Trans kids suffer when they don't get medically-necessary care. This is a brazen political decision by the Supreme Court. My heart is with trans kids and their loved ones. I won’t stop fighting to make sure they can be exactly who they are.

Allowing Netanyahu to drag us into another endless war in the Middle East would be a catastrophic error by President Trump and Republicans in Congress. Every lawmaker needs to ring the alarm against U.S. military action in Iran. Only Congress has the authority to declare war.

It’s not “efficient” for a 21-year-old Elon Musk crony to have access to the sensitive personal data of every single American paying into Social Security. This reeks of corruption to benefit Trump-friendly Palantir while risking Social Security info for millions.

The Congressional Budget Office just confirmed that the Big Beautiful Bill is, in Elon Musk’s words, a “disgusting abomination.” This exposes Republicans’ lies — this bill will rip health care away from millions of people and jack up the debt to fund tax breaks for billionaires.

It’s insane that Republicans are still trying to sell trickle-down economics—and it’s peak insanity that people still buy it. Before Reagan’s tax cuts, debt was under control—even w/highways, Medicare, Medicaid, and the Cold War. What changed? Massive tax cuts. And we’re still footing the bill.

The Big Beautiful Bill gives federal workers a choice: Relinquish your rights, become an at-will employee, & pay 4.4% into your pension. Or maintain those rights (some collectively bargained for) & pay 9.4%. The pension is defined benefit. So it's just a shakedown for basic rights:

Why in the world would 7 companies donate over $160,000 to Billy Long's DEFUNCT 2022 Senate campaign? And are we expected to believe it's a coincidence that they made those donations right after Long was nominated to be Trump's IRS Commissioner? Looks like pure corruption.
