wtf is a FIFA peace prize? that's like being an NFL laureate in physics

CAP's statement in response to ACIP's dangerous and unconscionable vote to end recommendations for HepB vaccines for newborns, reversing efforts to protect them from the risk of infection, illness, and death. www.americanprogress.org/press/statem...

The process was riddled with inaccuracies, falsehoods, and confusion. The outcome threatens babies and reverses decades of progress in preventing hepatitis B infection, illness, and death. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/05/h...

Its always good to see charity, but this donation to children will be much less impactful than it could be 🧵 The problem lies in the faulty design of “Trump Accounts” 1/6

@khanna.house.gov on the economic possibility of universal childcare: "If we could do it in 1945, we can certainly do it in 2025."

Latest from @haileygibbs.bsky.social about the ways that Head Start programs support youth mental health! www.americanprogress.org/article/head...

The youth mental health crisis in the US is rising, & it impacts kids as young as infancy. As the OBBBA is implemented, that crisis will worsen. Programs like #HeadStart can help mitigate families' struggles through its wraparound supports. To learn more: www.americanprogress.org/article/head...

#HeadStart is an effective model for supporting the mental health needs of children and their families because of its multigenerational approach. Rd more about how this program helps address the youth mental health crisis. @haileygibbs.bsky.social www.americanprogress.org/article/head...

Heading to LA for #BUILD25? Don’t miss my session with @kcpeeks.bsky.social, on re-envisioning a universal B-5 system amid unprecedented attacks on children and families. Let’s get to the heart of building strong systems that work for everyone. Register here: build2025.vfairs.com #BUILD25

New reporting shows there are lots of unanswered questions about the actual operational hurdles involved in breaking up Dept. of Ed (ED) programs to different agencies, a move the admin announced this week. www.govexec.com/management/2...

First Jobs Day since the shutdown, and @saraestep.bsky.social and I are here with the latest analysis of today's data and how job seekers are struggling in Trump's economy. ⬇️ www.americanprogress.org/article/in-a...

This year marks the 50th anniversary of IDEA—a landmark law that ensured millions of disabled students would receive quality education. Yet, that promised education is at risk today with a federal funding gap of over $38 billion.

“When I win, I will immediately bring prices down, starting on Day One"

NYC Mayor-Elect Mamdani speaks to the city-wide impact of the Trump administration's cuts to SNAP.

The Trump administration has made it clear: it wants to take food away from hungry families—it'll even go to court over it.

🚨🚨🚨 The jury has reached a verdict. Sean Dunn, aka the DC Sandwich Guy, has been found NOT GUILTY of assault.

The Trump administration's failure to fund SNAP benefits will have devastating impacts on families' budgets and local economies. SNAP supports households getting food on tables, generates 100,000s of jobs, and every dollar returns $1.50 to the local economy. www.americanprogress.org/article/snap...

AMAZING to see @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social run & win on universal #childcare the same week NM began implementing the 1st statewide universal child care program. The future of child care in America is universal, comprehensive, & it meets families where they are. Excited to see where we go from here.

"Layoffs, budget cuts, and policy changes are all a part of the Trump administration’s direct attacks on disabled students and children and will cause long-term negative impacts." www.americanprogress.org/article/the-...

Federal judge has to tell the President he can't starve his own citizens to arm twist opposition party into gutting health care access for same citizens www.cnbc.com/2025/10/31/s...

corporatism is BAAAD

"More babies live in poverty than any other age group." Looking at the 11/1 food assistance cliff, rising health care premiums, massive cuts to Medicaid, & uncertainty for Head Start programs nationwide, that number is only bound to grow. Inaction is acceptance. www.zerotothree.org/resource/ear...

Fantastic article by Harold Meyerson in @prospect.org on Montana’s “ingenious ballot measure” to negate the consequences of Citizens United. As far as I know, this is the first time Dashiell Hammett has been invoked in any discussion of The Montana Plan.

As American families struggle with rising costs, President Trump and members of his family are raking in millions of dollars—and the number is only growing. Check out our new tracker to see how Trump is using the office of the presidency to his financial benefit: https://ampr.gs/47nd5eE

why, when the destruction of our most sacrosanct democratic tenets is objectively the bigger problem, does this make me so fucking sad?

Climate change is here. To support the early ed sector & protect children from the climate crisis, we must: 🏛️Promote state & local action 💲Invest in the early ed workforce 🗣️Develop comms tools to disseminate info 🍼Prioritize recovery efforts around children www.americanprogress.org/article/chil...

Millions of people across the country took to the streets in No Kings protests on Saturday—are you part of the 3.5% that will demand change?

You can see pretty clearly in this chart why the "K-shaped recovery" narrative was nonsense prior to roughly this year but is now very real.

SNAP benefits for 42 million Americans will not go out as planned November 1 if the shutdown continues.

American cities under attack. Health care premiums are tripling. Veteran families are at risk of foreclosure. Grocery prices are skyrocketing. Adelita Grijalva has not been sworn in. The Epstein files are not yet released.

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

is this an antifa? #NoKings

“The world is held together, it really is held together, by the love and the passion of a very few* people.” — James Baldwin *few = an estimated 200k in DC alone #NoKings

Republicans in Congress had multiple chances this year to keep your premiums low—and they said NO every single time.

heartbroken to learn the pope sympathizes with the poor. how can i continue to believe in god

This is just the latest instance in which the Trump admin has used the shutdown to pause or strip money from Democratic-led cities and states. Before today, we counted about $28 billion in halted federal funds (and will be updating as we learn more) www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

State troopers in riot gear just plowed into the crowd, started arresting protesters and clergy.

racist young Republicans post racist comments in chat thread which they point out, in a rare moment of self-reflection and with what can only be described as truly poetic eloquence, “if this leaked, we’d be cooked fr fr”

correlation does not equal causation, but like -

cool cool cool cool

yeah, no, agree - I think they actually care deeply what people think of them. it's why they're so offended by being called weird losers.

The firing of federal workers is an unlawful abuse of power by the Trump administration—and a scare tactic to keep Democratic lawmakers from protecting Americans' health care. @gbedekovics.bsky.social explains:

how can you not be romantic about inflatable costume protest

These are the people up in arms about being called “a basket of deplorables.”

There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education. America’s children deserve better than this.

I love this image.

“I’ll declare war if you don’t give me a Nobel peace prize” is an absolutely WILD take

Trump and RFK Jr. aren't making America healthy again—in fact, they're making our nation's health care worse. @cmkelly.bsky.social explains how the administration is undermining its own MAHA agenda:

Two points: 1) for all the talk of restoring merit, in many cases we are seeing highly qualified people replaced by less qualified White people. 2) Trump and allies have made it harder and harder to explain to students why this is happening. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/08/u...
