Billionaire families have spent $1.7 BILLION on the 2026 midterms so far — a 5,200% increase since the 2010 midterms. Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day. Big Money is the root of our dysfunction.

If they’re admitting 81 planes, drones and helicopters worth $3.3 billion have been lost in Iran, imagine what they’re not telling us. The real cost is likely far higher, and our grandchildren will be paying for this unnecessary war and his reckless spending. www.businesstoday.in/amp/world/st...

#ResistanceRoots Henrietta Lacks died on this day in 1951 in Baltimore, Md. She only became well-known for what she contributed after her death. However, she deserves to be remembered as a beautiful young mother who was much more than her immortalized human cell line used in medical research. /1
Henrietta Lacks, ca. late 1940s. Lacks is the unwitting mother of modern medical research whose exploitation forced the world to reinvent medical ethics. As the source of the HeLa cell line, she unknowingly gave humanity its first “immortal” human cells, enabling medical advances that have touched millions of lives worldwide. The dark side of these medical breakthroughs is the stark reality of paternalistic, Jim Crow-era medicine, where a poor Black woman’s body could be harvested without her knowledge or informed consent. For decades, Henrietta was reduced to an anonymous laboratory code. Today, her descendants, artists and global communities have fought to ensure she is remembered as a person. Her final resting place is marked with a granite headstone honoring her not just as a medical miracle, but as a mother who loved to cook, wear bright red lipstick, and take care of her family.

It's already estimated that the richest 1% alone evade $163 billion in taxes every year. But Trump gutted the IRS — including the unit tasked with auditing billionaires. The agency's audit revenue fell 35%. Now, Trump's IRS is not publishing data on unpaid taxes. See the problem?

A president does not get to choose his own press corps. The White House briefing room is not Trump's stage and the press pass is not a party favor handed out for flattering coverage, it is the public's seat in the room, held in trust by reporters who work for us, not for him.
CNN statement graphic on a dark background with the red CNN logo at top left. The statement says CNN stands behind its White House team and their reporting, asserts a constitutional right to report without government interference, and says that if the ban President Trump threatened goes ahead, it would be an illegal assault on that right.
