Article I Sections 9 & 10 of the U.S. Constitution—which limit presidential power over tariffs and protect habeas corpus—have disappeared from Congress’s website. They claim a coding error is to blame.

After House Republicans fled Washington to avoid voting on the Epstein files, they’re hosting town halls in their districts to tout Trump’s cuts to health care and food assistance. If they think their constituents will be happy to see them, they’ve got another thing coming.

We have some good news in these dark times! Narcisso Barranco, the father of three U.S. Marines, has been released from an ICE detention center in Adelanto, California. I hope to see more releases and more families reunited. Small steps lead to great victories.🔥 Please pass it on. #OnYourSide

As we watch the dismantling of the U.S. Dept of Ed, which will be felt somewhat in funding reductions to states and local districts, it will be felt even more so in a) oversight and enforcement of rights for vulnerable populations and b) access to high quality data & research.

I just received my proposed increase for my Medicare Supplement plan for 2026: it's almost $100 more per MONTH and a 17.9% INCREASE. That's $1,200 a year for someone like me, a person on a fixed income. This is DUE to the big UGLY bill passing.

🚨 NEW via WIRED: Newly uncovered metadata reveals nearly 3 minutes were cut from the so-called “full raw” Epstein prison video released by the DOJ and FBI. When WIRED asked for answers, the DOJ said “refer you to the FBI.” The FBI declined to comment. Link: www.wired.com/story/the-fb...

Metadata from the “raw” Epstein prison video shows approximately 2 minutes and 53 seconds were removed from one of two stitched-together clips. The cut starts right at the “missing minute.”

Closing rural post offices will do the same thing that closing rural schools has done: Empty out rural towns. Why? To sell off farmland for rock bottom prices to the oligarchs. Water and mineral rights and CAFOs polluting with impunity. It’s been the plan for decades.

Trump's in full retreat today as his poll numbers slip: He convened the cabinet to limit Elon after voters pressured Congress. He delayed the tariffs b/c the market dropped out & created fears of a recession. He's losing in court b/c DOGE didn't follow the law. Keep fighting.

For years in Louisiana, private schools were not required to administer the same standardized tests public schools were required to administer. Now we have data that show needy students in public schools perform better than needy students who use vouchers for private school. #DontDefundPublicSchools

It's annoying how clearly this is going to play out. They gut the FAA. Therefore, the FAA can't do its job well because it was gutted. Therefore, they say "The FAA sucks, we have to privatize it." which is what Project 2025 wants to do. They're manufacturing the crises for their end goal.
