If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it.

Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice.

But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word.

They aren’t firing for a reason.

Women deserve to know the TRUTH about the impact of Texas' total abortion ban.

Today, I along with Rep. Gerry Connolly, Rep. Summer Lee, and Rep. Ayanna Pressley sent ANOTHER letter calling on
Texas to explain why it won't release maternal mortality data from the past 2 years after Dobbs.

The government has no right to decide what name or nickname your child goes by in class.

The government has no right to pick out what clothes your child wears to school.

This is not just an attack on trans children. It's an attack on personal choice.

With Sweeping Executive Orders, Trump Tests Local Control of Schools
The orders seek to encourage “patriotic education” and restrict discussions about racism and gender by threatening to withdraw federal funding. But schools are often resistant to change.

Donold is blaming a plane crash that killed 67 people on “DEI” with zero evidence.

He is attempting to use racism to deflect from the fact it is HIS fault. He had just removed 100 FAA senior officials.

It’s been 11 days and there are 67 bodies in the Potomac in Washington DC because of him.

THIS IS A BLATANT LIE AND A DISGRACE TO THE MEMORIES OF THE VICTIMS.

While emergency responders are still recovering peoples' loved ones from the freezing water, Trump is using these families' pain for POLITICS by blaming their deaths on DEI.

A total failure of leadership.
REPORTER: Are you saying this crash was somehow was the result of diversity hiring?

Stop saying impeach Trump—it’s the ‘thoughts and prayers’ of social media. The same Republicans who blocked it twice would need to vote for it now. That’s not a plan, it’s a fantasy. We need to go full French Revolution and white women need to lead the charge.

I had a great conversation during a panel hosted by the Nashville Alumnae Chapter, where we discussed key issues affecting the Black community. This event was about bridging generational gaps and strengthening community connections.

Yesterday, I broke down Trump’s executive orders targeting immigrant communities. Today, let’s talk Trump’s executive orders targeting minorities – I.E., every person that isn’t a white, cis, straight, able-bodied man. (1/3)

Just days after Trump returned to the White House, Instagram is censoring abortion content. This is what Aid Access' account looks like right now - posts about how to get abortion medication has been blurred out.

Republicans just pushed a bill that spreads lies about abortions, criminalizes doctors using their best medical judgment to treat patients in need, and strips families' ability to decide how to act in situations where a baby won't survive long outside the womb. (1/2)

The Constitution is clear: if you're born on American soil, you're an American citizen.

I'm grateful there are still some within in our justice system, including GOP-appointed judges like this one, who refuse to abandon their oath of office to uphold this sacred document. apnews.com/article/birt...
