Something unprecedented happened during my visit to the Gulf. For the first time in 20 years in Congress, I was denied entry to U.S. military facilities and even meetings with military leaders. An order from Hegseth - that applies to both parties - to hide the cost of the war.

We are projected to spend $268 BILLION on deportations — costing the average American taxpayer about $2,358 (according to @epi.org). But somehow we “can’t afford” to make sure hungry children can eat or ensure everyone, no matter their income, can access healthcare. Priorities.

I’ll always remember Dolly Parton for the fact that she donated $1 million in 2020 to the research that led to Moderna’s COVID vaccine, as well as millions more for childhood vaccine and cancer research. She was an immensely talented, kind, and giving person.

It’s lupin season here in Nova Scotia. The sight (and smell) of these wildflowers always transports me back to my childhood.

A field of vibrant purple and pink lupin wildflowers carpet the landscape in front of a rust coloured iron bridge surrounded by trees. The sky overhead is shades of dark grey and deep blue.

BREAKING: Harry Dunn and Daniel Hodges, two law enforcement officers who clashed with Jan. 6 insurrectionists, have sued to block the Trump 'slush fund'. They're asking a federal judge to find the creation of the fund illegal and reverse any transfers that Treasury has made to DOJ to implement it.

Around 70% of the U.S. economy depends on consumer spending. As wealth concentrates in the richest 10%, the rest of America can’t afford to buy enough to keep the economy running. This is a huge problem — and even America’s most powerful CEOs are starting to sound the alarm.

TRUMP'S BIG UGLY BILL:
• Forces nearly a trillion dollars in cuts to Medicaid, the largest cut to the life-saving program ever by a factor of FOUR
• Gives ICE a larger budget than many militaries around the world
• Eliminates funding for green energy
• Strips healthcare away from 5% of Americans
• Kicks 11.8 million people off SNAP benefits
• Represents the largest transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich in US history
