NEW: The Trump administration sent Head Start employees a six-page list of "prohibited words" for grant applications, including terms like: disabilities, tribal, Black, and women.

The administration wants to erase communities and block access to early childhood services. We'll see them in court.

We're in federal court today challenging the Trump administration's treatment of immigrants detained at "Alligator Alcatraz."

People in this facility are kept in inhumane conditions, without access to legal counsel or the ability to seek release. This is not just cruel; it’s unconstitutional.

Speaker Johnson is the latest of many elected officials to misuse donor dollars for personal gain.
