Some good news: Trump's DOJ has finally dropped its baseless prosecution of SEIU California president David Huerta for protesting ICE's brutality. This case should have never gotten this far, but its dismissal reveals how weak Trump truly is. Remember: attacking unions is a hallmark of fascism.

While grocery prices are rising, 1.5 million kids have lost food assistance benefits since Republicans passed their budget law. Hungry kids are more likely to get lower test scores & repeat grades. New from us & @tcfdotorg.bsky.social: That's just the start of parents' budgeting woes.
The Trump regime has killed at least 221 people by bombing boats in the Caribbean Sea and Pacific Ocean since last September. Remember: no judge or jury has found these boats were trafficking drugs. We're simply taking Trump's word for it. This is a danger to us all.
Trump has ordered the installation of signs outside the Smithsonian Museum “warning” visitors that it doesn’t portray American history correctly. Why is he so determined to take over the Smithsonian? It’s all part of his attack on the American mind.
Seeking asylum is a legally protected international human right. Trump’s deportation agenda was never about “legal immigration.” It was always about cruelty.
Aaron Reichlin-MelnickNEW: The Trump admin just published a new regulation allowing asylum officers at USCIS to deny hundreds of thousands of “affirmative asylum” applications without an interview, sending applicants directly to deportation proceedings. This means many people will never get a chance to argue their case.
Trump just levied a new round of tariffs, the cost of which will be passed onto consumers — just like his previous ones. Meanwhile, he calls affordability "a word made up by the Democrats." Baloney. Here are 10 steps to make America actually affordable again.

AIPAC has spent more money in this year's Michigan Senate Democratic primary than it has ever spent in a single race before. And they're using shady campaign tactics to trick Michiganders into voting against their own interests.
We tend to think of “charitable giving” as unambiguously good because we equate “charities” with organizations that help the poor and equate “giving” with generosity. But both assumptions are wrong.
