Israeli authorities detained humanitarian volunteers and American rabbis who were peacefully helping Palestinian farmers harvest their olives in the West Bank.
Jewish tradition calls on us to pursue justice. Today, American rabbis and advocates lived out those values by helping Palestinian farmers harvest their olives. Israeli authorities detained them, including congressional candidate @bradlander.bsky.social. 1/3
There's a reason that, in movies, the guys in expensive suits who show up to chop down trees and bulldoze a public park to build a golf course are the villains. East Potomac Park belongs to the American people, not a president who thinks our public lands are part of his golf course portfolio.
NEW: A federal judge ordered the Trump admin to stop cutting down trees at the historic East Potomac Park after crews felled about 430 trees in one day. The Park Service has been quietly handing out contracts to remake the public course into a luxury championship venue for Trump.
He dragged us into an unnecessary war with no vision for how it would end. His approval is cratering, and with nowhere else to turn, he’s lashing out at the very country he is supposed to lead. www.latimes.com/california/s...
Public lands belong to all Americans, and all Americans deserve to have a say in development that would affect our lands, waters, and access to public resources. subscriber.politicopro.com/article/2026...
Trump is grasping at straws to make this arch happen – but each plan is dumber than the last. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
Free press isn’t a privilege Trump gets to revoke when his feelings get hurt. It’s a cornerstone of our democracy and part of how we hold those in power accountable.
Trump: "I am proud to announce that, effective immediately, I am banning Fake News CNN, MSNOW, and Politico ... from the White House as a result of their constant 'reporting' FAKE NEWS!"
Yosemite is a national park, not a bargaining chip for private developers. I’ll continue to do everything I can to keep our public lands in public hands. www.sacbee.com/news/califor...
I’ve been against Trump’s arch from the start. Now, his own National Park Service is even admitting the harm this thing will cause. Do you know how we could avoid this harm? Don’t build the stupid thing.
NEW: Trump admin says its 250-foot arch will harm dozens of historic sites, including the Lincoln Memorial & Arlington Cemetery, but must proceed anyway. This is despite its own finding that it will loom over the graves of America's fallen & interfere with burials as it goes up.
The clock is ticking, Trump. We’re coming full force for your slush funds, sweetheart deals, donor kickbacks, vanity projects, family enrichment schemes, and every other way you’ve spent taxpayer money on yourself and your friends. . www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
Trump and his puppet Lee Zeldin have a vision for the EPA that is entirely backwards: big polluters come first, and Americans pay the price.
The Environmental Protection Agency is repealing rules that limit planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions from power plants fueled by coal and natural gas, an action the agency said would save industry more than $300 billion in costs and help “unleash” American energy.
Congratulations to Kala, Taylor, Izzy, and Zach from Ukiah High School on earning California’s Seal of Biliteracy in Northern Pomo. youtu.be/htTHDvY0BAI?...
This administration is completely out of touch with Americans. While groceries and rent are through the roof, they’re racing to build Trump’s tacky gilded arch that will desecrate our nation’s most sacred ground.
Trump is emboldened on his construction agenda, following the Supreme Court's ballroom ruling. Burgum announced today work will start on Trump's arch. DOJ lawyers also asked a federal judge today to throw out a legal challenge to arch, citing SCOTUS ballroom ruling as precedent.
www.npr.org/2026/09/01/n... This is an illegal and dangerous power grab, and we will fight it in court. We cannot let Trump interfere with our elections and take away people’s fundamental right to vote.
Our parks belong to all of us. These places should be protected for every generation, not sold off to Trump’s ultra-wealthy friends to profit off of. I will fight this, both for Yosemite and for every treasured park that would be up for grabs if this domino falls.
SCOOP: Trump officials are pressuring the National Park Service to find a way to give a small piece of Yosemite to a private developer. The land would be used for a road, to give the developer rare private access to the heart of the park.
