Trump is disappearing legal immigrants he claims are a threat — despite presenting no evidence.
What really happened is that many of these people spoke out against him.
Every institution or individual that surrenders to Trump’s tyranny, or fails to speak out, only invites more of it.

Because of the pay gap, women have lost out on more than $60 trillion in wages since 1967.
Yes, trillion.
On an hourly basis, women were paid 18.0% less on average than men in 2024.
We must ensure fair wages for all.

But Medicaid’s beneficiaries aren’t parasites. Half of them are children.

These climate experts and forecasters are crucial to tracking natural disasters like hurricanes.

The UN vote a couple days ago foreshadowed today. The U.S. sided with prior enemies. Today, 47 chastised Zelensky so he could give himself an excuse to side with Russia again. 47 always intended to side with Russia. His treatment of Zelensky was inexcusable. What a jerk.
