Harvey Milk was a selfless patriot, devoting his life to serving his country and fighting for LGBTQ+ rights. He’s earned his recognition in our history books and on this Naval ship. Removing his name during Pride Month is wrong, but we won’t let it erase his legacy.

The American public deserves to know that those serving at the highest levels of government are free from financial conflicts of interest. Needless to say, this administration appears to be awash in such corruption. I'm determined to get answers.

The GOP hid a reckless provision to shield Trump officials from contempt of court in their Medicaid-slashing megabill.

“I saw an iridescent biosphere teeming w/life..I didn’t see the economy. But since our human..systems treat everything, including the very life-support systems of our planet, as the wholly owned subsidiary of the global economy, it’s obvious from the vantage point of space that we’re living a lie.”

Another win!!! Now release him. A federal judge just ruled that the law used to detain Mr. Khalil is likely unconstitutional. Why? Because it’s too vague and was never meant to apply to someone like him a U.S. resident who never left the country.

Scores of staffers at the White House National Security Council have been abruptly dismissed as part of a sweeping overhaul that slashes the staff from over 300 to just 50. The move shifts the NSC’s role from policymaking to simply carrying out the president’s directives.

This is incredibly heartbreaking. Another example of what women have to deal with when seeking medical care. When we aren’t listened to or taken seriously when we know that something is wrong. When the arrogance of doctors is pitted against those who know their bodies… people.com/professional...

A new analysis estimates the Trump/GOP budget's rollback of clean energy tax credits will eliminate nearly 830,000 jobs by 2030 and raise energy prices by 50% by 2035. Just another way the "big beautiful bill" will make the economy worse and your life more expensive.

California has a right to protect its own people. From dirty air and dirty water. Now, Republicans in the Senate want to change that. And repeal California’s right to set its own policy, even as they eliminate the filibuster to do so.
