Recent ATmosphere posts, sponsorships, and cosponsorships.
Measles is spreading. Kids are dying from flu. Vaccines are in legal limbo. But Trump and RFK blew past the deadline to nominate a CDC director after pushing out the last one. Americans deserve real leadership—not chaos.
While Trump's warmongering sends prices soaring, he's forcing borrowers to pay sky-high interest on loans. Trump's loan repayment plan: throwing students to the sharks.
Students deserve a life raft, not a shove overboard.
Trump is continuing his cruel campaign of contempt against communities of color—a campaign that undermines efforts to combat historic discrimination. This is unacceptable and must end now. I will continue to hold this Administration accountable.
Trump said the illegal war in Iran would take 4 to 6 weeks. We’re already there, yet he’s asking Congress for $200 billion more—enough for 100 days—and sending ground troops.
This is not winding down. This is not a “little detour.” It’s escalation. And Trump has no idea how to end it.
Trump’s affordability crisis is crushing Main Street. Look at this new polling from Small Business Majority. The pain on Main Street must end now.
Small businesses are the backbone of our economy, but Trump’s tariff taxes are backbreaking. Since the start of Trump’s “Liberation Day,” the average small business importer paid $300,000 in tariffs. That’s unacceptable—the Trump admin must refund its illegal tariffs NOW.
Hard work should mean good, fair pay.
In Massachusetts, ending the gender pay gap would put more than $15 billion more in people’s pockets and lower poverty by 40%.
This Equal Pay Day, we fight for equal pay for equal work.
On the same day Meta was found liable for harming children in court, Trump taps Mark Zuckerburg to advise on our most pressing issues in science and technology. The Big Tech Bros will protect their profits over people and the planet—and we all know it.
Last night, Democrats tried to restore veterans’ rights to abortion counseling and care. Republicans blocked it.
Trump’s extreme ban is unacceptable and dangerous. Those who fought for our freedoms deserve for us to fight for theirs.
I’ve been calling on the Trump administration to set up a refund process since last summer. American small businesses and families need their refunds now.
AI chatbots pose new dangers to kids’ safety. But Big Tech keeps using the same playbook: prioritizing profit over privacy. Today I introduced the Youth AI Privacy Act to stop chatbots from exploiting kids' sensitive information and using manipulative design to keep them hooked.
