Trump’s administration has barred the IRS from even looking at his past returns.
Teachers, nurses, and firefighters all pay what they owe.
Why does the President of the United States get a special tax deal?
It takes 15 LAPD officers making an average of $100k a year to kill a fucking Golden Doodle.
That’s $1.5 million dollars a year standing around watching a woman cry over her dead dog they just killed. But sure, police departments need more money.
People *need* to understand this: the under-16 bans hit adults too.
Whether you’re 15 or 55, your ability to speak freely and anonymously online is at risk.
This. Isn’t. Just. About. Teens.
USPS is threatening not to deliver mail-in ballots to voters in states that don't hand over voter lists.
This plan will disenfranchise millions of voters who need to vote by mail.
We filed a motion to stop USPS’s plan & ensure that all voters who want to vote by mail can do so.
75% of SNAP recipients work.
When employers pay poverty wages, their workers are forced to rely on taxpayer-funded programs like SNAP.
That’s corporations abusing SNAP to subsidize their profits at the expense of taxpayers, not SNAP recipients abusing the system.
The corporations exploiting workers and taxpayers are infinitely worse.
Fox has reached an agreement to acquire Roku for $22 billion, after already buying Tubi for $440 million in 2020.
This marks the latest case of media consolidation in an industry controlled by a smaller and smaller number of huge corporations.
Why is the U.S. giving Iran $25 billion for “humanitarian purposes” when the Navajo Nation Reservation is declaring a state of emergency due to having no access to fresh drinking water?
Journalists sitting on massive scoops about important people in this country—stories the American people deserve to know—just so they can sell books later is everything wrong with journalism today.
When healthcare is for-profit, every company at every step of the way passes their demand for more profit downstream — and the Americans needing healthcare are at the end of that line, forced to absorb those higher costs.
This is what greed and exploitation looks like.
Tennessee is sending letters to immigrant parents of disabled and terminally ill children enrolled in a last-resort public health program — kids on ventilators, kids with cancer, kids in wheelchairs - telling them that if their child keeps receiving medical care after June 30, the state will report them to ICE.
This program has existed for over 50 years. It has never required immigration status. Until now.
Children's Special Services is Tennessee's last-resort public health insurance program for low-income kids with the most severe disabilities and life-threatening illnesses - kids with no other coverage, no other options. The state just sent letters to at least 90 Nashville families giving them an impossible choice: keep your child alive, or stay invisible.
One mother, Gabriella, has a 10-year-old son born with spina bifida who requires near-monthly emergency care. They're six months from a final ruling on their asylum case. She said if they're sent back to Honduras, "he's not going to make it."
Here's the part that should make your head explode: the law Tennessee is using to justify this explicitly applies only to people 18 and older. These are children. Pediatricians, advocates, and lawmakers are all saying the state is misapplying its own law to reach kids it was never meant to cover.
The Tennessee Justice Center says the directive is unlawful and is preparing a legal challenge. But families are afraid to come forward as plaintiffs. Because coming forward means being seen.
The state health department has not responded to a single press request for comment.
What kind of government sends a letter to the mother of a child on a ventilator and calls it immigration enforcement?
