Trump wants to fire 83k VA workers, many of whom are veterans themselves, decimating the VA & making it harder for veterans to get health care & benefits. When Americans put their lives on the line to defend our country, we must keep our commitments to them — not betray them.

When Trump effectively shuts down the NLRB, corporate bosses can illegally fire workers who are trying to form a union and flagrantly violate labor laws. Today, I am reintroducing the PRO Act to strengthen unions, and restore power and legal rights to workers.

Elon Musk and Donald Trump’s dismantling of USAID will lead to millions of preventable deaths. The decision of the richest person in the world to destroy an agency that delivers life-saving aid to the poorest people on the planet is unconscionable.

Giant corporations are using Donald Trump’s haphazard tariff announcements as an excuse to raise prices. The Trump Administration has no plan to stop it – and working families will unfairly foot the bill.

Remember how Elon falsely claimed that Ebola prevention programs had been restored after DOGE shut it down? Here's some background on why it wasn't. Pete Marocco literally ordered that personnel who were not available pesonally deliver PPE for use. legacy.www.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

DOGE has seized access to huge troves of sensitive personal and national security information – and can’t even set up its own website securely. When DOGE fails to protect that data, it puts us all in danger. @repstansbury.bsky.social, @connolly.house.gov and I are pushing back.

During the campaign, little noticed, Trump suggested he might stop sharing intelligence w/NATO. This is consistent with that: Rather than simply withhold intelligence about RU's sabotage of Europe, Trump will simply not collect it.

Meet Trump's new best friend, Vladimir Putin. At the heart of Putin’s rule are two forces: corruption & violence. In Putin's Russia, there is no freedom of speech. Protests are violently suppressed. Dissidents are murdered. And the billionaire oligarchs become even richer.

One way you can tell that DOGE is not doing what they claim they are, modernizing tech or finding waste, is bc Trump and DOGE have ousted 3 entities who ALREADY WERE DOING THAT. @donmoyn.bsky.social describes two here, USDS and 18F. The third are the IGs. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/skilled-te...

Putin can’t believe his luck. Here is Kremlin spokesman Dmitri Peskov on Trump: “The new administration is fast changing all foreign policy configurations…This coincides with our vision in many ways.” Trump now backs dictatorship, not democracy. We cannot allow that to stand.

As a kid, I read about John Muir. Like Muir, nature for me is solace, refuge, indeed sacred. Reading about John Muir as a kid, introduced me to Yosemite National Park. Many years later, I read about Teddy Roosevelt meeting John Muir. vault.sierraclub.org/john_muir_ex...
