    Special education protections exist because families fought hard for them. The Trump Administration is now moving oversight away from the offices built to enforce them — and that has real consequences for real kids and their families.

    3.5 million people have lost food assistance since the Big Ugly Bill passed. That’s 3.5 million seniors, working adults, and families with kids. Meanwhile, the same bill cut taxes for the wealthiest Americans. That's a choice. And it's the wrong one. www.cnbc.com/amp/2026/05/...

    The President promised the White House ballroom wouldn't cost taxpayers a dime. New documents show taxpayers are paying $300 million of a $600M price tag. But somehow we can't afford rural hospitals, Medicaid, or SNAP. www.washingtonpost.com/investigatio...
