What do Big Tech, Crypto, & FinTech all have in common?
They spent millions on the election & are seeing their enforcement actions "magically" disappear.
Amazon, Google, Meta, & OpenAI are just some of the corporations that have had investigations into their potential wrongdoing dropped or halted.

Big Pharma has sent over 500 lobbyists to D.C. with one goal: protect their profits, even at the expense of patients and taxpayers.
They are actively trying to undermine Medicare drug price negotiations.
Costs will keep going up because of their unbridled corporate greed.

Trump cut critical programs & sabotaged the global fight against AIDS.
Now, he's taking credit for a wildly insufficient prevention drug deal that excludes some of the countries that need it most.
We can end the AIDS crisis, but greed is getting in the way.

An AI deepfake was submitted as evidence in a California court.
This appears to be one of the first instances - but likely won't be the last.
Think about the repercussions: people could be wrongly convicted.
We MUST regulate this technology before it destroys lives.

Trump's National Guard deployments have cost over $473 MILLION.
A disgusting misuse of federal resources, taxpayer dollars, and US troops’ service.
Doing this while firing federal workers and kicking millions off of healthcare is just the cherry on top of the dumpster fire that is the Trump admin.

Science-based information on the CDC's website was replaced with anti-vaccine rhetoric.

The Trump White House will always find a way to hide and lie about how badly they are crashing the economy.
This is critical data that needs to be released to the public.

We submitted a petition to the FDA urging the agency to require evidence-based pregnancy warnings for common antidepressants.
Use of these drugs should be considered in pregnancy ONLY if their potential benefits outweigh their potential risks.
Proper labeling is critical.

8 GOP Senators snuck a provision into the emergency funding bill that would let them sue the gov. for MILLIONS if their phone data is accessed w/out their knowledge.
