The Trump admin would rather blow money gilding the Oval Office & hosting trashy events than preventing 🇺🇸's children from drowning. Drowning is, "the leading cause of death among children ages 1 to 4 and is one of the top causes of death among children ages 5 to 14." www.npr.org/sections/sho...

I think that was part of the butterfly effect of 2016. There were weird senate (see: WI) results and house (see: MN 02) results that 2024 was eerily similar to. The psychopath was convinced he'd win MN (which is hilarious) all 3 elections.

As our governor, Katie Hobbs has been working to lower costs for families and deliver on the Arizona promise. We need to re-elect her so she can keep up the fight. She's the right leader for Arizona, and @gabbygiffords.bsky.social and I are proud to support her.

A report from the World Health Organization says 1 in 4 people lack access to safe water to drink. Even more don't have water for sanitation. We asked someone who grew up that way to share childhood memories.

"Trump officials are literally searching through lists of contracts and research grants for taboo words like 'diversity,' 'female,' and 'ethnicity' to target them for cancellation."

The Trump administration's racist and misogynist intent is strikingly literal. You can find it in DOGE's GitHub commit history. When we report on the admin systematically firing women and black people, this fact deserves to be mentioned. Even in a "just asking questions" type of way.

MLK then began to deliver his prepared remarks. From behind the podium, Jackson said to him, “Tell them about the dream, Martin.” Just as MLK was comfortable telling her what to sing, she felt comfortable telling him what to say. He put aside his written notes and began to speak from the heart. /3

Tarrant County officials said the move to cut more than 100 polling sites was to save money as they historically see low voter turnout in nonpresidential elections. But fewer voting sites means fewer voters, a political science expert said.
