Social Security is breaking down

I am heartbroken by the news of Congressman Raúl Grijalva's passing. For climate justice, economic justice, health justice—Raúl fought fearlessly for change.

The United States doesn't support Ukraine as a favor, but because it serves our security.

Yelling in the Oval Office and siding with Putin is shameful and a danger to democracy around the world.

While I support efforts to modernize our air traffic control system and improve aviation safety, this decision raises conflicts-of-interest concerns.

Denying the science underpinning the finding makes the administration a danger to our country.

This is not a joke. Unconscionable.

The acronym for Musk's task force should instead be short for the 'Department of Gutting Education.'

This bloated Pentagon budget does not make us safer.

Elon wants the CFPB gone so tech billionaires can profit from apps, like X, that offer bank-like services but don't follow financial laws that keep people’s money safe.

We just went in and asked for a meeting with the DOGE representatives, and we were denied and we were turned away.

We're going to need people by the millions to stand up to Trump, because they want to loot all the health care, education and environmental programs for the tax breaks for the millionaires and billionaires.
