TODAY: New SNAP cuts are kicking in because of Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill." 5 million people have already lost food assistance, including 1.5 million+ kids since the bill was enacted. No kid deserves to go hungry so Trump can give his billionaire buddies another tax handout.

California is ending child marriage – years after more than a third of the nation had done so, and long after most other states had established a minimum age to wed.

California ends child marriage after years of debate
Before the new law was signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom, California didn't even have a minimum age for marriage — unlike most other states.

I know that many of us have been inured to much of the lawlessness of the Trump admin by now, but we must continue to talk about how this is explicit white supremacy being institutionalized. Anyone who doesn't root this out of our government stem and root will be complicit with ethnic cleansing.

Oh for gods sake. First, while it’s true that Florida has the highest ACA enrollment in the country, no, there are not "5 x more people enrolled in Obamacare in Florida than live in the state." Around 19% of the total population is enrolled, which is high but hardly over 100%. 1/5th =/= 5x.

A teacher earning $60,000 pays Social Security taxes on every dollar she earns. A worker earning $184,500 does too. But someone earning $10 million pays tax on just the first $184,500. That doesn’t make sense. We can protect Social Security if everyone paid their fair share.

Abortion bans tie women to their abusers through pregnancy. Defunding domestic violence services means survivors have fewer options to get help. Ending no fault divorce traps survivors in abusive marriages. It’s all related.
