Trump has denied disaster relief for Illinois following severe storms in August. Trump approved a request from Indiana for damage resulting from the same storms. One is a "blue state." The other is a "red state." No other president has politicized natural disasters the way that Trump has.

We can't expect students to learn if they're hungry. Whether they're in kindergarten, high school, or college — it's just common sense. That's why we're making it easier for UC, CSU, and CC students to apply for CalFresh and get healthy, nutritious food.

The last time a Democrat won a Senate race in Texas, James Talarico wasn’t even alive. Yes, it’s been a long time. The last time the party won a Senate seat in Texas, Ronald Reagan was still president, the Soviet Union still existed, and the Los Angeles Dodgers won the World Series. More here:

60 attended Oct. 6 Ohio Power Board Siting hearing in New Albany for NEO gas plant to help power Meta Prometheus data center. 3 plants were approved with no public notice or hearing. Why wasn't hearing held in Licking County, where gas plant would be built? @ccbecker271.bsky.social
From left are Save Ohio Parks volunteers Cathy Cowan Becker, board president; Shannon Flanders of Westerville; and Rebecca Malik of New Albany.

Save Ohio Parks board member Malik testified about moving to Ohio from Washington, D.C., and choosing New Albany due in part to its beautiful environment. Now, she said, it's threatened by NEO and six other major gas plants approved and proposed to power data centers. (Save Ohio Parks Photo)
Mimi Plevin-Foust, board member of Faith Communities Together for a Sustainable Future (FaCT), spoke of her father, who grew up in Weirton, W.Va., which has ranked among U.S. cities with the worst air quality because of fine particulate matter. 

He developed pulmonary fibrosis that killed him in his 70s. She said now that we've cleaned up air pollution, we should not release it again with gas to power data centers. (Save Ohio Parks Photo)
Molly Scott, nature educator at Healthy New Albany, asked the Ohio Power Siting Board how she should explain to the children she teaches that the state would approve a major gas plant, knowing the pollution it would create and the harm that pollution does to children and communities. (Save Ohio Parks Photo) 

Buckeye Environmental Network board member Greg Pace testified that NEO alone would create over 100 Olympic-sized swimming pools worth of toxic, radioactive gas and oil fracking waste brine per year, which would be disposed of in Class II injections wells - where it often migrates into other wells and now threatens drinking water in Marietta.

NEWS: Eight major U.S. allies—including Canada, the UK, France, Germany, Italy, and Japan—have issued a joint rebuke of the Trump regime’s sweeping sanctions on the International Criminal Court. They vow “unwavering support” for the ICC’s independence.
A vertical graphic on a white background displays an October 9, 2026, joint statement from the foreign ministers of Canada, Denmark, Germany, France, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom. The full statement, presented in black serif text, reaffirms unwavering support for the International Criminal Court (ICC), strongly opposes U.S. sanctions against the Court, warns of their impact on its work, staff, and families, and pledges continued support for international justice, accountability, and the rules-based international system.Marco Rubio, mouth agape, as he announces sweeping sanctions on the ICC to try to punish them for acknowledging Bibi Netanyahu’s war crimes

Trauma endures in Paris suburb after police grenade shatters teenager's jaw: 'They maim a student, leave, and then what? How are we supposed to pick up the pieces?'
On September 28, 14-year-old Eden suffered a fractured jaw and lost most of his teeth after he was struck in the face by a tear-gas grenade fired at close range, just a few meters from his high school, where a protest was taking place. Students, teachers and parents spoke of their fear, anger and sense of helplessness.

Your regular reminder that the job of an ICE officer is dramatically safer than the job of a regular cop, such that not a single ICE deportation officer has been killed in the line of duty since 1949 (and that was actually a stabbing inside an INS jail in Hawaii, not street enforcement).
