Nearly all the staff in the Office of Special Education have been fired as part of Trump’s sweeping layoffs.

These are the people responsible for protecting the civil rights of students with disabilities and ensuring they receive an equal education.

More needless cruelty on display.

It's been 22 days since Adelita Grijalva was elected by the people of Arizona's seventh congressional district to represent them in Congress.

Mike Johnson still refuses to swear her in. At what point will political reporters start calling this a constitutional crisis?

If you're wondering why Donald hasn't done anything to fix the economy, bring down prices, or stop the violence by ICE in our cities . . . he is focused on bigger issues.

Patriotic Americans are participating in No Kings Day to show our support for America, our Republic, our democracy, and our U.S. Constitution, all of which are being systematically destroyed by the current occupant in the White House. By the way, we are not getting paid.

An extraordinary new policy from the Defense Department that equates basic reporting methods to criminal activity has prompted a revolt among Pentagon journalists that could leave the nation's largest agency and the world's largest military without a press corps.

'Without precedent': Virtually all news outlets reject restrictive Pentagon press policy

The policy would force news organizations to refrain from publishing material not approved by the military. Media lawyers say it violates the 1st Amendment.

Jacob Soboroff is doing a great job investigating and debunking the claims that ICE is making about their arrests targeted worst of the worst

Congress can help reign in ICE- IF we get a Democratic majority. That will be more likely if California passes Proposition 50. #YesOnProp50

It's really not about politics anymore. The apparatus of the Republican Party has simply become a haven for bad people.

Donald Trump is bragging that "This will be the longest government shutdown ever."

Fuck Donald Trump. He will NEVER break the will of democracy defending Americans. Take pride in that...and make Goddamned sure you're part of making sure that remains our reality.

"They know that in a functioning one-person-one-vote democracy, they could never pass the unpopular self-enriching policies they want. So they know they must focus on preserving and expanding the precedents that permit them to buy American democracy."
