AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece and we are robbing people of their food assistance and of their healthcare to pay for it. How is this even on the floor? How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

It’s a sad day when a judge has to order the President of the United States to feed vulnerable families and hungry children with funds already designated for that very purpose.

Misty Copeland took her final bow as an American Ballet Theatre principal dancer on Wednesday, a role she's had for the past 10 years.

In June, Copeland announced her retirement from the company she's spent the last 25 years with. "It’s time for me to move to the next stage," Copeland told The Associated Press.

She made history ten years ago when she became the company's first Black female principal dancer in its 75-year history and has used her platform to promote diversity in ballet.

"My whole career is proof that when you have diversity, people come together and want to understand each other and want to be a community together," Copeland told The New York Times.

"So many young Black and brown people didn’t even know Lincoln Center was a place they could step foot in," Copeland added. "When they see my poster on the front, they feel like it opens their minds up to a whole new world."

Maryland Gov. Wes Moore, whose state is home to nearly 6% of the federal workforce, is skeptical of the buyouts being offered: “This is not the private sector. This is not Tesla. You cannot just come up with an arbitrary number about what you're going to get when it comes to compensation. And the fear is that you will have people who take these offers and then turn around and realize those offers were not lawful..."

RIP ❤️ Professor Kiah Duggins was among those lost in the mid-air plane collision at Reagan National Airport. Professor Duggins was set to begin a new chapter as a professor at Howard University School of Law this fall. May her memory be a blessing.

Black parents will go as far as naming their children non-ethnic names so they wont stand out & have their job applications overlooked when they’re adults by white folks but Im suppose to believe there’s a reality where Black ppl are being hired just bc they’re Black LOL Jokesss

While I’m at it, yall know why he want to release all info on JFK & MLK Jr assassination… bc he wants us to completely turn on the @FBI & @CIA, to lose complete trust to the point of disdain for them, BEFORE the news of his latest major crimes of election interference surfaces.
