Two months into 2026, the U.S. has almost half as many measles cases as all of last year. Meanwhile, RFK Jr. and his Surgeon General pick refuse to endorse vaccines. Tell the truth: measles vaccines are the best way to protect your family from this deadly disease.

Instead of protecting our food and farmworkers from harmful chemicals like glyphosate, Trump is shielding chemical companies from accountability and pushing more pesticides into our food. Americans deserve a Surgeon General who will stand up for their health, not chemical wealth.

The Trump administration has failed to provide proper medical care to detained immigrants. Now, it is moving all unaccompanied children who are pregnant to Texas, where abortion is banned. Blocking girls as young as 13 from critical reproductive care is cruel, unsafe, and unjust.

Trump continues his war on working people. Attacking IRS workers in the middle of tax season is illegal and reckless. Trump’s top priority isn’t making taxes more fair—it’s letting billionaires off the hook and avoid accountability.
Workforce IRS, Fiscal Service defy judges, terminate union contracts The move to ax collective bargaining agreements with the National Treasury Employees Union, until now protected by a federal court order, comes just two weeks after the Office of Personnel Management issued guidance seemingly encouraging agencies to ignore the courts.

BLOCKED: A federal judge has ruled that lawmakers must be able to conduct congressional oversight of ICE detention facilities without being barred. We will not allow Kristi Noem to operate behind closed doors as ICE thugs kidnap immigrants from our communities.
Graphic of headline that reads, "Judge restores lawmakers’ unfettered access to ICE detention facilities. It was U.S. District Judge Jia Cobb's third time blocking or limiting DHS's efforts to prevent unannounced lawmaker visits." Full text of story linked in reply.

ICE officers have lied again--this time to enter a school dorm and arrest a college student. ICE is a corrupt and violent agency that needs to be abolished. Students deserve to feel safe at their schools and college campuses.

Trump’s delay tactics are downright illegal, and the courts agree. No more delays. Trump must pay back America’s small businesses, consumers, and working families for the billions of dollars his tariff taxes took from them.

Trump is raising prices at home while razing countries abroad. In addition to untold casualties, Trump's illegal war with Iran will lead to skyrocketing oil prices, and we know the Big Oil vultures are already circulating. We can't let Trump drag us into another endless war.

We had a deal with Iran to ensure limits on its nuclear capacities. Trump ended that deal. Now he says that sending our young people off to fight and potentially lose their lives for this country is just a ‘cost of war.’ This is the cost of his broken promises. No war with Iran.

🚨 Donald Trump after launching war on Iran: The lives of American heroes may be lost, and we may have casualties. That often happens in war.
