This is a moral moment in America. Sitting on the Capitol steps with Leader Hakeem Jeffries this morning to discuss what’s at stake with Trump’s budget and affirm the need for collective action to protect Medicaid, food assistance, and other safety net programs. @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social

President Trump’s new executive order and the SAVE Act threaten to make voting more difficult for millions of people across the country.

The SAVE Act isn't about safeguarding elections. It's about silencing voters.

Tell your Senator: Vote NO on the Save Act.

Stop the SAVE Act
The SAVE Act would keep millions of people from being able to vote – and would shut countless eligible voters out of our democracy. Urge Congress to vote no now.

Sen. Booker just broke the record for the longest floor speech in Senate history—a record set by Strom Thurmond trying to block the Civil Rights Act. The irony ain’t lost on us. From fighting against justice to fighting for it. This is what courage & being on the right side of history looks like!

I’ve taken the Senate floor and will speak for as long as I’m physically able to lift the voices of Americans who are being harmed and not being heard in this moment of crisis. Watch here:

Thank you, President Trump! Our long national nightmare of accurate weather forecasts is coming to an end!

“There’s no question it will lead to errors. It’s just a matter of how bad will it be... We know these things help with forecasts, so why are we cutting them?”

With fewer weather balloons due to government staffing cuts, forecasts may be less accurate
At least 10 sites have suspended or limited weather balloon launches, which used to occur twice daily, because of the Trump administration’s cuts to the National Weather Service.

#Livestockfarming in particular is responsible for more than half of global #greenhousegas emissions from food, and is the main driver of tropical deforestation, making the growing demand for meat and dairy incompatible with climate goals.

We’re in court today challenging an executive order by the Trump administration that denies accurate passports to transgender, non-binary, and intersex people.

Everyone deserves the ability to travel safely and freely.
