and very WRONG about Autism.

1. It’s not a disease
2. There are thousands of people with Autism Spectrum Disorder who pay taxes, have jobs, can use the bathroom on their own, and are thriving in life.

Science doesn’t improve by cutting Black, Hispanic, and women experts. But that’s exactly what happened—38 out of 43 removed from NIH boards were just that. And they wonder why trust in institutions is fading.

Big WIN in the fight to break up Big Tech.

A judge ruled Google broke the law, abusing its monopoly to raise prices and crush competition online.

This victory is the result of years of work to rein in tech companies’ abuses.

I won’t share RFK Jr.’s lies about autism.

It’s disgusting and dangerous.

If he had a shred of decency, he would apologize and resign.

Autistic people contribute every day to our nation’s greatness.

To every kid with autism, I’m in this fight all the way for you.

AOC: I saw on Fox, Jeanine Pirro says that they found so many babies and two year olds and four year olds receiving social security. I got a notice for you Jeanine Pirro: those babies receive social security because their parents died. That’s not a waste. That’s humanity. That’s America.
