Republicans know the consequences of these cuts, they just prefer playing politics.
I voted NO. Their “America First” agenda clearly doesn’t include the people actually living in it. (2/2)

Last night we got another midnight special from House Republicans. A rescissions package that slashes public broadcasting, even though millions rely on it for life-saving emergency alerts. They also voted to cut foreign assistance, which helps keep us safe.

I introduced the Stop NOAA Closures Act with @rephuffman.bsky.social to block Trump from shuttering NOAA facilities around the country.

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

73% of Americans wrongly believe emergency contraception can end a pregnancy in its early stages, according to a study by KFF. That’s a myth pushed by anti-abortion lawmakers to make access to these pills even harder. Here’s the real truth about pills like Plan B.

Climate change-fueled extreme weather events are far too frequent. We owe it to our grandchildren to change course and ensure that we have a habitable planet to pass on to them.
