The cyclospora outbreak has reached 13,895 cases across 47 states. The FDA has recalled 1.6 million eggs due to salmonella contamination. Screwworm cases continue to rise. And we’ve just surpassed 2,500 measles cases — breaking 2025’s record. “Make America Healthy Again.”

Donald Trump's 'Big Beautiful Bill' is a 1,116-page wrecking ball for America. It dismantles our social safety nets, sells out our future, and lines the pockets of the wealthy. That’s not ‘America First'-it's selling our economy to the highest bidder.

The largest Medicaid cuts in history so billionaires can get another tax break while adding trillions to the national debt seems like a catastrophically bad idea. Kill the bill.

The federal government is taking over the California National Guard and deploying 2,000 soldiers in Los Angeles — not because there is a shortage of law enforcement, but because they want a spectacle. Don't give them one. Never use violence. Speak out peacefully.

I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple. Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay.
