I was laid off from Teen Vogue this week, alongside multiple other phenomenal team members.

At our Summit, I was asked how it felt to be 1 of 2 Black women left and what that meant for representation. Now, there are no Black women at Teen Vogue and that is incredibly painful to think about.

They “didn’t know they had the legal authority” to use the SNAP emergency funds and it may take until Wednesday to figure out the process. They tore down the East Wing overnight and will send their goon squads into cities and put people in camps with no problem…. but feed people? Don't be fooled.

Here’s a disturbing video from Evanston of a federal agent hitting a man on the ground as people yell that he can’t breathe.

Kristi Noem is lying.
Kristi Noem: "No American citizens have been arrested or detained. We focus on those who are here illegally. And anything you would hear or report that would be different than that is simply not true and false reporting."
They’re trying to erase what the whole world saw.
January 6 wasn’t “patriotism.”
It was an attack on democracy, fueled by lies and protected now by power.
We remember. And we will not let them rewrite the crime scene.

I'm shaking almost too hard to type. I entered SLC airport and heard screams and cries for help. I could see people gathered around, watching. I sped over to discover this woman face down on the floor, four grown men pushing her down, while she cried "HELP ME" and pled for her child.

Eric is a Missouri congressman.

He is quite literally dependent on the federal government for his paycheck, his housing, and his free healthcare. He’s a tax recipient.

Susan Collins has never been more vulnerable. This is our chance to retake this U.S. Senate seat and give Maine people a fighter for them in Washington.
