Right now, Congress has an unprecedented opportunity to pass a ban on Congressional stock trading.

To help make this happen, we need you to raise your voice. Tell YOUR reps to #StopTheTrades:

Scientists are pushing back on the Trump administration’s latest climate report, calling it misleading and full of errors. The administration wants to use the report to justify rolling back limits on climate pollution and reversing decades of progress.
Dozens of scientists find errors in a new Energy Department climate report
More than 85 scientists say that a recent U.S. Department of Energy report is full of errors and misrepresents climate science.

We need an HHS Secretary who respects science and does not make policy based on conspiracy theories.

Vaccines are safe and effective.

Kennedy is threatening the health of our kids and all Americans.

He must resign.

Republicans in Congress have structured the most painful benefit cuts in their budget bill to kick in AFTER the 2026 midterms. 

But the tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy? Those begin immediately.

Remember this.

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

The Watergate break-in (which happened 53 years ago this week) began the modern era of “whatever-it-takes-to-win” politics — blatant disregard of any and all norms and laws that interfered with gaining or keeping power. Trump is the logical and inevitable consequence. https://bit.ly/3QV2m4s

Businesses are stepping up to protect their employees against ICE raids. Over 100 workplaces have pledged to become 4th Amendment Workplaces and have trained their staff on what to do if ICE shows up.

One of Trump's first actions was to pardon Jan 6 insurrections.

He offered a “get out of jail free” card to people who committed violence on his behalf.  

And he continues to spew hateful rhetoric towards his political opponents.

This will only fuel more violence.

We hear that immigrants are "freeloaders," yet they're being arrested at their workplaces.

We hear that immigrants "just need to follow the law," but when they attempt to, they're rounded up at courthouses.

Hello?

I asked Trump's Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent to justify cutting Medicaid by $700 billion dollars just to give the very richest people in this country a $235 billion tax break.

You won't be surprised to learn: he didn't have an answer.

This is my cat. His full government name is “Five Dollar Bill” but we call him “Bill” for short.

There can only be one big beautiful Bill.

Do you know how much CEO pay has skyrocketed since 1978?

100%? 500%?

Try 1,085%

Meanwhile, the $7.25/hr fed. minimum wage hasn't budged in 15 years and the tipped min. wage has been $2.13/hr since 1991.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Here's an Earth Day reminder that Big Oil and Gas spent $96 million to help reelect Donald Trump.

Now he's getting rid of environmental protections to appease his donors.

If we want to live on a healthy planet, we need to End Citizens United and get Big Money out of our politics

It's really hard to make videos about all of the cool science coming out all of the time.

I really appreciate Trump trying to help me out with this problem by making it so no new science comes out ever.

Do not normalize children dying from measles. Measles was previously eliminated in the US, thanks to vaccines.

When children die from measles, it means that adults have catastrophically failed to protect them because they have rejected basic science.
