Trump gutted the National Science Foundation’s workforce. Tried to cut its budget in half—twice. Now he's fired NSF’s board without any explanation. This is Trump's anti-science, anti-innovation agenda at work. We demand answers, now.
Trump’s Golden Dome is a $1.2 trillion golden sieve that won’t stop a nuclear attack, but will balloon the deficit and boost the bottom lines of billionaires. We must not be fooled by Trump’s fool’s gold.
Trump’s proposed ‘Golden Dome’ estimated to cost $1.2 trillion, far more than he initially said
One in five Americans lost their ACA health insurance because they couldn’t afford their premiums. Trump and MAGA Republicans killed the tax credits that made coverage more affordable. Now, American families are paying the price. We must restore the tax credits before more people become uninsured.
One in Five HealthCare.gov Enrollees Dropped Insurance Coverage This Year
More Americans are dropping out of health care marketplaces than usual, after Congress let pandemic-era Affordable Care Act subsidies lapse.
The DOJ is pushing Trump’s anti-trans agenda by stripping medical care, protection from violence, and dignity from incarcerated people. I'm leading my colleagues in fighting the admin's policies and to make sure trans rights are secure.

Happy Mother’s Day Massachusetts! Today I am remembering my own mother and grateful for all the moms, grandmothers, caregivers, and mother figures who make our families and communities strong.
When FTC commissioners came before Congress last month, I called out their baseless attacks on gender‑affirming care. Now the courts have confirmed what we all know: the FTC is weaponizing its authority to go after trans kids. It’s despicable. Trans rights are human rights.
The Trump admin said they were committed to ending the opioid epidemic. Now, they’re doing the opposite by cutting access to tools, like test strips, that help prevent overdose. They must reverse course: we should use every tool at our disposal to save lives.
Graphic of headline that reads, "Lawmakers Urge Agency to Reverse Prohibition on Drug Test Strips." Full text of story linked in reply.
Shell just posted nearly $7 BILLION in profits—twice as high as the last year—thanks to Trump’s chaotic war with Iran, which has caused fuel costs to spike and given Big Oil an excuse to profit from sky-high prices. It's profiteering, and it's Trump at the pump.
Graphic of headline that reads "Shell Reports Nearly $7 Billion Profit Amid ‘Unprecedented Disruption’, The oil giant’s earnings in the first three months of the year were more than double the previous quarter’s and follow similarly strong results of European rivals." Full text linked in reply.
The Federal Censorship Commission is once again targeting broadcasters who don’t flatter Donald Trump. This time, they’re going after Disney’s broadcast licenses. I’m leading my colleagues in demanding they stop this unconstitutional attack on free speech.
