As data centers pop up around the country, Americans are subsidizing their costs in their energy bills. That's not right.

Today, I introduced the Power for the People Act to ensure that the huge corporations building & running these data centers pay the tab, not you.

Thomas Jefferson was 44 when he began what many in 2025 STILL consider a romantic tryst or loving affair with Sally Hemings.

Ms. Hemings had no legal capacity to consent to such a relationship not only because she was enslaved, Jefferson's property,

BUT ALSO BECAUSE SHE WAS 14-YEARS-OLD. /1

I’m about to board my flight to El Salvador, where I hope to meet with senior government officials to discuss the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

I also hope to see Kilmar and check on his condition — and remind him that we won’t stop fighting until he’s home.

For the first weeks, Americans seemed frozen, expecting institutions to do something. Americans were used to “checks and balances” and “guardrails” working. That didn’t happen. People realized that they had to take matters into their own hands.

There have been MASSIVE protests this week across the country. If you took any videos or photos from the protests, or have seen great videos or photos of them online, post them below! Let's show the world that the pro-democracy community is just getting started!
St. Paul, Minn., resist. It was so great to see love for humanity alongside disgust for foolish and dangerous leadership. #50501

As expected, the Trump team is already deleting climate info from government websites. In anticipation, our team at Urban Ocean Lab created a permanent archive of 100+ key resources and published a permanent archive: www.urbanoceanlab.org/resource-hub 👩🏽‍💻
