Not to be lost in the news of the 90 day freeze…is the fact that Mike Johnson and House Republicans voted to take away their own power (which Congress has) in the future to stop Trump from putting in place crazy tariffs in the future. This is the 2nd time this year they have done this.

Do not normalize children dying from measles. Measles was previously eliminated in the US, thanks to vaccines. When children die from measles, it means that adults have catastrophically failed to protect them because they have rejected basic science.

Mahmoud Khalil was arrested and detained simply for voicing his beliefs. Instead of preparing for the arrival of his first child with his wife, he’s sitting in ICE detention. This Arab American Heritage Month and beyond, we’re fighting for everyone’s fundamental right to dissent.

Image of Mahmoud Khalil and his wife sitting by the water. Next to the image, the quote attributed to Mahmoud Khalil, a student unlawfully detained for his advocacy in support of Palestinian human rights. "The Trump administration is targeting me as part of broader strategy to suppress dissent...In the weeks ahead, students, advocates, officials must unite to defend the right to protest for Palestine. At stake are not just our voices the the fundamental civil liberities of all."
