No Kings protest kicking off in Washington, D.C. Here’s the view down Pennsylvania Avenue from near the front. Street is totally packed for blocks.

Everyone should read this devastating report: Trump’s sabotage of USAID stranded lifesaving medicines — fueling chaos and leaving children to die. His policies are destroying our reputation and influence overseas and literally killing kids. No words.

Yesterday, Meta unveiled a new "feed" on its platforms that will exclusively feature AI-generated videos. This overshadowed another big announcement... On Tuesday, Meta launched a super new PAC geared towards electing politicians that will block any AI regulation. Hello?

Indianapolis residents have shut down a proposed Google data center. The tech giant wanted to build a massive 500 acre facility, but people got organized and stopped them. The $1 billion data center would've used one million gallons of water a day. www.youtube.com/shorts/bhOHy...

Since February, Aid on the Hill has become a leading grassroots voice for U.S. foreign aid, all powered by volunteers. ‼️ Now we need your help. ‼️ We are fundraising to support our core operations and provide modest stipends to the former USAID staff and implementers leading this work.

He’s also selling a deadly lie: that gun ownership is a right without responsibility.

not a single person's job, not a single grant, will be saved by surrendering instead of fighting. ask columbia.

President Trump is trying to write himself a blank check to use the military to stifle dissent and target immigrants anywhere in the country. Tell your members of Congress to take action NOW.

Many thought that it was over for USAID in January. It wasn't. It still isn't. The vote in the House was close (212 nay -214 yea). The Senate now has until July 18 to vote. It MUST fail. Please call & email your senators for the next 35 days (even dems!) to VOTE NO. 5calls.org/issue/usaid-...

The proposed Republican cuts to lifesaving food aid for malnourished children in the FY26 budget is completely unacceptable. We are demanding that the bipartisan Food for Peace program be fully funded so @Edesianutrition and other vital aid organizations can continue their work.

Trump just appointed a 22-year-old MAGA campaign worker with ZERO experience in charge of the DHS office tasked with stopping domestic terrorism. Domestic terrorism is on the rise, and we need people who know what they are doing to tackle this serious issue. This is dangerous.

“No children are dying on my watch,” said Rubio. It's blatantly false. Credible estimates count 190K deaths so far. In Kenya, I am seeing devastating impact, incl this child's starvation & many deaths directly caused by Rubio’s actions. More in my @msnbc.com clip. www.instagram.com/atul.gawande...

A few points with regard to Secretary Rubio's testimony about US foreign assistance on the Hill the last couple of days... a thread.
