Opening our National Parks to private developers is a red line we cannot cross.
I’m fighting to protect Yosemite and put an end to the administration’s brazen efforts to put profit above one of our most iconic parks.

You heard that right. Speaker Johnson, the WEAKEST speaker of all time, was so scared that we had the votes to impeach Hegseth and hold him accountable that he’s sending us all home to make sure it doesn’t happen.

When the public finally learns the full accounting of the damage done in this war, it’ll probably be too late to hold anyone in the Trump administration accountable.
But this is insane. And they’re lying to the American people.

I, as a US taxpayer, am paying a quarter of my income to drop bombs on starving children in Gaza & Yemen. Meanwhile, another person just died of measles in Pennsylvania. I am in a constant state of boiling rage
Breaking news: The Trump administration is preparing a $2.8 billion sale of 2,000-pound bombs to Israel, the largest single sale of the controversial munitions in recent years, a U.S. official told The Post.
Trump’s planned sale of controversial bombs to Israel is largest in years
The pending transfer of the 2,000-pound munition, involved in scores of incidents resulting in civilian casualties, sets up a potential litmus test for Democrats.

I don’t believe the U.S. taxpayer should continue to arm Netanyahu’s government with deadly military equipment.
I believe Netanyahu is a war criminal and that his government has committed genocide in Gaza.

Important: the USPS rule that SCOTUS blocked tonight was Trump’s big plan to control and restrict mail voting.
But a separate policy remains in place: USPS is no longer postmarking mail as soon it gets it, which is hugely important for deadlines.
