Can the idiot in the White House even delete a national holiday by executive order? Doesn't Congress need to approve something like this? And Juneteenth is another important day. If black children can experience racism, White children can at least learn about it.

The collective 7.5% tax rate paid over 7 years by American, Delta, JetBlue, Southwest and United is about half the 14.5% paid by the average U.S. household in 2022.
Counting only Delta, Southwest and United—the collective tax rate declines to 4%.

Anti-abortion groups are pushing to ban abortion coverage for anyone who gets tax credits to pay for health insurance through the Affordable Care Act.
If Congress caves, this would be the first federal ban on private insurance coverage of abortion, and could push care out of reach for millions.

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

Hospitals are closing because Donald Trump and Republicans in Congress pulled $2 trillion out of our health care system to fund tax breaks for the wealthy.
Sen. Chris Murphy lays out what that means for all of us—fewer doctors, fewer clinics, and 600 hospitals at risk.
