The crypto industry is hoping you won't notice as they quietly push the CLARITY Act through Congress. Masquerading as "reform," this bill does nothing to stop Trump's crypto corruption or the use of crypto by criminal networks & other bad actors.
We must expose their scheme.

“The FDA has steadfastly found, over the past quarter century, that mifepristone is a safe and effective medication.” — Judge Ballou
We must keep fighting back against Republicans' efforts to do away with evidence-based science & end these attacks on healthcare for good.
Peruvian journalist, Gustavo Gorriti, exposed corruption at the highest levels in South America. Now, those he outed are trying to silence him with bogus accusations of bribery.
The new Peruvian govt should reject the report recommending criminal charges against him & allow a free press to thrive.
To downplay the toll of their war, Trump & Hegseth have resorted to manipulating the number of soldiers killed or injured.
They should be ashamed of themselves.
To protect our service members it's time to end this war.

Yet another part of Trump's effort to rig the elections. This is a blatantly illegal federal intrusion into state voting rules. It should be emphatically rejected.
Trump’s ‘Ratepayer Protection Pledge' is great PR, but it's just that: PR with zero enforcement.
If the Trump admin was serious, they would back my Power for the People Act to ensure that you don’t pay higher electricity costs to pay for data centers.
The Trump admin has restored gun licenses for a number of gun stores that were found to be selling to minors, convicted felons, & more.
Gun violence has taken too many lives in America, anyone found to be enabling it should not be let off the hook, they should face justice.
As I pointed out this week, experts at the Dept of Commerce warned Trump's deal with a UAE company compromises our national security, but Trump did it anyway as he rakes in money from the Emirati royal family.
The whole thing stinks of corruption.
They must release him immediately & unconditionally.

Today marks 3 years since anti-corruption activist & economics professor, Dr. Gubad Ibadoghlu, was arrested & detained on politically motivated charges in Azerbaijan.
Despite his deteriorating health, the Aliyev govt has denied him access to the life-saving care he needs.

For 146 days, Trump & Republicans have told us, against all evidence, that the next strike, the next week, the next month will bring victory in Iran.
That kind of logic is how forever wars begin.
When you're digging yourself into a hole, the best way out is to stop digging.
If this merger goes through, CBS, CNN, TikTok, & more will all be controlled by Trump-megadonor Larry Ellison & his son, giving Trump & the billionaire class unprecedented control over what we see.
Glad to see state attorneys general taking a stand for a free press & democracy.
It is sickening that the President would downplay the loss of 18 American soldiers killed during his ongoing Iran war & brag about how it’s not AS bad as some of the other disastrous American wars he promised he'd never repeat.
Today's hearing with Secretary Hegseth confirmed the Iran war is a war in search of a mission.
Hegseth talks a lot about 'winning,' but given multiple chances to explain what winning means, the best he could do was rehash disproven talking points.
This war must end, NOW.
Trump is using an unprecedented web of nonprofits, cultural organizations, and other groups to stash away over half a billion dollars for his corrupt policies and pet projects, donated by corporations & the ultra-rich.
This is corruption on a scale we've never seen before.
How many people must die & how high must prices go before Trump & his admin see this is a senseless war?
Tomorrow, Hegseth will have to answer for this mess. And I'm working to bring up my war powers resolution this week to put every Senator on record.
End it now.
If the Trump admin won't use US leverage, then Congress must pass mine & @sarajacobs.house.gov bill to stop US arms sales to the UAE until they cease arming the genocidal RSF.
(2/2)
The world's largest humanitarian crisis continues to unfold in Sudan & we are not powerless to stop it.
In October, the RSF slaughtered over 6,000 people in 3 days in El Fasher. Now over 500,000 civilians in El Obeid risk the same fate.
(1/2)
The State Dept insists their #1 duty abroad is to protect Americans. Yet, when it comes to getting justice for citizens killed or detained in the West Bank, there is no accountability.
I will keep pushing the Trump admin, as I did the Biden admin, to get justice for these Americans.
I’m thinking of the 2 American soldiers killed, those injured, & the 1 still missing after yesterday’s attack in Jordan. I am praying for them & their loved ones.
This senseless war should never have been started and it needs to end NOW.
