Trump: Gutting National Parks—And Hiding the Evidence National parks hit 331M visits, but Trump officials don’t want you to know. A leaked memo bans the Park Service from promoting the numbers—while firing rangers, closing visitor centers, and cutting safety. This won’t go well—we love our parks.

My staff and I are closely tracking the potential measles exposure in San Antonio that originated with a visitor from West Texas. If you visited any of the locations listed below, please watch out for symptoms (including fever or unexplained rash) and contact a doctor right away if they occur.

Did you know you can follow and get alerts for bills at www.congress.gov? I've looked through the ones written/co-signed by my rep and senators and by reps/senators I align with. I get alerts for any changes to bills I'm interested in following, from the ridiculous to the serious.

For more than one story I’ve read over the past couple of weeks, I’ve paused to wonder if it’s been affected by funding freezes, DEI slashes, or workforce reductions. This farmer training program receives funding through the USDA, and 56% were from minority groups. nicenews.com/environment/...

In just over 25 years, inventions from universities + nonprofits drove $1.9 trillion in gross output for US industries, contributed up to $1 trillion to the US GDP, and supported about 6.5 million jobs. This isn’t just research for research’s sake-it’s real economic impact on a national scale.

This is exactly what we want to see from Democrats right now! There’s no excuse for Senate Democrats to be confirming any of Trump’s nominees while MAGA’s illegal power grab continues. If you’re represented by Sen. @schatz.bsky.social, be sure to thank him for fighting back against President Musk.

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

📊 PURGE UPDATE 🗑️ On data.cdc.gov, you 🫵, the American people, should have access to hundreds of datasets, charts, and maps. These public resources are being set to private until they can change data points related to gender. Youth data will be esp hard hit as it contains the most non-binary data.

I might be a bit late at reading this, but I was just saying yesterday how I wished private funders would help fill the gaps in all the loss of funding that’s happened over the past week and start to pull that bullying power away from Trump. This is amazing. www.bloomberg.org/press/un-spe...
