As Trump and Defense Secretary Hegseth make life-or-death decisions, independent journalism is critical to ensuring the public finds out what is actually happening. But for months, the Pentagon has shut out the press — at the very moment when we need answers most. It’s looked like Defense Secretary Hegseth banning journalists from the Pentagon’s press office, and more recently, a Pentagon spokesperson threatening to blacklist a reporter, simply for asking too many questions about Trump’s disastrous Iran war. Moves to shield the Pentagon from scrutiny and accountability would be troubling at any time. But amidst Trump’s genocidal threats against Iran at the United Nations, horrific stories of servicemembers struggling on the USS Lincoln, and as evidence mounts that the U.S. military has committed war crimes in Iran — limiting journalist access is outright dangerous. Litigation on these bans is moving forward, but we don’t need to wait for the courts to rule to make our voices heard: The Pentagon should answer to the people. Together, we’ll remind Hegseth that we don’t just deserve the truth and transparency; we demand it.

Shocking ProPublica reporting reveals a shuttered FBI investigation into hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of illegal donations to Sen. Collins’ 2020 campaign that may have directly resulted in tens of millions worth of Pentagon contracts in return. These are scandalous allegations of corruption for ANY sitting senator. The Senate Appropriations chair, tasked with negotiating the annual Pentagon budget, mired in potential criminal bribery? That’s a five-alarm fire. It burns all the hotter because FBI agents were reportedly given a “50-page document naming dozens of lobbyists, congressional staffers and members of Congress who he said helped him trade cash for contracts.” We demand to know who else is implicated, and we deserve answers. That’s why we need a Senate Ethics Committee investigation to get to the bottom of this now.

Be the change you want to see! For our kids, grandkids, and a better future!

Trump just signed off on a $2.8 billion sale of bombs to the Israeli government. And unlike a sale where another government uses its own money to buy U.S.-made weapons, the Israeli government will make this purchase via “foreign military financing.” That means it gets money — taxpayer dollars — from the U.S. government to buy U.S.-made bombs and bullets. You read that right: This sale means BILLIONS of dollars in weapons for the Netanyahu government, bought and paid for by you, the U.S. taxpayer. Rep. Gregory Meeks and Sen. Jeanne Shaheen have jumped to use their positions as ranking members of Congress’ foreign affairs committees to place a “hold” on the sale. It’s a welcome maneuver, but it’s one Trump’s blown through before. That’s why we’re already gearing up for the next phase: the Senate can BLOCK the bombs outright by passing a joint resolution of disapproval, so let’s put pressure on each and every senator to go on record in opposition today.

This is important because Comerica Park has been the home of the Detroit Tigers for more than 25 years and has become part of the team’s identity. Generations of families have made memories there, from Opening Day celebrations to playoff games and Miguel Cabrera’s historic achievements. A name change should not be decided only by corporations and sponsorship money. Tigers fans are the people who support the team year after year, so they deserve a voice and a vote before the stadium’s name is changed.

I care about this issue because I don’t think wild animals should be born into a life of captivity just so people can look at them. Southwick’s Zoo in Massachusetts for example, is home to more than 900 animals from over 160 species. Note that when you are walking around seeing extremely large animals like tigers on less than an acre of land. Knowing places like this exist makes me wonder why breeding animals for permanent captivity is considered acceptable when they have no choice in it.  I believe animals should be rescued, rehabilitated and protected especially when they are injured or unable to survive in the wild. I don’t think animals should be continuously bred simply to maintain zoo populations. There are already federal laws regulating the treatment of certain zoo animals but those laws focus on standards of care rather than completely preventing unnecessary captive breeding.  I want people to join me because these animals cannot speak up or choose where they live. If we can create stronger federal protections we can make sure that animals are being cared for because they genuinely need our help not because they were born to be displayed.

Other people should join and support this message because we as the future of the US should have a choice and say in how we want to live in the future. We can stop the destruction of the world before it progresses any further and that starts now with this petition.

This petition is important because Tyler Wilson Doyle has been missing since January 26, 2023, and his family is still searching for answers. Signing and sharing the petition helps keep Tyler’s case visible and shows that the public wants continued attention given to his disappearance. The more people who see Tyler’s face and learn his story, the greater the chance that someone with helpful information may come forward. Most importantly, it reminds Tyler’s family that their loved one has not been forgotten and that people are standing with them in their search for answers. Every signature, every share, and every voice matters. #BringTylerHome

Amazon Flex drivers should not have to face rising fuel prices and increasing vehicle expenses alone. Every driver who uses their own vehicle to deliver Amazon packages is directly affected by the cost of gasoline, maintenance, repairs, tires, insurance, and vehicle depreciation. When drivers come together, we can bring greater attention to an issue that affects the entire Flex community. One driver's voice can be overlooked, but thousands of drivers speaking together can demonstrate that this is a widespread concern. By signing this petition, you are standing with fellow independent contractors who are asking Amazon to recognize the real cost of making deliveries. Joining this campaign can help us: • Advocate for fairer Flex payouts. • Encourage Amazon to consider rising fuel and operating costs. • Support the implementation of a fuel surcharge or fuel-cost adjustment. • Bring greater awareness to the expenses Flex drivers absorb themselves. • Encourage a more sustainable compensation system for independent contractors. • Show Amazon that drivers across the Flex community want meaningful consideration of their concerns. This campaign is about collective action and making sure Flex drivers have a voice. If you are an Amazon Flex driver, or simply support independent contractors being fairly compensated for the costs of doing business, add your name, share this petition, and help bring attention to the issue. Together, we can ask Amazon to listen, acknowledge the rising cost of delivery, and work toward meaningful change.

We have lost so much - the Rose Garden, the East Wing, historic cherry trees. These things belong to ALL Americans. They are not the plaything of the elite or politicians. How much more are you willing to take? What's next? The National Cathedral? The Statue of Liberty? Join me in saying ENOUGH!

So that no child feels left behind. Every kid deserves a chance. It’s not about the coaches or the jerseys that they wear, it’s about each and every single kid on that team getting a chance. Regardless if they are good or not. This is not the NFL this is middle school football. 

Removing the lynching tree is important because we should remember Brooksville’s history without continuing to display a symbol connected to racial violence in the center of our community. We can honor the victims and educate future generations through a meaningful memorial or historical marker instead.
