BREAKING: A federal judge reversed National Institutes of Health's terminations of hundreds of critical research grants that were canceled because of their alleged connection to disfavored topics, including diversity, equity, inclusion, and gender identity. This is a major win for public health.

There are widespread reports of ICE agents abducting people while masked, without warrants or identification. Due to recent events, we strongly advise: do not open your door or car for anyone you don’t know. That’s the message. No need to elaborate.

Congress should pass the bipartisan BARK Act, my bill to save millions of pounds of perfectly good pet food from the trash and get it to the growing population of hungry shelter dogs and cats. We can do this. Let’s get it done.

My oldest's "bookshelf" painting is coming along. It's funny how each child's painting has it own challenges.This one alllll the details. #artshare #skyart #artlife #painting #parenting #broadway #books

Minnesota’s flags will fly at half staff in honor and remembrance of Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman. She woke up every morning determined to make Minnesota a better place, and she will be greatly missed.

The fires are so extensive across Manitoba, Saskatchewan & Ontario currently that there are not enough air crafts to rescue remote Native Canadians. I am sending an SOS to every nation to help save the lives of people who are going to burn alive. Literally. Canada needs evacuation assistance.

Now, starting my oldest "bookshelf" painting. Not as worried. But, it has a lot more detail. And, she wants a Woodstock stuffy on the shelf. Because who doesn't like Snoopy and Woodstock.lol #artshare #skyart #artlife #painting #femaleartist #parenting

My daughter after I just finished cleaning the big glass doors. "Mom don't worry. It's soap!" I look over to see soapy hand prints ALL OVER the doors I just cleaned. Sigh.. start scrubbing again! #parenthood #parenting #parenthumor

This painting, inspired by my trip to Kyoto, Japan, captures an arbor of cherry trees blossoming overhead. I love how cherry trees are pruned in Japan to create beautiful, arching branches. Cherry Arbor Original Oil Painting by Erin Hanson, 2024 30 x 24 in #treetuesday #bloomscrolling #dailyart

I finished my youngest flower shop painting. Watching her glowing smile and touching the images... make it all worth it. My littlest art critic LOVES it! #artshare #skyart #artlife #artshow #painting #femaleartist #parenthumor

I’m officially running to be the Ranking Member of the House Oversight Committee. These are not normal times—and this cannot be a business-as-usual moment. Read my full letter to my colleagues here: crockett.house.gov/media/press-...

They’re not banning books because they’re dangerous—They’re banning them because they expose the truth. 📚 Erased tells the history they tried to bury—& now they’re coming for it. If it’s “too dangerous to teach,” you need to read it. ⚠️Read it before they ban it for good: stan.store/gxldsociety/...

I absolutely agree with this! It’s so sad that millions don’t. #Pinks

Long live Sesame Street! 🥹 Had so much fun at the Sesame Workshop gala! Thank you, with all of my heart, for your commitment to coming together to help children grow smarter, stronger, kinder ✨

Breaking News: A judge said the government should release Kseniia Petrova, a Russian scientist employed by Harvard University, saying U.S. customs had “no factual or legal basis” for revoking her visa.

With the everything the way it is..... having this little Lady and Tramp makes me SO happy everyday.... it's the simple things. I am truly shocked at how much joy they bring me each morning when I see them!

New data finds Americans are more likely to support labor unions over Big Business than at any time in the past 60 years. We are witnessing a historic rebirth of worker power.  If you want a better life for you and your children, join or support a union.

Going through old photos of my childhood home, I came across my "study" of the old wallpaper in the upstairs hallway. I did not expect something I did on a whim over 20 years ago, to have such a impact today. #artshare #skyart #artlife

Today the Supreme Court cleared the way for the federal government to transfer thousands of acres of national forestland including a Native American sacred site, to Resolution Copper a mining company owned by Rio Tinto and BHP. The land holds deep spiritual significance for the Western Apache tribe.

The past few months have been tough, and we just want to say thank you. In the beginning, it felt like we were yelling into the wind, no one was listening. But then you all showed up. You raised your voices, shared the truth, and made the media pay attention.

This Memorial Day weekend, the best way to honor the soldiers who gave the ultimate sacrifice is to honor and protect the freedoms and the democracy they died for.

I dropped of Phoienx at the vet. I turned and and saw... Sprocket! The dog looked just like Sprocket from Fraggle Rock. I smiled and told my husband I have a new life goal. To own all the cartoon dogs I loved growing up. There out there. I belive in myself. LOL #80s #fragglerock #doglove

"Sorry, my Mum said no"

Hundreds of public safety grants cut, worth $500 million, funded initiatives like drug treatment and gun violence prevention programs.

While folks were wrapping up their weekends, House Republicans were sneaking through Trump’s tax scam—one that slashes Medicaid, cuts food assistance, and makes the rich richer. If this bill passes all the way through, 13.7 million people will lose their healthcare coverage.

Still one of my favorite pet portraits I painted.... my "Big Guy" Dublin "Dubby". He was my gental giant! #artshare #skyart #artshow #artlife #painting #femaleartist #boxer
