Instead of an emergency appeal—recklessly prolonging litigation—Trump should simply abandon his insidious new USPS mail ballot rule designed to disenfranchise millions of Americans. 1/

Trump is weaponizing the tax code against colleges that provide opportunities for students who have been historically excluded. We must continue to stand up against this Administration’s war on civil rights and DEI.

We owe so much to Gloria Steinem, who devoted her life to fighting for equality and women's rights. She said: "The truth will set you free, but first it will piss you off." May those words continue to guide us in the years to come. My thoughts are with all who knew and loved her.

If a Democrat made $2 billion off of their presidency while waging an illegal war that's spiking costs for families, Republicans would immediately call for impeachment. No more corruption. No more war. No more leaving families behind.

Gloria Steinem’s life was a testament to the power of conviction, courage, and the pursuit of justice. She challenged our nation to live up to its highest ideals and opened doors for generations of women to come. May her legacy continue to inspire us to keep building a more just and equal America.

The Trump administration has repeatedly sought Americans’ private data. Now CPSC wants names, addresses, birthdates, diagnoses, and other sensitive information from emergency room patients. CPSC must immediately halt this sweeping and invasive data collection.

Republicans gave the Education Department an extra $1 billion to manage federal student loans. Since then, student loan defaults have hit record highs —and the agency won't tell us how it’s spent the money. I’m pressing for answers.

Rather than making life more affordable, Trump has led a full-fledged assault on American education: defunding it, radicalizing its agenda, and dismantling it. Instead of attacking our schools he should be building them up. We'll keep fighting to ensure every child has access to a good education.

The Trump administration’s effort to strip the tax-exempt status from thousands of schools and universities is another attempt by President Trump to impose his will on academic institutions, undermining opportunities of hundreds of thousands of students across the country.

The Trump admin is taking federal agents away from investigating crimes like terrorism and sex trafficking to investigate noncitizen voting – something that’s been proven time and time again to be exceedingly rare. They aren’t making America safer.

The U.S. and Iran are exchanging fire again. The costs and risks of this war keep mounting, and we're no closer to achieving any of our goals. It's time for the administration to stop spending billions and risking American lives in a failed war.

Hungry kids can't learn. Trump & Republicans cut SNAP and gave billionaires & corporations a tax cut while throwing our kids under the bus to pay for it. This is cruelty as a policy choice.

Saddened to hear about the passing of Gloria Steinem. Gloria’s activism was unique. It focused on people, empathy and unlearning. She used the power of coalitions and togetherness to work towards equality, while elevating the voices of the marginalized. Her legacy will live on.

While working Americans struggle to afford groceries and gas, Trump is more worried about which private jet his friend will buy. He will always put his ultra-wealthy "friends" first.
