Erasing Harvey Milk’s name is disgusting, blatant discrimination—and during Pride Month to boot. He served the U.S. Navy and his country honorably, and he was assassinated while serving the public and fighting for LGBTQ+ rights. Hegseth should be ashamed of himself and reverse this immediately.
A headline by Military.com reads: "Hegseth Orders Navy to Strip Name of Gay Rights Icon Harvey Milk from Ship"

Steve Witkoff must testify before Congress Is there a secret side-deal that will allow Iran to continue enriching uranium and empowers Iran's nefarious activity or not? Any deal between the U.S. and Iran must be one that Congress can fully evaluate

Trump and Republicans want to talk fraud? Fine. The fraud we actually see in healthcare doesn't come from working families, it comes from the top Case in point: Trump just pardoned a nursing home executive who skimmed $10M from the paychecks of his employees.
A headline from New York Times reads: Trump Pardoned Tax Cheat After Mother Attended $1 Million Dinner.

Trump is lying to Americans when he says no one will lose coverage under his so-called "Big, Beautiful Bill" FACTS: —Under this bill, 20 million Americans will see health costs go up —14 million Americans will lose coverage entirely Democrats will stand together against it
Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.govJun 2(source)
The Republican plan is quite simple: Sell out working and middle class Americans to line the pockets of the rich. Democrats will fight this bill in Committee, on the Senate floor, and in the court of public opinion, every step of the way.
Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.govJun 2(source)
Trump and Republicans want to jam through their “One Ugly Bill.” One of the most destructive and shamelessly self-serving pieces of legislation in modern US history. Senate Dems will use every tool at our disposal in the battle against it, and we will enlist American families to join this fight.

Today, we kick off Pride Month. 🏳️‍🌈 This Pride, we know that LGBTQ+ rights are under attack, and we’ll never stop fighting for LGBTQ+ Americans.

Here’s how I’m standing with clean energy workers to open up a new front in the fight against the disastrous Trump-Republican so-called “Big, Beautiful Bill”:

I stood together with clean energy workers at the largest rooftop solar array in Manhattan to work together to fight the Trump-Republican job-killing, cost-raising bill they wrote to bow to Big Oil billionaires.

This is Patty from Staten Island. And you have to hear Patty’s story about how New York Republicans cutting SNAP would mean choosing between paying the bills and buying food.
Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.govMay 29(source)
We’re standing together today in New York because Democrats delivered clean energy tax credits to help families and small business cut energy costs. And we need every to tell the Republican Senators that Trump’s so-called ‘big, beautiful bill’ would raise prices.
