This morning, we won a court order blocking Elon Musk, the world’s richest man, from accessing Americans’ private data.

Musk and his DOGE employees must destroy all records they've obtained.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: no one is above the law.

She exposed the truth about AI bias.

Google gave her an ultimatum: Retract or leave.

She chose integrity.

Here's how she exposed AI's biggest problem:

With profound sadness, we announce the passing of Lt. Col. Harry S. Stewart Jr., one of the last surviving Tuskegee Airmen, at the age of 100. A true pioneer in aviation, Stewart distinguished himself during World War II, earning the Distinguished Flying Cross for downing three German aircraft in a single mission. He also became a Top Gun winner in 1949, though his groundbreaking accomplishments were only recently recognized.

Despite the barriers of racism that kept him from pursuing his dream of flying commercially, Stewart forged a successful career as a mechanical engineer and vice president of a natural gas pipeline company. His incredible courage, resilience, and character left a lasting impact on history. Stewart’s legacy will continue to inspire future generations to rise above challenges and break barriers.

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.

BUCKLE UP! "Jamie Raskin is going all in! One by one, he’s knocking out the Republican committee with undeniable "truth bombs" about immigrants and the Constitution, especially the 14th Amendment on birthright citizenship!
Feeding the facts to those dancing to Trump and Musk's backward agenda.

Oh my word, he absolutely schools THEM time and time again! 👀

The Black Panther Party first & most notable community program was the Free Breakfast for Children Program.

The program began in January 1969 because poverty forced families to send their children to school hungry.

—By the end of 1969, the Black Panthers were serving full free breakfasts (including milk, bacon, eggs, grits, and toast) to 20,000 school aged children in 19 cities around the country, and in 23 local affiliates every school day. The breakfast program was just one of many programs the Panthers ran to address the needs of the poor. In fact, they developed more that 60 Serve the People programs, including efforts to provide free clothing and shoes, medical services —including drug and alcohol awareness, —legal aid education, and what was thought to be some of the first true early childhood education programs in the nation, preceding Head Start. But the Panthers’ image and focus on self-determination drew the attention of then FBI chief, J. Edgar Hoover. He singled out the Black Panthers as national hate group, and the breakfast program as an act of subversion. Once Hoover went after the Breakfast Program, the handwriting was on the wall. Even though the organizers were careful to consult with nutritionists to make sure the children got high quality, balanced meals, and made sure they had the necessary permits from the health and fire departments for the kitchens and halls where they served meals, they became regular targets of local officials. The children they served were caught in the middle.—

I will not give in to the lies.
I will not give in to the fear.
I will not normalize insanity.
I will not ignore cruelty.

Thank you for your integrity, @Acosta. I have loved being your @cnn colleague and friend. Good luck with your next chapter.

Florida school library bans “The Hills We Climb," the poem written & read by Amanda Gorman at Joe Biden’s inauguration.

Ron DeSantis & Donald Trump don't want you to hear this poem, so I'm posting it here. Pass it on.

Bob Graham Education Center — a K-8 school located in Miami Lakes — has banned student from reading or checking out the following books.

They said the reason included references of, "indirect hate messages," critical race theory, gender ideology & indoctrination.
1. The Hills We Climb
2. Cuban Kids
3. Countries in the News Cuba
4. Love to Langston
5. The ABCs of Black History

Ironically, the controversy led to a surge in sales for Amanda Gorman's writing. "The Hills We Climb" hit #1 on the Amazon Best Seller list.

On Friday, the Israeli military continued its destruction of the Kamal Adwan Hospital in Beit Lahiya, Gaza, during which it abducted hospital director Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya. Dr. Abu Safiya was known and well-respected for his refusal to leave his work at the hospital, refusing to abandon his patients, even after the Israeli military killed his son.
