🚨 RFK Jr just slashed $190 MILLION from Arizona’s public health funding. That’s money to stop outbreaks and keep Arizonans safe. This is reckless.

China, Russia and India have dispatched emergency teams and supplies to earthquake-ravaged Myanmar. So have Thailand, Malaysia and Vietnam. The U.S., the richest country in the world and once its most generous provider of foreign aid, has sent nothing.

When you spend half your time driving around in the Presidential limousine and the other half in a golf cart, of course you don’t care about rising car prices. But most Americans do.

Good news: a ton of you wanted to join the de-escalation training! Bad news: we hit our Zoom capacity. We expanded the Zoom account ahead of this, but it seems it didn't register in time. We will be sharing a slide deck and holding future trainings. Thank you for your understanding #teslatakedown

Trump’s changes to Social Security will slash 7,000 jobs, shut down offices, and make folks jump through hoops to get what they’ve already earned. Seniors, disabled people, and rural communities—y’all are the target. This is not efficiency, it’s straight-up cruelty.

Trump just shuttered the US Institute of Peace. It might not seem like a big deal, but this is one additional step that weakens our influence and creates a world that is more chaotic and volatile. And because of that, you are less safe.

If you think this political mess will settle down and fears of a dictatorship are overblown, you're not alone. Some Germans in 1933 thought that, too.

When the VP says they "do not think military force will ever be necessary," he’s saying it’s on the table. Greenland is of strategic importance, but this Administration needs to stop threatening our allies — because without allies, we are less safe. It’s that simple.

So, according to Republicans, attacking our Capitol & beating police officers with their own shields is “free speech” that gets you pardoned, but signing your name to an op-ed in support of Palestine is “causing a ruckus” that gets you deported. Do I have that just about right?
