We stand in solidarity with Attorney General Letitia James because we know what’s at stake. Democracy cannot thrive when accountability is punished, when integrity is met with intimidation..

October is #BreastCancerAwareness month.

#Breastcancer was seen as an incurable disease.

Women's Field Army was a group that recruited hundreds of thousands of women, mostly from social elite circles, to raise funds to promote cancer detection awareness.

Trump claims ICE’s reign of terror in Chicago is targeting the “worst of the worst.”

But out of the 1,000 undocumented immigrants that have swept up, the agency has only cited 10 men with a criminal background.

Don’t believe his lies for a second.
www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/t...

Trump says migrants drive violent crime in Illinois. But ICE can’t find many violent criminals.

Masked ICE agents and other federal forces showed up in Chicago to go after gangsters. Instead, they keep catching people who are just living their lives.

Watch this quick explainer on the Hatch Act and you’ll see just how far the regime has gone—propaganda in airports, partisan emails, and political orders from the top. It’s not “messaging,” it’s a full-blown assault on the law that keeps our government nonpartisan.

Bill is exactly right! Republicans own this shutdown you just have to look back and see how many times in the past in Trump’s 1sr term they tried to repeal the ACA. Their only concept of a plan is to privatize to enrich their donors! Democrats have to stand firm!
