A constituent called me to tell me about their son battling colon cancer. They're at the point where they need to start clinical trials, but none are available because of Donald Trump's cuts to NIH. The heartbreaking reality is that my Republican colleagues fear Trump more than they fear cancer.

My office is committed to continuing to work with federal agencies to solve constituent inquiries. To see how we can assist you, visit my website: casten.house.gov/services/hel...

If you want to lower energy costs for Americans, you must first understand the US energy system. You can't do that without the robust, accurate data the EIA provides. The Trump Administration's haphazard dismantling of the EIA will hurt our ability to increase access to cheap, reliable energy.

Over 100 employees leave US EIA, putting crucial energy data at risk, sources say

The U.S. government's energy statistics arm is set to lose over 100 employees after the Trump administration's latest round of resignation offers, putting at risk some of the most closely watched energy reports globally, three sources told Reuters.

I led 39 House Democrats in a letter to Department of Education Secretary Linda McMahon demanding DOE immediately restore the shuttered Office for Civil Rights hubs and fulfill its statutory civil rights mandate. These cuts will make our schools less safe for vulnerable students across the country.
