Today, Rep. Dan Goldman and I re-introduced the Abortion Care Awareness Act of 2025. This bill directs HHS to launch a national education campaign so people know their rights, understand their options, and can access accurate info about abortion care.

Sullivan criticism of federal judge is off-base, attorneys say
Judge Sharon Gleason just did what Sen. Sullivan says she never does: decided a case against environmental groups. Still, he says he's determined the next judge won't be like her.

Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously.
Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that.

Within the ranks of NOAA Fisheries, and among some in the fishing industry, there is a growing unease that the agency’s ability to carry out core missions could be undermined by the Trump administration’s push to shrink the federal government.

NOAA Fisheries biologists working on key surveys were cut, and more firings are expected, while restrictions on new rules create challenges for timely opening of March harvests.

If you support any of this, you’re honestly just a terrible person. People’s lives are being upended and destroyed. For every 1% increase in unemployment, 40,000 people die—yet some are celebrating.

We as a country will save nothing. Federal employee salaries make up just 4% of the budget—roughly $271 billion. So even if every federal worker were fired, that’s the maximum you’d save. Meanwhile, the U.S. House GOP has released a budget that raises the debt limit by $4 trillion.
