DOJ broke the law today by refusing to produce all the Epstein files. It also broke the law by redacting information other than to protect victims. Yet, the corporate media is acting that DOJ did us a huge favor.

Nearly all the staff in the Office of Special Education have been fired as part of Trump’s sweeping layoffs.
These are the people responsible for protecting the civil rights of students with disabilities and ensuring they receive an equal education.
More needless cruelty on display.

Billionaire tax cuts are a policy choice.
Cutting healthcare for millions is a policy choice.
Cutting food assistance for children is a policy choice.
Taking from the poor and giving to the rich is a policy choice.
Make no mistake: Trump and the GOP just chose to do this.

The SCOTUS decision in U.S. v Skrmetti is a devastating loss for transgender youth and their loved ones.
To the transgender community — you are not alone in this fight. We remain committed to ensuring all families can get the health care they need.
