The Trump administration has forced the National Parks Service to remove any photos of Harriet Tubman from their website covering the Underground Railroad.
This should be on the front page of every newspaper in America.
Trump’s DOJ just shut down a federal investigation into a coal company owned by Sen. Jim Justice, one of his closest allies, after it racked up tens of thousands of alleged violations for dumping dangerous chemicals into our waterways. A veteran federal prosecutor with 24 years on the job said he had never seen anything like it.
The man who killed the case was Todd Blanche, Trump’s former personal defense lawyer and current Acting Attorney General. This is the same guy who just gave Trump, his family, and his companies permanent immunity from IRS audits. Now Trump wants the Senate to make Blanche’s appointment permanent too.
Equal justice under law was never supposed to come with exceptions for the President’s friends.
The pattern isn’t subtle: protect Trump’s friends, prosecute his critics, and get rewarded with more power. That is corruption, plain and simple. Todd Blanche must not be confirmed.

Found an imaginary problem, said only they could fix it, didn’t listen to experts, hired buddies who grifted millions, failed miserably, bragged how great it went.
The entire Trump presidency in a nutshell.
Here’s Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth in April announcing the end of the military’s mandatory annual flu vaccine requirement, calling it “Not rational.”
Olympic organizers are working with the Trump admin to put on a tournament at Trump's golf club in Los Angeles alongside the Summer 2028 Games.
This should go without saying, but the Olympics are not supposed to be about helping Trump make money.

The federal government’s screwworm monitoring program reportedly cost about $15 million.
DOGE cut it.
Now the Trump administration is preparing to spend roughly $1 billion to combat a screwworm outbreak.
That’s an expensive way to end up back where you started.
RFK Jr: "Gardasil is probably the single worst mass vaccine that we've ever seen
The reality
It's SO GOOD that no one vaccinated in England has died from cervical cancer.
In fact it's on the way to eliminating it.
Yes - ELIMINATE CERVICAL CANCER
Don't listen to RFK Jr
"I am deeply concerned about why such a large team is now necessary. The White House has so far refused to say who all those doctors were"
Top Democrat on House Judiciary Cmte is probing Trump health. New inquiry to White House doctor about reports Trump saw 22 specialists
Banks calls mifepristone dangerous.
The FDA approved it in 2000. Over 100 peer-reviewed studies confirm it's safe. The adverse event rate is 0.5 percent.
The study claiming danger wasn't peer-reviewed and wasn't published in a journal. Indiana women deserve better than this from their senator.
News flash Warren: DACA recipients are police officers, firefighters, nurses and small business owners in Arizona. And you just announced to the world that you think they are criminals and should be deported. Disqualifying
Not enough people are talking about this.
The Trump Administration is scrambling to spend more than $1 billion in emergency funding to fix a crisis its own recklessness helped create.
New World Screwworm is a flesh-eating parasite that burrows into the living flesh of cattle, pets, wildlife, and yes, humans. It was eradicated from the United States decades ago through a massive, sustained federal effort. Now it’s back in Texas for the first time in generations, and ranchers are watching it spread.
Here’s how we got here. DOGE gutted the federal program specifically responsible for monitoring and containing screwworm before it ever crossed into the U.S., and slashed more than 1,300 jobs from the agency in charge of protecting our food supply from exactly this kind of threat. They didn’t cut waste. They cut the people standing between us and outbreaks like this one.
This is not government efficiency. This is what happens when you tear down the systems that protect this country and gamble that nothing will go wrong.

We are here because Donald Trump launched us into a reckless war of choice.
We had a verifiable deal with Iran. Trump ripped it up and sent us to war.
Because of him, Iran is stronger, and America is less safe.
GOOD NEWS:
Hours after I visited the State Capitol w/ 1000s of Georgians, GA House Republicans announced they are backing down from gerrymandering our maps, potentially giving them two extra seats.
John Lewis never backed down from getting into good trouble, & I won't either.
The firm given a no-bid contract to fix the Reflecting Pool charged a 20% profit margin.
The government agreed to pay $13.1 million for the project—7x Trump's estimate—and is using $7 million worth of national park entrance fees to help foot the bill.

What happened here is simple. You lost a war you should have never started and surrendered on Iran's terms.
War opponents can be glad the war is over and also point out that this insane deal is a final proof point that the whole war - that you cheerled - was a total calamity.
The lady with the funny laugh was going to give Americans buying their first homes $25,000 each... and it would cost 100 billion over 10 years.
Trump just gave 3X that amount to Iran. 👍
One of my favorite lines in the complaint: “At a meeting of the Shoals Republican Club on August 3, 2019, Tuberville candidly conceded that he ‘has property’ in Alabama but is not an ‘everyday resident of Alabama,’ describing himself as a ‘carpetbagger.’”
The OCC is expected to approve the Trump family's application for a national bank trust charter, which would allow their crypto firm to operate like a bank.
That could help the Trump family make even more money. It's an ethical outrage.

Eleven years ago today, nine Black worshipers went to Bible study at Mother Emanuel AME Church and never came home. They were shot and killed by a white supremacist who never should have been able to access a gun. One other person was injured and an entire community was irrevocably changed.
Today, my heart is in Charleston and with the victims, survivors, and their families. They deserved better, and I’ll always work to honor them with action.
