If you actually want to fight antisemitism on college campuses, you should support the work done at the Department of Education Office for Civil Rights—and you should be outraged that Trump & Elon are taking an axe to the team on the frontlines of stopping hatred & discrimination on campus.
🚨 In case you missed it: Republicans voted to allow banks to charge you MORE if you overdraft on your account—repealing a rule that capped fees at $5. Just another way Republicans are actively trying to screw over working people & hope you don’t notice.
"It feels like I'm on the last lifeboat off a sinking ship." Laura has worked at the Social Security Administration for 30+ years helping people get the benefits they’ve earned. She's leaving because Trump & Elon's attacks on SSA are making it impossible to do her job.
The two billionaires running our country straight into the ground seem to have skipped American history because our Constitution is clear: Congress has the power of the purse. Presidents don't write laws—they execute them.
Trump is carving out a foreign policy legacy of diminished U.S. leadership, abandoned allies, starving children, and spreading diseases. History will never forget if he succeeds. Trump is not just turning America away from the world—he is turning the world away from America.
Blocking aid for disaster victims to scrutinize whether recipients of that aid align with your political views is reprehensible.   Disaster relief funding isn’t a piggy bank for Elon—President Trump needs to get these taxpayer dollars to the communities that need them immediately.
The officials who shared classified information in a group chat broke protocol and put our servicemembers' lives in danger. Hegseth and Waltz should RESIGN—and EVERYONE involved must be held accountable. I'm demanding a thorough investigation from the Inspectors General.
The work HHS does—or in this case stops doing—has life and death consequences. It is not some political game. I will keep sounding the alarm about Trump & RFK Jr.'s real threat to our families.
Not only is Trump still championing the violent insurrectionists who attacked our Capitol Police—but just this week, President Trump speculated about compensating people who committed crimes on January 6th with YOUR taxpayer dollars!
You’ll have to excuse me if I don’t take Republicans seriously when they make this big show about law and order in defense of Tesla when, at the same time, they are letting Trump stab law enforcement in the back—pardoning violent criminals who assaulted police officers.
It doesn't take a genius to understand that pushing out 20,000 health workers won’t make Americans healthier. The next time we are underprepared for a deadly pandemic, remember it was thanks to the Measles President, Donald Trump, who decided to hollow out our health agencies.
Breaking news: The Department of Health and Human Services is cutting nearly a quarter of its workforce and consolidating several of its departments, Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced Thursday.
Yes, the information in the Signal group chat was classified. Yes, this could have put our servicemembers in harm’s way. No, Hegseth and Waltz have not learned their lesson. And no, they are not capable of continuing to serve in their roles. They need to RESIGN.
Public pressure works—yes even on the Trump administration. We need to get them to scrap this awful policy altogether. Seniors deserve to be able to talk to a REAL PERSON over the phone to get the benefits they're entitled to. Let's keep fighting to protect Social Security!
BREAKING: The Social Security Administration said it would postpone controversial changes to phone service and partially relax new rules on identity verification
Trump & Musk are tossing life-saving research into the shredder—and the consequences will be devastating for treatment for childhood cancers, a cure for Alzheimer's, and so much more. Does cutting off cancer research make sense to anyone?
Today I spoke with Laura who's worked at Social Security for 30+ years to help people get their hard-earned benefits—but she's leaving because of the nonstop attacks on the Social Security workforce by Musk. By driving out people like Laura, Elon is breaking Social Security.
@emd.wa.gov does essential work to keep the people of WA state safe when disaster strikes. I met with the Director to hear firsthand how Trump's illegal freeze on federal funding is undermining the agency's critical work.
Senator Murray is on the right, sitting at the end of a rectangle wood table with her arms crossed. She's looking to her left at a man who is sitting with his side and back to the camera.
Secretary Hegseth put classified military plans into an unsecured group chat with a random journalist, putting the lives of our servicemembers at risk, & then he LIED about it. Pete Hegseth must RESIGN. Michael Waltz must RESIGN. They cannot be trusted to keep America safe.
