Andrew Harnik of Getty Images has been named the recipient of the WHCA Award for "Excellence in Presidential News Coverage by Visual Journalists" for taking THIS photo.
Put it in the Louvre.

How can PCC say it can’t afford living wages for its employees while increasing the president’s office budget by $17 million?
It’s time to chop from the top!

You’re lying. There was no attempt to run the officer over and no ICE agents appear to be hurt.
Get out of our city.
Today, ICE officers in Minneapolis were conducting targeted operations when rioters began blocking ICE officers and one of these violent rioters weaponized her vehicle, attempting to run over our law enforcement officers in an attempt to kill them—an act of domestic terrorism.
An ICE officer, fearing for his life, the lives of his fellow law enforcement and the safety of the public, fired defensive shots.
He used his training and saved his own life and that of his fellow officers.
The alleged perpetrator was hit and is deceased. The ICE officers who were hurt are expected to make full recoveries.
This is the direct consequence of constant attacks and demonization of our officers by sanctuary politicians who fuel and encourage rampant assaults on our law enforcement who are facing 1,300% increase in assaults against them and an 8,000% increase in death threats.
This is an evolving situation, and we will give the public more information as soon as it becomes available.

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.
If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

Kaiser caregivers didn’t want to be on strike—they’d rather be in hospitals, clinics and labs caring for patients. But Kaiser executives have left them no choice. @ofnhp #OneVoiceOneFightOneFuture #KaiserStrike oregonlive.com/health/2025/1…

Kaiser used to stand for excellence in healthcare. Now executives are proposing cuts that mean longer waits and shorter visits. Safe staffing means safe care.
Send a letter to Kaiser CEO Greg Adams and demand he protect our care: actionnetwork.org/letters/an…

Education at every level is under attack, and the voices of teachers and students are being suppressed. Yesterday, on the Nation Day of Action for Higher Ed, educators, students, and community groups gathered at Portland State University to rally against fascism and for education!

No cuts to Medicaid.
No cuts to food assistance.
No cuts to workers’ retirement.
Working people won’t accept a budget that hurts working people while handing out tax cuts to billionaires.
Congress must reject any deal that hurts working families.

Sue Clements, a retired nurse with decades of experience, has seen firsthand how Medicaid saves lives.
In her AFT Voices post, warns that gutting it will not only harm the vulnerable but also cripple the healthcare system and cost countless jobs. aftvoices.org/cutting-medica…

The PPA is trying to sneak into the local labor council to avoid budget cuts.

What impact will the destruction of the @usedgov have on higher education? Vital services that support students and ensure equity in education will disappear. We can fight back when we come together! Join us on 4/1: tinyurl.com/Apr1HELU

Elon is rationalizing his destroying Tesla by pretending he is doing good work with DOGE.
Yet, DOGE has back track most of its findings because they were exaggerated or completely false.
DOGE is the ultimate example of government waste, fraud and abuse.

Instead of protecting Tesla shareholders, he's acting like an angry toddler on the internet. This behavior wouldn't even fly in our classrooms so it shouldn’t fly for billionaires running our government. xitter.cf/elonmusk/status/190161…

The world's richest person is targeting me & other teachers because we are fighting for vital fed’l ed programs that help families & students. They attack because they want tax cuts for the rich. Stop taking money from poor kids & kids with disabilities. xitter.cf/elonmusk/status/190161…

In New York City’s chaotic mayoral race, Zohran Mamdani’s campaign has entered the void — rekindling the energy of the Bernie moment and creating an opportunity to build DSA and a working class social base. socialistcall.com/2025/03/14…
