Now Trump and Musk’s firing spree has reached the FDA – another reminder they care more about funding billionaire tax cuts than ensuring our food is safe. Their illegal, corrupt priorities are completely out of control and I am fighting them at every turn.

Taxpayer dollars should be used to support public schools, not funneled to unaccountable for-profit & religious schools. Trump’s order to federally fund these schools flies in the face of church-state separation, and @raskin.house.gov, @schakowsky.house.gov, and I are demanding he withdraw it.

Extreme Republicans in Congress are targeting the heart and soul of America's public lands – delaying wildfire mitigation efforts, funding for tribal communities, and more.

I asked Colorado Department of Natural Resources Executive Director Gibbs about the local impact of these actions.

There are many real crises right now – a betrayal of the American people, a truth crisis, a climate crisis – but we are NOT facing an energy crisis.

This isn’t a plan to help Americans – it’s a grift to pad the pockets of Big Oil.

Republicans have been ordered by their billionaire Puppet Master to end Medicare as we know it.

Democrats have 215 members in the House who can stop this extreme effort.

All we need is three House Republicans to join us.
