The media blackout of Jared Kushner’s historic, ongoing corruption scandal As Trump's son-in-law returns to Pakistan for more talks with Iran, major news outlets are largely ignoring an egregious conflict of interest.

Kushner is serving in this role while on the payroll of the Saudi government.

Let's look at the data.

South Side Birth Center Breaks Ground, Bringing Equitable Maternal Health Care To Area The center is expected to assist in about 225 births annually while offering reproductive, preventive and gender-affirming care. It has a planned opening in early 2027.

Congrats to Jeanine for breaking ground on the South Side Birth Center, the first of its kind for the community.

I’ve been proud to be a part of this process since we established the Birth Equity Initiative — and we'll keep expanding access statewide.

Today, I asked the government why it is choosing broad, inefficient tax cuts over focused supports that would actually reduce poverty. I also asked when we will see action on a guaranteed livable basic income, a recommendation that could be implemented at a comparable cost. 3/3

No Wrongful Execution for Tony Carruthers Tony Carruthers was convicted without physical evidence, based solely on testimony from informants. Now, Tony is scheduled for execution on May 21st by Tennessee after being forced to represent himself at trial. Join us in calling for fingerprint and DNA testing before a possibly innocent man is put to death.

Tennessee is trying to execute Tony Carruthers without testing fingerprints and DNA evidence that could prove he’s innocent.

Sign our petition and tell the state of Tennessee to test the forensic evidence before Tony is put to death.

It is way past time to impeach Sec. Hegseth.

He has waged an illegal war in the Middle East, violated international law, illegally invaded Venezuela, and endangered our service members. It’s time for him to go! And we grateful to Rep. Ansari for leading the way!

No one is above the law.

BREAKING: A jury has found Live Nation and Ticketmaster to be an illegal monopoly that overcharges fans.

After the federal government settled the case, 34 states kept pursuing the giant ticket and concert company.

Now, the states have won.

Families across the U.S. are getting college acceptance letters — and tuition bills NPR's Ayesha Rascoe speaks with economist Judith Scott-Clayton about the cost of college in the U.S. They discuss the difference between sticker and net price and the opaqueness of tuition costs.

I just listened to an extended NPR interview w an education economist about 40 yrs of rising college tuition & student debt, and not a single mention that 40 yrs ago was about the time all states cut higher education budgets, privatized tuition, in order to pay for tax cuts and prisons

The Nation: The High Cost Of Anti-Immigrant Laws In Georgia, HB 87 is a "giant scarecrow" for immigrant labor, and the result has been hundreds of millions in lost crops. The Nation's Sean Sellers and Greg Asbed show the real effects of immigration policy.

When Georgia passed their anti-immigration bill in 2011, migrants left the state and farmers had to let their tomato crops die on the vines. I used it as a teaching moment to let students know why there weren't tomatoes on the salad bar. People have short memories.

Protect the Pecos! The Trump Admin is moving to reverse protections for the Upper Pecos Watershed just as they have with Chaco Canyon.

This follows years of our communities in NM speaking out and our delegation fighting to protect this area. We must keep fighting to protect the Pecos Watershed!

Rarely has a people had such an *opportunity* to stop the evils of their government as we do right now. If we impeach and remove Trump, we will avert additional crimes against humanity. If we do not, history will judge us harshly. All of us. Yes, even me and you.

Spanish PM Pedro calls for the IMMEDIATE ARREST of Netanyahu
He said: "Netanyahu launched the worst possible unjustified attack against Lebanon. His contempt for life and international law is intolerable. He is a criminal that must be arrested immediately.” #cdnpoli

Now the judicial hammer is dropping. A federal judge just signaled he’s prepared to block the $6.2B Nexstar-Tegna merger. Even though the FCC and DOJ gave it a thumbs up, the court is worried about antitrust violations and the "death of local news".

What it all boils down to is whether we can get to Nuremberg this time without passing through Hiroshima and Auschwitz. It's really that simple.

Impeach him!

Yes, impeachment must move forward. Public hearings, the whole bit.

Speaker Johnson, we are calling on you to bring the House back to DC IMMEDIATELY!

The Cabinet needs to invoke the 25th Amendment. But Congress can’t just sit on its hands and wait for that to happen when the President is threatening to commit war crimes TONIGHT.

I have voted twice to advance articles of impeachment. We cannot wait. Congress must convene immediately and begin proceedings to remove this man from office for the safety of our nation, Americans, and the world.

Begin the impeachment process now. Today!

Impeach. Today.

It even has a private right of action.

A staggering new finding from Harvard's Joint Center for Housing Studies: since 2001, the money left over each month for lower-income renters—after paying rent and utilities—has fallen 60 percent to a record low of $210.

$210 left over for food, healthcare, childcare, and everything else.
