Many media outlets hid the full truth of Trump -- his background in organized crime, his Epstein ties -- out of fear, only to be obliterated by him in the end. Had they not self-censored then, they might not be state-censored now. When you hide the truth, you face the consequences.

Thank you @zerotothree.bsky.social for delivering a "message in a baby bottle" to stand up for our littlest kids. This former preschool teacher is throwing Trump's budget in the trash.
I'm fighting for a budget that protects Head Start & builds on our investments to make child care more affordable.
