Trump’s attacks on transgender Americans are an assault on civil rights and dignity. But together, we will work toward a future in which every person is treated with equality & the humanity they deserve. Read my new report on Trump’s attacks and how we’re fighting back.
Screenshot of report cover that reads "Trans rights are human rights: fighting Trump's attacks on transgender Americans." Full text of report linked in reply.
Thank you, Stephen Colbert, for years of laughter, and speaking truth to power and never backing down. The Late Show is ending under the shadow of FCC pressure and corporate fear. The FCC’s job is to protect the public interest, not serve Trump’s interest.

Stephen Colbert is saying goodbye to 'The Late Show.' How it ends is still a secret
From apnews.com
Trump’s “weaponization fund” and ban on future IRS audits is his latest impeachable offense—using the machinery of government and billions in taxpayer dollars to reward allies, pay off insurrectionists, and shield himself, his family, and associates from accountability. Impeach now.
Trump’s planning for his reckless Iran war has been a disaster. He wanted to put former President Ahmadinejad in charge, who supports the Iran nuclear program. Then Trump tried to “free” him but injured him instead. This is not a joke. This war has been Trump’s mistake from the start. End it now.
Early War Goal Was to Install Hard-Line Former President as Iran’s Leader
An Israeli strike designed to free Mahmoud Ahmadinejad from house arrest in Tehran, U.S. officials said, was part of an effort to bring about regime change and put him in power.
Nuclear reactors in the Middle East have been attacked many times during Trump’s reckless war on Iran. Yet Trump wants to build more in Saudi Arabia, without the strongest safeguards. This is a nuclear disaster waiting to happen. We should not build nuclear plants in war zones.
My heart is with the families affected by the tragic shooting at the San Diego Islamic Center, a sacred place of worship. Anti-Muslim rhetoric is skyrocketing and it is unacceptable. No community should live in fear of violence against them because of their faith.
As electricity prices soar, Eversource is raking in record profits, and its executives are raking in seven-figure salaries and bonuses—driven directly by those excess profits. Families should not struggle to pay their bills while the CEOs take home millions.
I've already called on CEOs of the largest oil and gas companies to stop giving their CEOs bonuses for profiting off the backs of American families—that should apply to utilities as well.
As Trump dismantles lifesaving HIV prevention and treatment work around the world, we must continue fighting for the breakthroughs to help end the epidemic. This HIV Vaccine Awareness Day, we celebrate the dedicated researchers and community members who aren’t giving up on an HIV-free future.

This #HIVVaccineAwarenessDay, explore AVAC’s roadmap for advancing HIV vaccine research and development, highlighting gaps such as the need for a shared target product profile, stronger coordination, and sustained political support to accelerate progress.
The Trump administration is taking away protections against dangerous PFAS. We keep learning more about the dangers of these toxic chemicals—we shouldn’t be backsliding and letting more into our water. Families shouldn’t have to second-guess what’s coming out of their tap.
The Washington Post
EPA wants to repeal limits on ‘forever chemicals’ in drinking water
If finalized, the proposal would end the Biden-era restrictions for four toxic PFAS compounds and give utilities two more years to comply with limits on two other compounds.

You can't sue yourself. You can't settle with yourself. And you can't hijack a legitimate victim compensation fund and turn it into a taxpayer-funded payoff scheme for January 6 insurrectionists. Congress never authorized this and we won't let it stand.
Graphic of headline that reads, "Trump dismisses $10bn suit against IRS and creates $1.7bn ‘anti-weaponization’ fund." Behind the headline is a photo of Trump and reporters.
Investments in Head Start are an investment in our children, our communities, and our future. As Head Start turns 61, we celebrate one of our nation’s most visionary programs and commit to expanding Head Start so every child has the support and opportunity they need to thrive. #StandForHeadStart
