This would be a good time for all the Republican Senators, Representatives, Governors, State AGs, and Judges I've heard say how pro-law enforcement they are during the course of my career to speak up.

Trump is purging everyone at DOJ and FBI who treated an attack on Congress as a crime. His defense attorney Emil Bove has said that if you did, you will not support Trump's policies.

Hi that was a coup last night in case no one mentioned that to you. The executive branch seized the power of the purse the Constitution gave to Congress, which is a pretty authoritarian / illegal consolidation of powers move. Time to go yell at your reps, the media, etc.

For years, poor school districts closed school libraries & fired librarians. How can teachers emphasize the importance of learning to read without giving students reading material they like & school librarians to help? Librarians are critical to learning. nancyebailey.com/2018/04/21/p...

No American president has ever used his Article II power to force Congress to go into recess for the purpose of circumventing the Senate’s obligation to provide “advice and consent” regarding presidential nominations. Doing so would violate the Constitution’s basic structure of checks and balances.

This is a very thought-provoking series made by youth about youth.
Many are on here due to concerns about online extremism and radicalisation.

Youth radicalisation is particularly important to tackle.

Our young people made this series of films to explore:

President Biden tried to raise the overtime threshold, which is the point where salaried workers are entitled to earn overtime pay. It would have helped millions. A Trump appointed judge in Texas just blocked it.

Please tell me you see which party is actually fighting for the average worker.

A Trump-appointed judge in Texas just cut expanded overtime access for millions of Americans. This is an attack on union members and all working people across the country, plain and simple. Workers deserve to be paid FAIRLY for ALL the time they work, INCLUDING OVERTIME.
