The executive director of the Israel Cyber Directorate—an Israeli agency under the purview of prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu—was arrested in Las Vegas for luring a child with a computer for a sex act.

He was released and returned to Israel shortly thereafter.

So Rep. Andy Ogles - who said “kill them all” after being asked about Palestinian children - has a ‘Make Gaza Great Again’ bill to back up Trump’s ridiculous Gaza comments?

Pinocchiogles at it again.

NEW: The N.I.H. will cut about $4 Billion from federal research grants that support cancer, virus and heart disease research.

#Project2025 called for the cuts to end subsidies to "leftist" university agendas.

Deep Cuts to Medical Research Funds Could Hobble University Budgets
Grants from the National Institutes of Health come with additional money for overhead. Proposed funding cuts would leave colleges with large budget gaps.

The goal of our nation-leading Child Tax Credit is simple: lift kids out of poverty and get money back to working families.
 
Last year, nearly 225,000 families claimed the Child Tax Credit and saw an average total credit of $2,500.

Trump has rescinded Biden’s Executive Order 14087, “Lowering Prescription Drug Costs for Americans,” which included things like lowering state Medicaid costs for the most expensive therapeutics, reducing Medicare payments for proven drugs, and creating a flat, $2 Medicare copay for generic drugs
Trump’s initial orders reverse Biden on health care costs, protections from discrimination
Trump's executive orders took aim at Biden's priorities, from drug pricing to gender discrimination.

We got major endorsements yesterday from the four largest public sector unions—AFSCME, AFT, NEA, and SEIU.

Then I got on stage in Detroit and shared a bold vision to unite, fight, and win for working people.

Our strong movement is growing even stronger.

Ever since the disastrous Citizens United ruling, outside spending on federal elections has skyrocketed.

Big money corrupts our politics and erodes our democracy — creating a vicious cycle that funnels more wealth and power to those at the top.

Here’s a question: despite spending twice as much per capita on healthcare as other major countries, our life expectancy is, on average, almost 5 years lower.

Even worse, working class Americans live 5-10 years shorter lives than the wealthy.

Why is that? What can we do about it?

Let’s be clear. Privatization of the post office will mean some addresses simply will not be covered because they are unprofitable. Think of it like our private healthcare system.

Every time I see this man I'm going to remind everyone who will listen that his career started under Obama where he was ICE's head of deportations & innovated a policy of separating children from parents as a migration deterrent. Obama gave him a Presidential Rank Award for Distinguished Executives.

Amid the backdrop that more than a dozen members of Trump's Cabinet are billionaires, a reminder that this is what happened to income inequality in this country once the tax rate for top earners was slashed after 1980. Trickle down does not work and top earners' priority is themselves.
