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.

Trump says higher gas prices are a “small price to pay” for his reckless, illegal war. Tell that to Americans paying $20+ more per fill-up—which will cost drivers over $730 more per year on average. That’s not small.

Trump on high gas prices for Americans: "What's happening is people are learning to buy oil from the United States. They're making the trip. Oil is at $102. That's a very small price to pay for getting rid of a nuclear weapon from people that are really mentally deranged."
Nurses are the backbone of our health care system. This National Nurses Week, we honor the more than 5 million who show up for us every day. I’m fighting for more funding for recruitment and training, fair pay, and protecting the right to organize. Let’s have their backs. youtube.com/shorts/4SZNf...
The CDC quietly stopped helping states test for infectious diseases like rabies. RFK Jr. is gutting critical public health services and making our country less safe. I'm calling on him to answer for his dangerous choices.
