The House budget deal would rip away jobs in energy and raise working people’s energy bills.

It’s now on every senator who claims to care about America’s workers, our industries and our communities to reject this job-killing bill. aflcio.org/press/releas...

Hell yeah. Hold the line. This is what we need people to do.

Slow things down, don’t comply in advance so the courts have time to stop them. It’s starting to work.
Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

Warren: "He can stand there, smile at you and say, 'anybody can vaccinate their kids who wants to,' but he literally could bankrupt the vaccines manufacturers with the power he will have. And since he's got a financial incentive to do that, we cannot trust him in that job."

Trump's latest executive orders targeting educators and our public schools will not stand. We will resist, and we will do so successfully with parents and communities across the nation. Our full statement: edmn.me/4hgLBea

Because they are evil, we must stand up to them.

But because they are also stupid, we needn’t be afraid to.

I’ll never get over that all of this was avoidable and our kids could’ve had a better future had voters just made the obviously rational choice in November. It’s water under the bridge now. But what the fuck, people.

Devastating for scientists and their research, and everyone who benefits from that research.

I’m not sure if everyone outside academia is aware that a delay or “pause” in grant funding often means the researchers themselves are lost from the field, along with their expertise.
NIH appears to have canceled/postponed all of its study sections—the independent review panels that approve federal grants for health research.

Such grants fund the work/salaries of 300k people at more than 2,500 institutions
All NIH study sections canceled indefinitely. This will halt science and devastate research budgets in universities.

Throwback Thursday? Tomorrow at 1:30 SSB 1028 in subcommittee. Same language as last year’s bill that required the “Meet Baby Olivia” video or a comparable—which was not scientifically accurate. Public can speak in person or via zoom:
