BREAKING: Trump and the GOP’s Big Beautiful Bill will leave 16 MILLION uninsured.
By revoking EMTALA guidance, Donald Trump thinks he knows how to treat patients better than doctors. He doesn’t. People will die, and it will all be for Republicans’ fight for a national abortion ban.
Republican cuts to Medicaid, Medicare, and the Affordable Care Act would cause 51,000 people to die per year. Every Republican who votes yes to cutting health care is telling you how many lives they’re willing to sacrifice for billionaire tax breaks.
A majority of voters support the pollution reduction and clean energy investments in the Inflation Reduction Act, which are already at work bringing down energy costs, keeping families healthy, and creating jobs. Republicans are trying to destroy it all.
It’s TACO Tuesday and Trump is demanding countries’ best trade deal offers ahead of next month’s tariff deadline. But investors and trade partners alike already know Trump Always Chickens Out.
Sending love and healing energy to my friend Dr. Opal Lee during her hospitalization. As we gear up to celebrate Juneteenth this year, I continue to be inspired by her dedication and was honored to work closely with her in the fight to recognize Juneteenth as a national holiday.
Trump's FEMA chief is incompetent. People will die.
Marcelo Gomes should’ve been at Milford High’s graduation—not sitting in an ICE detention center.
This isn’t public safety. It’s cruelty. It’s about instilling fear into our communities.
I join the Milford community in demanding the Trump admin and ICE free Marcelo.
RFK Jr.’s so-called “Make America Healthy Again” report is riddled with inaccuracies and phantom research. It dismisses proven science, downplays real public health threats, and spreads dangerous misinformation. This isn’t a health agenda—it’s a Make America Sick Agenda.
Arresting kids on their way to volleyball practice is a new low, even for this Administration.

I am horrified by the heinous attack on community members who gather weekly to advocate for the release of October 7th hostages. No one should fear for their safety when speaking out against injustice. We must denounce and root out antisemitic violence like this at every turn.
The Westover, Grafton, and Shriver Job Corps centers are gateways to opportunity for young people eager to earn their degree, learn critical skills, and enter the workforce. But the Trump administration is slamming the gate shut. The Admin must reverse its shortsighted decision.
Trump’s Dept of @ENERGY is rubberstamping LNG exports that drive up energy prices, pollute and make communities sick, and destroy our chance at a livable future. We’re already the world’s largest exporter of LNG. We don't need more dirty energy.
Trump’s cut of $50 million in climate resilience funding for Chelsea and Everett is climate injustice, plain and simple.
This week, I walked the site where that money would build flood barriers to protect our frontline communities. We won’t stop fighting to restore it.
The House’s 10-year ban on state AI regulation would wreak havoc on our country. The language is so broad that it could upend everything from state privacy law to contract law. It could even break the internet. I will do everything in my power to stop it. www.techpolicy.press/the-big-beau...
A $45 million parade for Trump’s birthday? This is an outrageous waste of money, at a time Trump is cutting health care and education. Only dictators use the military to promote themselves. This is Trump’s “I wanna be Putin” parade, and it’s gross.

Last night, Main Street won a victory in court to liberate itself from Trump’s reckless tariffs. But the Trump admin is fighting to keep using small businesses as pawns in it’s trade war. Congress must end Trump’s abusive tariff authority and stop this economic whiplash.
MUSK: OUT
TARIFFS: BLOCKED
SMALL BUSINESSES: RELIEVED
The court’s decision provides much needed relief for Main Street. But rather than wait for an appeals process to play out, Congress should terminate this illegal emergency authority once and for all.
