Navajo Marine Ira Hayes helped raise the American flag over Iwo Jima in WW2.
Today Trump had him removed from military websites because his bravery in action is considered “DEI.”
Trump never served. Ira Hayes was a hero. Agree?

Incredible moment when Israel's occupation, Israel's apartheid, and Israel's destruction of Gaza are called out at the Oscars!

Tonight's partisan budget is nothing more than a giveaway to billionaires and big corporations at the expense of hard working Kansans. I voted NO.
It guts Medicaid, spikes health care costs, and makes groceries more expensive for families — all while adding trillions to the national debt.
Kansans deserve a budget, agreed upon by both Republicans and Democrats, that lowers their costs and invests in our economy, not one that forces them to pay more so the ultra-wealthy can get another handout.
