Great news! Thanks to @agdanrayfield.bsky.social for bringing this lawsuit and for everyone in Newport who has been fighting so hard to ensure we keep our coastal communities safe. I will keep pushing for answers until this temporary order is made permanent.

The Republican NDAA amendment suggested below that would ban state AI regulation is outrageous. We the People deserve a say in how AI is regulated to address impacts to the workforce, information integrity & preserve states’ rights. This Big Tech backroom deal is government overreach plain & simple.

The Trump admin is trying to dismantle the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the agency that protects working people when big banks cheat them on mortgages, credit cards and more.
This is an attack on all workers and their financial security. https://politi.co/3LCAFwy

The American people cannot pay their premiums with promises.
The Republicans have had TEN MONTHS to extend the insurance tax credits that tens of millions rely on. They’ve done nothing. Why would this time be any different?
It’s either in the bill or it isn’t getting my vote.

BREAKING: Senators reach a tentative deal to end the government shutdown which, if passed, will take days to reach Trump’s desk to become law.
Senators reach tentative deal to end the government shutdown
The deal, negotiated by a group of Democrats and GOP leaders, funds the government through Jan. 30. If it passes, it will still need to clear the House, which will likely take days.

I didn't know 'America First' meant sending our kids to die for oil in another foreign war.
President Trump's strikes in the Caribbean & his impending war in Venezuela are illegal without a vote by Congress. We the People deserve a say in if our kids get sent to die in a repeat of the Iraq War.

Despite a court order, the Trump admin is dragging its feet on paying people the SNAP benefits they need.
Meanwhile they're buying Kristi Noem 2 new jets, bailing out Argentina, & building a ballroom.
They have the money.
They just don't want working people to have dignity.

Doing the same thing over & over while expecting a different result is the definition of insanity.
Republicans have been in charge for 10 months, & they've done nothing to address the rising costs of health care.
At this point their words & empty promises mean nothing to me, I need to see action.

Republicans cut Medicaid by $1 trillion in their budget bill. Now they want to let ACA subsidies expire for 24 million Americans.
The impending Republican health care crisis is going to hit us all, that's why Republicans must come back to the table to help us fix the mess they've created.
