Anti-choice, anti-freedom MAGA Republicans will stop at nothing to enact a national abortion ban. On what would have been the 53rd anniversary of Roe v. Wade, we must recommit to making abortion legal everywhere.
The Trump administration’s political attacks on small businesses are reprehensible. I will stand up for Planned Parenthood and fight back against bogus investigations like this one.

I’m pleased to announce that today, SBA opened a review of 38 Planned Parenthood affiliates who received $88 million in PPP loans during the pandemic – much of which was forgiven by the Biden Administration.

Pandemic relief was designed to save small businesses - not fund abortion at taxpayer expense. Planned Parenthood Federation of America was never entitled to a dime of PPP - and now, every affiliate who violated the rules will be made to pay the American people back.
As DHS rapidly deploys new surveillance tools, such as facial recognition technology, the Trump administration is stonewalling my congressional oversight. Unacceptable. The public deserves answers about Trump’s surveillance state.
From housing to health care, AI is increasingly being used to make consequential decisions, diagnoses, recommendations, and predictions that can significantly alter our lives. That's why @repsummerlee.bsky.social and I are reintroducing our Eliminating Bias in Algorithmic Systems Act.

The BIAS Act was first introduced in 2023, but didn’t make it out of committee.

After one year of Trump, Americans are worse off. His attacks on clean energy & handouts to Big Oil mean: -Electric bills up 13% -Natural gas bills up 60% -165,000 clean energy jobs lost -Renewable power for 13M homes killed -30,000 lives/year at risk from gutted pollution rules
An order to our military members to invade our ally Greenland, without congressional authorization, and with no self-defense basis, would be “manifestly unlawful” under the Uniform Code of Military Justice. They must disobey it.
Screenshot of headline reading:

With Threats to Greenland, Trump Sets America on the Road to Conquest

After a century of defending other countries against foreign aggression, the United States is now positioned as an imperial power trying to seize another nation’s land.
Today we honor the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. who relentlessly fought for equal justice. And that justice is under threat right now as much as it has ever been. As Dr. King said: “The time is always right to do what is right.” So let’s fight for what’s right.
DHS wants your face in their database. No warrant. No consent. No accountability. This is what authoritarianism looks like in the digital age. It’s time to shut it down.
