At a time of immense technological change, Trump's attacks on research funding have forced countless projects to be paused or halted entirely.
How many more cures & advancements will the American people miss out on because of Trump's bogus political vendettas? We may never know.
Since his first admin, Trump has been trying to stop our efforts to put Harriet Tubman on the $20 bill.
Tubman is an American hero — a giant of our history — who singlehandedly freed hundreds of enslaved people.
I won’t stop fighting to honor her with this deserved recognition.
One thing is clear: it's time to end this disastrous war NOW.
Instead, in the past 24 hours, Trump ordered more strikes & threatened to "finish the job,” endangering efforts to end the war for good.
It's time to stop this war permanently, not restart it.
🚨 Nearly 1 million people who invested in Trump's crypto coin have lost a combined $3.8 BILLION so far.
But while they lost money, Trump made millions. In 2025 alone, he raked in $636 MILLION from his crypto coin.
Scamming people to pad his profits, that's the story of Trump's presidency.
Palestinian pediatrician, Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, has spent 18 months in Israeli prisons without trial or charge. His lawyer reports his life is in immediate danger, following torture and poor treatment in prison.
He must be released immediately.
Trump continues to use his pardon power as a 'Get Out of Jail Free' card for his political allies.
From Jan. 6 rioters who attacked police to financial fraudsters to polluters — it seems there’s no crime he won't pardon.
He's making a complete mockery of our justice system.
NATO was founded as an alliance of both security & democratic values. Hosting this summit in Turkey while ignoring Erdogan's daily attacks on freedom and the rule of law isn't diplomacy, it's complicity.
We must not be silent. We should call out Erdogan's abuses.
1 year ago today, Trump & Republicans passed their “Big, Beautiful Bill” — stripping healthcare & food assistance from millions, all to give billionaires & corporations a tax cut.
We will keep fighting to undo this monstrosity.
Today, on the 250th anniversary of America’s independence, I'm thinking of the words of Maryland's own Thurgood Marshall, “This is your democracy. Make it. Protect it. Pass it on."
For 250 years, Americans have answered that call & at this pivotal moment, I know we will again.
Even on our 250 birthday, a day of national celebration, Trump can't help but make it about himself & his petty vendettas.
What Trump doesn't understand is America's greatness has never & will never come from one person, it comes from the American people.

Not enough people are paying attention to this. The UAE is fueling the civil war in Sudan, arming the RSF who the Trump admin admits is committing a genocide. And yet, this admin refuses to hold them accountable.
We should be asking why.

Students with disabilities are students first. For 50 years, the Dept of Education has been tasked with ensuring students with disabilities have the opportunity to learn & grow.
The Trump admin's decision to move that responsibility to HHS & DOJ will only hurt these students. It's shameful.
Last Sept, Trump & Lutnick leaned on the Kazakh president to get mining rights for a startup called Kaz Resources. Around the same time, their sons were investing & working a deal.
Now the admin may give Kaz up to $1.6 BILLION in govt loans, directly helping their investment.
Endless corruption.
🚨 Trump’s most recent financial disclosure shows he’s made $1.4 BILLION from his family’s crypto businesses.
In May, I offered an amendment to end Trump's crypto scam & ensure no president or Congressperson could profit off this kind of self-dealing.
Republicans blocked it ⬇️
At least 3 MILLION people have lost health insurance thanks to Trump & Republicans' refusal to extend ACA tax credits & that's before factoring in their $1 TRILLION Medicaid cut.
We need a system that is not vulnerable to this kind of ongoing sabotage.
We need Medicare for All.
Today, SCOTUS reinforced the rot and corruption at the heart of our political system. Billionaires and corporations will have even freer rein to try to buy candidates of their choice.
We must overturn Citizens United, end dark money and fundamentally change our campaign finance system.
To Trump, rigging the midterms is more important than helping end our housing crisis.
While millions can barely afford to make rent, let alone own a home, Trump still refuses to sign our bipartisan housing bill to help address this crisis.
Tells you what you need to know.
It’s time that American workers get their fair share of the wealth they create for billionaires.
Today, SCOTUS green-lit another expansion of Trump's power, letting him fire an FTC commissioner who dares disagree with him.
This decision threatens to let Trump stack agencies with cronies who'll serve his billionaire buddies at the expense of the people.
We must fight back.
