Two weeks ago, news broke that Trump is building a $5.5 billion golf club in Qatar. [3] Now, Qatar is offering Trump a $400 million jet to use as Air Force One, and then keep for personal use after his term is over.  That’s right—Trump wants to accept by far the most valuable gift in presidential history from a foreign government, and Attorney General Pam Bondi, who is supposed to impartially enforce our laws, is giving him the all-clear. Trump is not working for the people—he’s cashing in. We don't need to spell it out: This isn’t an innocent gift, it’s a bribe from a country that wants favorable treatment. And it’s a clear violation of our constitution.  And instead of treating this like the corruption it is, Attorney General Pam Bondi—fresh off of a $115,000 per month lobbying job for Qatar—is rubber-stamping this clear conflict of interest. But this is par for the course for Trump: While working people are struggling to put food on the table, Trump is securing a $400 million luxury plane for himself.  Help mobilize against this egregious corruption. Sign the petition and tell Congress: REJECT Trump’s shady plane deal from Qatar!

It’s a $45 MILLION project to stroke the ego of a man who dreams of ruling like a dictator.  The Pentagon is coordinating with the White House to plan a huge military spectacle next month. The latest details include 150 military vehicles including tanks rolling through DC streets, 6,600 uniformed soldiers marching past the White House, 50 helicopters, and fighter jets screaming overhead to recognize the Army’s 250th anniversary on June 14 — and perhaps not uncoincidentally, celebrate Trump’s 79th birthday.  But here’s the thing: This war parade simply cannot happen without support and cooperation from DC officials.  DC Mayor Muriel Bowser, alongside the DC Council, has the power to put up bureaucratic roadblocks at every turn, from requiring Trump’s team to cover the costs of police, security overtime, and road repairs, to guarantees protestors won’t be arrested or brutalized.  It’s all to say, there’s INCREDIBLE leverage to stop Trump’s tank party in its tracks. But DC can’t stop this parade alone: If we’re going to stop Trump again, Mayor Bowser needs to go toe-to-toe with the White House — an intimidating proposition for anyone. To do it, she’ll need to know that people across the country are with her — and that’s where you come in.

Hey everyone, I’m starting a petition to bring phone use back during lunch, and I really need your support. Right now, we don’t have the freedom to use our phones during one of the only breaks we get in the day. Lunch should be our time—to relax, check in with family, listen to music, or just have a moment to ourselves. We’re trusted to use phones responsibly outside of school—why not during lunch? By signing this petition, you’re helping send a clear message to the school board: we deserve to have a voice in the rules that affect us every day. The more of us who sign, the more seriously they’ll take this issue. It’s not just about phones—it’s about fairness, trust, and being treated like the responsible students we are. So if you believe in having that choice back, take 10 seconds and add your name. Together, we can actually make a difference. Thanks for standing up with me!

The 2025 wildfires didn’t just destroy homes, they exposed deep systemic inequities and left vulnerable residents without jobs, homes, or access to critical services. As future social workers, we believe recovery is not just about rebuilding structures; it’s about restoring people’s lives, their connections, and their opportunities. AB 338 is crucial because it provides a targeted solution for those most affected by the disaster. The bill would not only help rebuild the physical infrastructure but also offer long-term benefits, such as job training and local employment opportunities, that contribute to economic stability. This will help survivors recover their livelihoods while giving them the tools to rebuild their communities. If AB 338 is not passed, the rebuilding process will face significant delays, and thousands of low- and middle-income residents will be at risk of homelessness, financial instability, and adverse mental health outcomes. Families and businesses need the support of both local and state governments to recover in a way that restores their dignity and independence. By supporting AB 338, we can ensure a faster, more equitable recovery and invest in a California where communities are stronger, more resilient, and better prepared for the future.

As constituents of Texas’ 31st District, we believe it is vital that our elected representative maintain open, two-way communication with the people he serves. A public town hall provides a forum for dialogue, transparency, and accountability — values that transcend party lines and strengthen our democracy. Many of us have serious concerns about issues that directly impact our lives, such as protecting due process for all Americans and preserving essential healthcare programs like Medicare and Medicaid. Whether we agree on every policy or not, we all deserve the opportunity to ask questions, share our views, and be heard. A town hall is not about division — it’s about connection, respect, and being active participants in the decisions that affect our communities.

Experts are already concerned about the treatment visitors to the World Cup and Olympics would face in the U.S.—especially for people traveling from countries that the Trump administration has treated with open contempt. This isn’t a theoretical threat. Already, countries including Ireland, the Netherlands, Denmark, the United Kingdom, Germany, Finland, and Canada have issued travel advisories about the possibility of being detained by the Department of Homeland Security in the U. S. and have warned transgender people about the State Department’s change in policy regarding gender markers on passports.  It's not clear that the millions of people who will visit the United States over the next three years will be kept safe from the Trump administration’s draconian policies. Add your name telling the leadership of FIFA and the Olympics to put the safety of visitors and athletes first.

Why This Matters ● The continued use of this language in marketing erodes the progress made in protecting minors from exploitation. ● Research has shown that the normalization of such terms in media can perpetuate dangerous cultural attitudes toward youth and consent. ● Current laws regulate the content of pornography but fail to address the language used to advertise it, creating a loophole that allows harmful narratives to persist. ● Other industries, such as social media and advertising, have implemented stricter guidelines regarding content that sexualizes minors—the adult industry should be held to the same standard. Our Demand We call on Congress to introduce an amendment to the Child Obscenity and Pornography Prevention Act (2002) that: 1. Prohibits the use of terms that suggest underage individuals in pornography marketing and advertising. 2. Imposes penalties on adult content platforms and distributors that continue to use such exploitative language. 3. Requires stricter oversight on the marketing strategies employed by the adult entertainment industry. Protecting minors from exploitation extends beyond content regulation—it requires addressing the language and narratives that fuel dangerous cultural perceptions. By closing this legal  loophole, we take a critical step in safeguarding future generations from the normalization of predatory marketing tactics. Sign This Petition If you believe that no industry should profit from the fetishization of underage individuals, sign this petition to demand legislative action now. Together, we can hold the industry accountable and push for ethical advertising standards that no longer contribute to the normalization of child sexualization.

It is important that Montana's senators represent all Montanans. Missoula County is the second most populous county in Montana. Our newest senator has opened offices in Yellowstone, Flathead, Gallatin, Silver Bow, Cascade, and Lewis and Clark counties. Why has he not opened an office in Missoula? 

Right now, CBS News is preparing to settle Trump’s baseless $10 billion lawsuit against them. Legal experts called Trump’s lawsuit “frivolous” and “ridiculous junk” from the beginning, because there’s no evidence CBS did anything wrong. But now, CBS and its parent company Paramount are caving, preparing to cut Trump a check to win his administration’s approval on a multibillion-dollar media merger they’re trying to push through. This should set off alarm bells for every American who believes in a free press. If a major news network is willing to abandon free speech and pay off Trump to protect their bottom line, what else will they do to stay on his good side? If you agree that our media should be holding the powerful accountable – not bowing to them – join us in urging CBS/Paramount not to cave to Trump >>
