Trump has banned the federal government from observing World AIDS Day, which has been commemorated, by Republican and Democratic presidents on December 1 since 1988.

Trump has also cut programs that combat HIV and AIDS, scrapped prevention resources, and restricted funding.

A directive from the State Department assures that 2025 will be different from 2024, when President Biden hosted the first display of AIDS Memorial Quilt panels at the White House.

Some are speculating that if the California governor’s race remains unwieldy, it could create a divide allowing two Republicans to advance to the general election in the nation’s bluest state.

❌ The Senate didn't pass a "Born in America Act" that required every federal officeholder to be a natural-born U.S. citizen, stripping naturalized citizens and anyone with dual citizenship of their positions. The story was made-up: www.snopes.com/fact-check/b...
Did the 'Born in America Act' pass, forcing federal officeholders to resign? Not so fast
In reality, such a change to the law likely would require a constitutional amendment.

Haiti is in crisis: gang violence, extreme poverty & instability. It’s unthinkable to send Haitian TPS recipients into such clear danger. I’ll keep fighting to prevent deportations of law-abiding Haitians to deadly conditions.

Today, in Utah, homeowners *or renters* can simply buy a solar panel at Costco, take it home, and plug it in to a wall socket, like an appliance. It just sits there & trims about 15-20% off a residential power bill. If you move to another apt., you can take it with you.

Over 200 men were sent by Kristi Noem-in violation of a court order-to the CECOT prison for terrorists

She claimed they were criminals. In reality, most had no criminal records, and many had valid claims for asylum

They were tortured. Beaten. Sexually abused. Even shot.
