There have been more American measles cases in the past two years than from every year from 2000 to 2024… combined. This administration’s MAHA policies are making our kids sicker and less safe.

When a public safety officer is killed or permanently injured in the line of duty, their family needs immediate, unwavering support — not administrative delays. I’m fighting for changes to the Public Safety Officers’ Benefits Program to make sure claims are processed reliably and quickly.

When this regime puts its thumb on the scale in favor of fossil fuels over more affordable renewable energy sources, it's Americans who are left to pay the higher electricity and gas prices, while massive profits go directly into the pockets of big oil companies.

Trump bought at least $1 million of Dell stock in February. Since then, he's repeatedly told Americans to buy Dell products. No wonder he has pocketed $2.3 billion off the presidency. The grift never stops.

I demand that ACHP work with Tribes to preserve and improve the consultation process, not disregard the federal government's critical responsibilities to Tribal Nations.
- MB
No longer requiring the federal government to meaningfully engage in Tribal consultation before projects go forward will not only irreversibly impact our history – it puts Tribal sovereignty, and Tribes’ ability to engage in government-to-government consultation, at risk.
- MB
I am outraged to see the new regulations proposed by the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP) that threaten to eliminate Tribal consultation as we know it.

There is one effective way to reduce the spread and severity of measles: Vaccination. And RFK Jr. has undermined it at every turn. He is a hazard to our health and must resign.

DOGE and the Trump administration pushed 7,800 workers out of Social Security. Now it's scrambling to hire people back as seniors face longer waits for fewer appointments. What did Trump and DOGE accomplish besides making it harder for people to get the benefits they earned?

Did you know that 1 in 3 kids are underinsured? This means about 23 million kids' healthcare is unable to meet their needs. MediKids solves this problem by guaranteeing comprehensive healthcare for EVERY child. It’s a no-brainer.

As I pointed out this week, experts at the Dept of Commerce warned Trump's deal with a UAE company compromises our national security, but Trump did it anyway as he rakes in money from the Emirati royal family. The whole thing stinks of corruption.

It’s official: Having Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as Secretary of Health and Human Services has made a record number of children sick and sent to the hospital. His tenure is a complete and total failure, and in any normal Administration he would have been fired long ago. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/24/w...

Dirty trick for the last two: Trump’s big fossil fuel donors make billions extra — from international fuel prices going up more than domestic production costs, and from getting to run expensive fossil fuel units clean energy would have idled.
- SW
3. Trump’s reckless war on clean energy raises your electricity costs. Clean energy is usually the lowest-cost energy on the grid; when it’s stalled, grids go to higher-priced fossil fuel units, raising costs for every electron on the grid. You pay more.

2. Trump’s reckless war on Iran raises fuel and fertilizer costs for American businesses, families and farmers. He can’t figure out how to get out of what he recklessly started. You pay more because of Trump’s ongoing war.

1. Trump’s reckless massive tariffs raise costs for American businesses and consumers. If that weren’t true, why are they rebating the illegal tariffs to American businesses? It’s obvious: We’re paying for Trump’s tariffs.

As Americans struggle with cost increases in a full cost-of-living crisis, here are three of the ways the Trump administration is raising your costs:

Scrubbing fallen service members from official records to hide the true cost of the war in Iran is a disgraceful betrayal of our troops. This administration’s attempt to erase their sacrifice for political cover will not stand.

Safety in our communities is paramount but policing US citizens has always been the job of law enforcement, not DOD. The Nat'l Guard deployment in DC is burning readiness, morale & taxpayer dollars on missions that don't belong to the military. Worse, it's eroding public trust our Armed Forces need.

Trump has made billions while in office and wants you to believe there's nothing wrong with it. He’s making himself and other billionaires richer while jacking up prices for everyone else. Being President is supposed to mean serving your country — not cashing in on it.

Trump wants to spend $1.5 TRILLION on war, and is asking for $70 BILLION on top of that, all while his sons are profiting from major defense contracts. Are we investing in national security? Or are we investing in the Trump family’s portfolio?

And they wanted to know that no family or community would ever be forced to endure a tragedy like this, at the hands of a federal secret police force, again. Today, our fight is far from over. The questions raised by Alex Pretti’s death have not gone away, they have only grown more urgent.
