A new proposed HUD rule would eliminate the right of mixed-status families to continue living together in HUD-assisted housing. If implemented, the proposed rule would have devastating consequences on the lives of children. Read our full statement below:

Three National Guardsmen in Chinatown outside the metro.

Periodic reminder: D.C. remains patrolled all over the city by armed members of the National Guard deployed to do so by President Trump.

Lordy. And the problem with 15 year old pregnancies is “their financial security.” 😳. A stock portfolio would totally do the trick. Oh. My. Goodness.

Rep. Jamie Raskin is calling on the White House physician to conduct a cognitive test of Trump amid his heightened rhetoric about the US war with Iran.

Trump’s public statements and outbursts are increasingly incoherent, volatile, profane, deranged, and threatening.

Hard no. No tri”trump”hal arches out-shadowing our national cemetery with gaudy indulgence and excess. The cemetery already honors our heroes with dignity and respect that is sacred to their sacrifices. Just no.

This is vile. No one needs a lawyer to tell them this is illegal. This is an all-hands-on-deck moment no matter your politics. The U.S. Congress, the American public, U.S. military, U.S. allies or former allies. We need each & every one of you to call him back from the brink.

We Don’t Talk About Leonard: The Man Behind the Right’s Supreme Court Supermajority The inside story of how Leonard Leo built a machine that remade the American legal system — and what he plans to do next.

Leonard Leo is a lawyer, but he's never argued a case in court. He's never held elected office.

But for years he rebuilt the American legal system, resulting in the Supreme Court's right-wing supermajority.

Text on graphic reads: The Department of Justice has dropped 23,000 criminal cases while prosecuting 32,000 new immigration cases in just the first six months of Trump’s second term. -Nearly 5,000: federal drug cases, including trafficking and money laundering -Over 900: cases of federal program or procurement fraud -More than 1,300: cases involving terrorism and national security

The DOJ quietly closed 23,000+ criminal cases in the first six months of Trump’s second administration, abandoning hundreds of investigations into terrorism, white-collar crime, drugs and other offenses as it shifted resources to pursue immigration cases.

Voting Rights Groups Challenge Executive Order on Mail-In Ballots as Illegal Interference in Elections President Trump’s unlawful executive order would take control of mail-in ballots from the states and create an unvalidated, error-prone system that would risk disenfranchising eligible voters. The pre...

Breaking: We've sued the Trump administration over the mail voting executive order. It's illegal. Unworkable. And anti-democratic. It would block eligible voters from casting ballots. We're representing civic groups in this challenge, with other voting groups as co-counsel.

Boy do I wish this NYT article was an April Fool’s Day joke. One quote says household voting makes sense because “Everybody seems more stressed out, angry, frustrated with one another, depressed.” Girrlll, we are angry, frustrated, and depressed *because* we’re still fighting against this nonsense.

The @kygop Know-Nothings tell you this is about financial responsibility but they’re lying. This is about tearing down higher education: Teach the MAGA Way or get out. Sadly, the universities have already demonstrated their willingness to be complicit.

Russia took satellite images of U.S. airbase in days before Iranian attack, Ukraine's Zelenskyy says Volodymyr Zelenskyy told NBC News it would be a "mistake" if American-made missile interceptors bound for Ukraine were diverted to Gulf countries being attacked by Iran.

Hope no protesters further triggered him with any chalk art, like when he lived within a neighborhood and had to actually encounter the community members he denigrates, deports, and degrades.

The sun always shines extra bright on protest days, and that is some beautiful symbolism for democracy protection protests! Be the light in your town, village, community, city, family, workplace, organization, Main Street, and country!

An OB-GYN Was Repeatedly Accused of Sexual Misconduct. The State Medical Board Let Him Keep Practicing. The first accusation against Dr. Mark Mulholland came in January 2022. Two more arrived in 2023 and a fourth in 2024 before the board took action against his license last year. Then even more patients...

Four female patients complained to the state medical commission about alleged sexual misconduct by Dr. Mark Mulholland from 2022 to 2024.

The board waited until April 2025 to file a formal statement of charges.

The beauty of cherry blossoms blooming in D.C. really puts on display the dissonance of a militarized capital city. Democracy needs to bloom brighter than these regressive tactics. Be the cherry blossoms 🌸 and shine your light tomorrow Bluesky. (Pic from WaPo FB Post).

This has “my son can no longer enjoy a Ribeye steak” energy flipping the victim and offender.

Detained by ICE, he missed multiple cancer treatments. Now he’s in hospice. Some immigrants with chronic health problems were swept up by ICE in Minnesota, leading to missed medications and, for one man, missed chemotherapy sessions.

Oudone Lothirath missed four out of five chemotherapy appointments while in ICE detention and received no medical care there. Now he will likely die in a matter of days. www.startribune.com/how-ice-deta...

“Estranged” is a skewed word framing this story’s family law content. The son didn’t fall out of contact passively as estranged might imply. He alleges abandonment/neglect leading to abuse. Estranged suggests a path to a different legal outcome regarding support obligations (the article’s subject).
