So we can’t use any public bathrooms without fear of harassment.
We can’t play sports.
We can’t serve in the military.
We cant have jobs where we might make someone uncomfortable.
We’re not even allowed to be mentioned by swaths of organizations.
But sure. No discrimination to be seen here.

Sharing what we've learned is our idea of efficiency, so we've been working to recover 18F resources for the public. You can still find our guides at guides.18f.org.
"I wondered why there wasn't a centralized DOGE software engineering playbook with all of our learnings; overall, I was surprised by the lack of knowledge-sharing within DOGE. It seemed like every engineer started from scratch."

The court’s decision provides much needed relief for Main Street. But rather than wait for an appeals process to play out, Congress should terminate this illegal emergency authority once and for all.

Trump’s “big, beautiful bill”? It’s bullshit.
It’s a straight-up scam that abandons working families and rigs the system even more for the rich.
They’re slashing jobs and gutting the very resources that people need to survive—while calling it “fiscal responsibility.”

If the working people of the world stand together, there is nothing they cannot accomplish.

George Floyd should still be alive today. As we mark the five year anniversary of his murder, I am proud to join @pressley.house.gov to reintroduce our Ending Qualified Immunity Act. No one is above the law.

With the Trump Administration ignoring court orders, why would the House GOP attack the judiciary too? A provision buried in the bill would make it harder for federal judges to hold accountable government officials and others who violate court orders.

'Hidden' provision in Trump's big bill could disarm US Supreme Court
The provision would bar courts from enforcing contempt citations for violations of injunctions or temporary restraining orders unless a bond has been paid.

"One Big Beautiful Bill Act" is a stupid name.
But more importantly, it will kick millions of Americans off their health care, including CHILDREN, it will spike premiums, and explode our national debt.
It's a raw deal for middle-class Americans and a huge giveaway to billionaires.

Medicare for All isn't radical.
What's radical is that we are the only major country not to guarantee health care as a human right.
Don’t believe me?

Yesterday, Gabbard testified: “There was no classified material that was shared in that Signal chat.”
So the Director of National Intelligence lied to the US Senate.

Hegseth, Waltz, and everyone involved on the Signal chain should resign.
This level of incompetence is clearly extensive throughout Trump’s cabinet and goes all the way to the top.
This also begs the question, why was any of this being discussed on a signal chain?
