Trump knows that his failed policies won't win in 2026, so he wants to steal the election. This EO is flatly unconstitutional and illegal. I tried passing a resolution denouncing Trump's efforts to nationalize elections but Republicans blocked it. We must protect our elections.
Trump signs order exerting federal control on mail-in ballots
Trump has suggested for months that the federal government could nationalize the voting process, generating bipartisan pushback.

My investigation into autonomous vehicle companies’ use remote assistance operators exposed a lack of transparency and serious safety gaps. Now I’m calling on federal authorities to investigate.
Another important victory for the First Amendment against Trump’s unconstitutional censorship. I have always fought to protect public media and the free press. You don’t get to punish speech you don’t like.

Citing First Amendment, federal judge blocks Trump order to end funding for NPR and PBS
Not only is the Pentagon sending American troops into a reckless, illegal war that is costing families at home in energy costs, but it is also stalling routine wind reviews that would bring on much-needed energy to lower those costs. The war on Iran and the attacks on clean energy must end.

On Trans Day of Visibility, we are reminded just what is at stake. So-called “conversion therapy” is dangerous and has no place in our society. I will continue to stand for affirming and supportive care. No one can erase LGBTQ+ people.
New York Times
Justices Reject Colorado Law Banning ‘Conversion Therapy’ for L.G.B.T.Q. Minors
The state and more than 20 others restrict therapists from trying to change the gender identity or sexual orientation of clients under the age of 18.
Trump is giving $1 billion of your money to a French energy company to prevent it from bringing low-cost clean power to the East Coast. While your energy bills go up, Trump is making you pay to stop the solutions. I'm demanding answers and for our money back with @ocasio-cortez.house.gov.
Trump promised to cut costs. Instead, he’s illegally sent us to another war in the Middle East, causing gas prices to spike. The costs to human life, to our servicemembers, and to the pockets of everyday people are not worth it. We need to end this war. Now.
New York Times
Average Gasoline Price Hits $4 in U.S., a ‘Headache’ for Drivers and Trump
A month since the first U.S.-Israeli attacks and Iran’s response effectively shut off Persian Gulf oil, drivers are paying significantly more to fill up.
Your postage costs are going up, thanks to the Trump-induced spike of gasoline prices. Trump is trying to crush our ability to purchase and use electric vehicles—including at USPS—which could help protect against rising gas costs. Trump is making us pay at the pump and the post.

America’s small businesses and families need their money back. They don’t have teams of lawyers to figure out a complicated tariff tax refund process. Trump must immediately—and automatically—refund small businesses and families the tariff taxes they are rightfully owed.

Lawmakers Are Worried Small Businesses Will Get Left Behind in Trump’s Tariff Refund System
Small businesses must navigate the federal tariff refund system to get the money they paid in emergency tariffs back.
For six years, I have been sounding the alarm on Clearview AI. Now, a grandmother was jailed for over 5 months for crimes in a state she’s never visited. This technology is biased, inaccurate, and unreliable. It destroys lives.
Police used AI facial recognition to arrest a Tennessee woman for crimes committed in a state she says she’s never visited
