It's not just that the White House won't commemorate World AIDS Day.
It's that Trump has needlessly decimated lifesaving HIV/AIDS research. It's that his administration has cut off resources to help eradicate this disease around the world.

Flight get cancelled? Trump says that's fine with him.
Trump just made flight delays even more miserable, cancelling a Biden program to require customers get compensated for delays.
His whole life he's been on private planes, he doesn't care.

Trump’s ICE raids make our communities less safe. At a field hearing with @oversightdemocrats.house.gov in LA, we heard from a woman whose 79 year old father, an American citizen, was brutally assaulted by ICE.

Absolutely incredible; after shooting Marimar Martinez 5 times and arresting her on claims that she rammed them and pulled a gun, prosecutors have now moved to dismiss ALL criminal charges against her and her codefendant.
New: the govt has moved to dismiss its assault case against Marimar Martinez and Anthony Ian Santos Ruiz, two people accused of "box[ing] in" a Border Patrol vehicle in Chicago on Oct. 4.
One agent shot Martinez, with evidence presented to the court that he later bragged about in text messages.

If R’s lose this race their ability to control the House *this year* is a real issue.

My daughter and I visited the house we lived in when she was a baby, and she was shocked a 29-year-old Navy guy could afford a nice house in a safe neighborhood.
That wasn’t crazy in 1996 — but today, a nice house is out of reach for so many young people. That has to change.
