The Trump administration has banned Head Start providers from using 200 phrases when describing their programs and applying for grants, such as: women, disabilities, Black, belong, and tribal.

Head Start is essential and must be able to serve our communities freely. We're suing the administration.
Head Start centers told to avoid 'disability,' 'women' and more in funding requests
New court documents reveal a list of nearly 200 words or phrases the Trump administration told Head Start programs it does not want to see in their funding requests.

If you’re telling Head Start programs they can’t say “disability”, “Black”, “female”, or “Tribal” in order to get funded—you don’t care about kids. Period.

This administration is attacking the very protections that keep children safe and supported. Our kids are not political props.

The bottom 90% lost a collective $79 trillion in wages over the past 50 years.

Why? Because the top 1% ate up an increasingly larger share of the national income — so that $79 trillion flowed to them instead of the working class.

The greatest trick of all is trickle-down economics.

Trump's approval ratings are tanking. He's flailing on the economy. Even Republicans in Congress are beginning to revolt against him. He's not all powerful.

A tyrant can exercise tyranny only insofar as the objects of his tyranny continue to allow it. Remember this.

If Democrats want to regain working people, they must disavow Big Money.

They must hammer economic populism — and have a laser focus on the cost of living crisis in America.

There’s no way the party can speak for or represent the working class in America if it's beholden to corporate interests.

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.

McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.

Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay.

See the problem?

What do these corporations all have in common?

They all have lucrative government contracts — and they're all donors to Trump's ballroom.

Good news! Judge James E. Boasberg just issued a serious warning to the Justice Department, signaling that he may open a formal contempt investigation into whether the Trump administration violated his order to stop deportation flights of Venezuelan migrants to El Salvador back in March.

The Trump administration is breaking the law by transferring critical work to federal agencies that lack the expertise to lead education policy.

Congress must immediately intervene to stop this illegal restructuring and protect our students' right to an education.

Big Tech is plotting a multi-million dollar lobbying blitz to oppose AI regulation at the state and federal level.

Now, House Republicans are reportedly looking to resurrect a ban on all state-level AI regulation.

Trump has shredded the Constitution. He's taken an axe to checks and balances. Now he's literally wrecking the White House to build a ballroom for his billionaire allies. It's the perfect symbol for his presidency.

Whether you're a casual news reader or a breaking news reporter at the NYTimes, I implore you--please, please, please--do not believe or report DHS/ICE/CBP's side of events uncritically. End the state's monopoly on legitimate storytelling. They are not the objective arbiter of what really happened.

Trump's FAA just lifted restrictions placed on Boeing after its fatal 737 MAX crashes.

Meanwhile, Boeing workers in St. Louis just entered their ninth week on strike.

Putting profits over workers and safety is a key reason why Boeing has taken a nosedive.

NEW: Illinois Gov. Pritzker announced President Trump intends to federalize 300 state National Guard troops “in the coming hours" over objections from state and city leaders.

We resolutely condemn this potential escalation. It's a power grab meant to intimidate and torment Chicago's communities.

Dissent isn't grounds for deportation.

If the Trump administration's arguments are adopted, it would grant them unconstitutional and unprecedented power to censor our speech.

Trump's second term has been filled with chaos and dysfunction. But none of it is random.

It's part of a plot to spread cynicism and get you to check out.

Oligarchs don't want you to keep paying attention. That's how they win.

Don't tune out. Don't let them win.

Today’s tragedy at the Dallas ICE Field Office shows how dangerous anti-immigrant rhetoric has become. Words that dehumanize don’t just poison politics — they fuel violence. My thoughts are with the families who lost loved ones as we work with officials for clarity and accountability.
