If Trump gets his way and guts the U.S. Department of Education, 7.5 million students with disabilities will lose access to critical special education services funded by the federal government.

Tonight, President Trump failed to mention a single action he’ll take to stop the number one killer of children and teens in this country: gun violence and crime.

The American people deserve leaders who put our children's safety ahead of the gun industry.

My son's 504 plan gave him the support he needed to thrive in school—but Republicans want to strip that away from millions of kids with disabilities.

Every child deserves a fair shot at success, not a system that leaves them behind.

We must fight back!

The Dept of Education wants DEI tips. I just wrote:

"I'm 76 years old. I wish to report my 1st grade teacher, Mrs. Wagner, for promoting DEI. She treated everybody equally."

When I saw the disgusting "trump Gaza" video this morning, the bile rose to my throat.

I won't share it. Instead, help me promote this counter narrative by Tala, from Gaza.

"Gaza is not yours to take. Gaza is ours, and we are still here. This is our land."

BRAVO to her strength and DEFIANCE. 🥹💪
