Your MAGA-run government is more concerned about ‘decorum’ than they are people losing access to Medicaid and Social Security and the demise of our democracy. And it’s always the Black and brown folks who are silenced and punished for speaking truth to power.

21,000+ jobs in PA gone. Cancer research halted. Medical breakthroughs delayed. Students' medical careers stopped in their tracks. Life-saving treatments put on hold. Trump’s NIH cuts guarantee one thing: more suffering and neglect for the people.

Republicans aren’t “unleashing” the federal workforce, they’re dismantling it in real-time. And the architects of these policies are the ultra-wealthy who stand to gain from slashing wages, gutting jobs, and hoarding wealth. We cannot afford to let it go unchecked.

Diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives in schools have allowed us to address the ongoing harms of segregation and discrimination. I led my colleagues in calling on the Dept. of Education to rescind their harmful threats. Cutting funding isn’t the solution. thehill.com/homenews/rac...
