This should come as a surprise to no one. This Administration continues to prioritize wars abroad and attacks on the most vulnerable people across our communities over doing anything to improve the day-to-day lives of Americans.
The same man who blames our country’s problems on immigrants is, once again, stealing taxpayer dollars. Oligarchs like Trump are the problem in our country and this blatant show of corruption demonstrates that clearly once again.

I am deeply saddened by the news of a shooting at the Islamic Center of San Diego. My heart is with the victim and their loved ones during this time—and I am thankful for the swift response by law enforcement.

Tiffany McElroy’s story of giving birth on the prison floor as guards sat back and watched is absolutely heartbreaking. No person should ever be denied essential healthcare—this is a deep violation of our human and civil rights standards. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...
After losing her son, Sewell, to suicide because of an AI chatbot, Megan Garcia has been a powerful advocate for regulating these companion chatbots and passing the GUARD Act. Her story is one of resilience. Please take a moment to listen to her explain why this work is so important, and urgent.
