President Donald Trump recorded another first, this time not commemorating #WorldAIDSDay. President Joe Biden delivered remarks on December 1, 2024. President George W. Bush commemorated the day on December 1, 2008. Every president since 1988, except this year. #ShameShameShameOnTrump

npr.org

For the first time since 1988, the U.S. is not officially commemorating World AIDS Day

Noting the decision not to mark the day, the State Department stated: "An awareness day is not a strategy." Activists in the fight to end the ongoing AIDS epidemic disagree.

“Hopefully POTUS starts focusing less on international stuff and more on domestic issues,” one White House official told MSNBC after losses in Virginia, New Jersey and New York City rolled in.

This is a national disgrace, done without any public input or the consent of the U.S. Congress. The work of a dictator unaccountable to anyone. Let's wake up Republicans in the Congress, or Trump will render the Congress useless.

If Congress lets enhanced premium tax credits expire, 4 million Americans will lose health coverage — including 1.1 million Black Americans. Healthcare isn’t a luxury. It’s a right. Congress must act now to keep coverage affordable and protect every family’s care.

Republicans are lying that the ACA covers undocumented individuals. It does not. The ACA law states an “individual must be a citizen or national of the United States or an alien lawfully present in the United States” to purchase a plan. Democrats have not proposed any changes to that provision.

Rep. Robin Kelly (D-IL2) condemned Trump for sabotaging the $1.9 billion Red Line Extension project, falsely claiming the project's "race-based contracting." The Red Line extension is slated to add four train stops on the city’s South Side, improving access for disadvantaged communities.

Our very own, Pope Leo XIV, who grew up in the 2nd congressional district town of Dolton, Illinois, took the Trump administration to task suggesting on Tuesday that people who support the “inhuman treatment of immigrants in the United States” may not be “pro life.”

White House pushes back on Pope Leo’s statement that immigrants are subject to 'inhuman treatment' in the U.S.

It’s not the first time the bishop of Rome has criticized the Trump administration’s immigration policies.
