Pete Buttigieg says he was separated from his children after someone made a false report to CPS.
Whoever is responsible for this must be found and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law!
I stand with Pete and his husband Chasten.
Who is with me? ✋
This week someone targeted my family for harm with a false report. We’re physically OK, but that doesn’t mean we weren’t harmed. I am beyond furious.
Whatever your politics, this is awful, wrong, and can never become normal. https://t.co/72wxaVLzVT
BREAKING: Texas becomes the first state to mandate Bible passages in public school reading lists.
The State Board of Education approved the new required literature curriculum today in a 9-5 vote. It forces K-12 students (over 5 million kids) to read specific Bible excerpts alongside other texts.
This is a direct violation of church-state separation.

Never forget that the trump administration wants to throw people in jail for touching water in the reflecting pool but allowed an ICE agent to walk free after he murdered a woman in broad daylight on camera and called her a "fucking bitch."
BREAKING: Trump's Education Secretary Linda McMahon hit with HISTORIC first-ever impeachment for illegally dismantling the department she runs Linda McMahon — the former pro-wrestling executive Trump installed to run the Department of Education — is now facing the first impeachment of an Education Secretary in American history. And the reason is simple: she's accused of breaking federal law to destroy her own department.
Oregon Democrat Suzanne Bonamici introduced articles of impeachment Thursday, accusing McMahon of "illegally transferring the operations of 6 offices under the Department of Education to other Federal agencies."
Here's the core of it. The Department of Education was created by Congress in 1980. By law, only CONGRESS can shut it down. But McMahon — carrying out Trump's campaign promise to dismantle it — has been gutting the department piece by piece anyway, using backdoor "interagency agreements" to shove its programs over to Health and Human Services and the Labor Department.
The problem? Many of those programs are LEGALLY REQUIRED to stay within the Education Department. McMahon doesn't have the authority to move them. She's doing it anyway.
"McMahon has made it her mission to close down the Department of Education, something she does not have the right to do," Bonamici said on the House floor. And she made clear exactly who gets hurt: "Educators and parents, especially parents of students with DISABILITIES, are distraught and asking us to take action to stop these illegal transfers."
That's the cruelty at the heart of this. The Education Department administers critical protections and funding for students with disabilities — kids who depend on federal oversight to get the education they're legally entitled to. McMahon is throwing that into chaos.
McMahon's response was pure deflection, whining on X that Democrats think "an impeachable offense is working to improve student outcomes" before pivoting to her favorite culture-war obsession — attacking trans students, a focus of hers since day one.
The impeachment is unlikely to succeed in the GOP-controlled House. But it draws a crucial line: a Cabinet official cannot simply IGNORE the law and unilaterally dismantle a department Congress created.
A wrestling executive shouldn't get to bulldoze public education.

In Texas they can teach kids that a whale swallowed a man and spit him out three days later because God wanted to teach him a lesson but they can't teach kids that slavery was bad.
BREAKING: Rep. Ted Lieu humiliates MAGA U.S. Attorney Judge Jeanine for threatening to charge the nonexistent “vandals” dumping imaginary chemicals into the Reflecting Pool.
This is EXACTLY how you handle these lying lunatics…
“I guarantee that @JudgeJeanine will not charge anyone for dumping chemicals into the reflecting pool. Because if they had any evidence they would be parading it around 24/7,” Lieu wrote on X in response to a clip of Pirro ranting on Fox News.
“The reality is Trump screwed up the reflecting pool by overpaying on a no bid contract to an amateur,” he added.
The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool has become a defining debacle for the Trump administration in recent weeks. The President boasted that he was going to beautify the pool while slamming Obama for failing to do so. Trump poured $14.7 million of your tax dollars into the project, only for the algae to bloom more vividly than ever before. The entire pool turned a sickly green color, at which point Trump’s minions began dumping hydrogen peroxide into the water, exacerbating the discoloration. Soon after, strips of blue lining began to flake and dislodge from the pool’s lining.
Rather than admit that he made a mistake by handing the renovation contracts to shady, incompetent firms — including one operated by a convicted felon — Trump has begun insisting that "sick" and "deranged" vandals are to blame. Pirro has eagerly embraced the insane narrative.
"Anyone who is in a position of vandalizing or attempting to vandalize will face the criminal justice system in D.C.," she said. “Look, the president has made it a priority to make D.C. not only safe, but beautiful.”
Obviously, nobody is vandalizing the pool. Trump and Pirro know that, but they also know that the Republican base is gullible enough to believe anything that Trump says. They bought his lies about the 2020 election without a shred of evidence and now they’re eagerly gobbling up this Reflecting Pool propaganda.
Our best recourse is do what Congressman Lieu is doing: call them out at every turn. Republicans won’t listen to us, but the Independents who decide elections will!
Please ❤️ and share if you’re loving this Reflecting Pool saga!
There are cameras that monitor the Reflecting Pool 24/7 - it's Washington DC ffs. There is no footage of anyone damaging or trying to cause damage or sprinkling algae spores or doing anything of the sort. These people live in a world of lies and only morons believe them.
MAJOR BREAKING: Iran’s delegation has just left the venue where negotiations were supposed to take place with JD Vance in Switzerland, because of Trump’s threats.
Iran is demanding Trump apologize.
What a shitshow.
Nobody is vandalizing the Reflecting Pool, and Trump knows it. This is a visible example of his corruption--a no-bid contract to some crony followed by sky-high cost overruns, and shoddy construction to boot. Classic Trump: I didn't fuck up, it was my enemies.
The same donald trump who threatened "years in jail" for people who touch the peeling paint in the Reflecting pool pardoned 1500 people who destroyed the Capitol on Jan. 6.
