Colbert called out Paramount's $16 million Trump settlement—his show was cancelled just days later. I sent a letter to Paramount demanding answers.

Trump's cruelty knows no bounds. This is a violation of basic human dignity.
Republicans are kicking 17 million people off their health insurance. RFK Jr. has fired scientists who keep us safe. But don't worry— RFK and his lackeys are helping billionaires get a tax break on their $9000 saunas.
Contraception is health care—and it’s under threat. If states like Virginia can’t guarantee the right to birth control, Congress must. We need federal protections to expand access, stop refusals, and ensure coverage. @reprorisingva.bsky.social

When states step up to protect contraception access, they save lives—but they can’t do it alone. Trump’s attacks are creating a patchwork of care, confusion, and crisis. Congress must act now and pass the Right to Contraception Act. @reproequitynow.bsky.social

President & CEO Nicole Clegg of @ppnnehealth.bsky.social made it clear: Defunding them puts lives at risk. Republicans’ Big Ugly Bill risks closing 200 clinics over 24 states, putting more than a million patients’ health at risk.
We must protect our reproductive freedom. youtube.com/shorts/ah4bM...
Lucie Arvallo from @janesdueprocess.bsky.social reminded us this week: access to contraception is about equity and dignity.
This isn’t just a right—it’s a lifeline. When we force teens to navigate parental consent laws or misinformation, we don’t protect them—we endanger them.
Dr. Wilkinson said it best: contraception is health care.
Republican attacks and misinformation put contraception access at risk. We must protect the right to reproductive autonomy, rooted in science—not stigma.

Paraeducators are essential for every school and every community. I am proud to reintroduce my PARA Educators Act to improve wages and working conditions and fund professional development opportunities for paraeducators. We should invest in them what they invest in our students.
Science tells the truth, Donald Trump lies. Firing EPA scientists will mean more pollution, higher energy costs, more cancer, and more lies from Lee Zeldin. EPA scientists protect us from toxics and illness and dirty air and water. Stand up for them because they stand up for you.
Automakers have cried wolf for decades—fighting seatbelts, airbags, and now automatic emergency braking. But safety shouldn’t be optional. It could save your family’s life. I won’t let corporate greed roll back life-saving protections.

To our LGBTQ+ youth: you are not alone. Please know that you still have resources available to help you.

Republicans who supported public broadcasting for years voted for $1 billion in cuts for one reason: Donald Trump. America's kids, communities, and families deserve better.
He should be arrested.
He won’t stop with immigrants. He will come for everyone’s data.
