Today is Yom HaShoah, a day we reflect on the tragic loss of 6 million Jewish lives in the Holocaust. The scourge of anti-Semitism is still present in society today, but we must stand united against hate in all its forms. #NeverAgain
President Trump and Republicans have said that caring about our planet is part of so-called “culture wars.” But the only fight I see is the need to protect the Earth and its environment for future generations. There are those working for the planet and those against it.
Trump's so-called “drill, baby, drill” efforts seek to expand fossil fuel extraction on federal lands and waters. We were already the largest producer of oil of any nation in history, we don’t need to add in selling out our parks to polluters. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
Trump again withdrew the US from the Paris Climate Agreement, an entirely voluntary agreement! That only removes U.S. influence on the global stage, disadvantaging our efforts to lead compared to China and the EU in the clean energy market. apnews.com/article/clim...
Circumstances have dramatically changed since then.   Today, we have a President who is gutting critical environmental and public health protections and prioritizing the profits of corporate polluters.
Happy 55th celebration of Earth Day – a reminder that the Earth is something we need to protect. When Earth Day was first celebrated, it was the result of bipartisan support for the planet. A shared vision for protecting the health and safety of our planet's future.
Trump’s plainly stupid tariff policies combined with Congressional Republicans’ so-called “one big, beautiful bill” for reconciliation is a plan to play favors for the wealthy. Billionaires will receive major tax cuts while working Americans, who’ll see their costs rise dramatically, foot the bill.
As he has previously stated himself: Any security professional ‘would be fired on the spot for this type of conduct and criminally prosecuted for being so reckless with this kind of information.’
It's a pattern of flagrant disregard for the rules and responsibilities entrusted to his office. Such repeated lapses in judgement not only disprove Hegseth’s claims of ‘100% operations security,’ but also actively put our servicemembers at home and abroad in harm’s way.
As we've seen in the weeks since reporting by @jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social first revealed Secretary Hegseth’s reckless violation of national security procedures, this was not an isolated incident nor was it a mistake.
Hegseth must resign as Secretary of Defense immediately. If he refuses, President Trump must remove him without delay. Every day he remains in office is a threat to American national security.
Secretary Hegseth has repeatedly shown blatant disregard for national security and the welfare of servicemembers who serve under his incompetent leadership. As I’ve said before, Hegseth must – at minimum – resign or be fired immediately. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/20/u...
Pope Francis embodied leadership grounded in humility. He called on us to protect our environment, to uplift the marginalized among us, and to leave this Earth better than we found it. As we grieve his loss, may his light continue to guide us toward compassion and our shared humanity.
