I led the delegation in pressing for the urgent completion of this risk assessment.

Everyone knows we need more resources for mental health, and these funds are making a difference.

The administration does not have the authority to rescind these funds and must reinstate these grants.

Like all workers, federal employees at Portsmouth's National Passport Center deserve the right to collectively bargain for fair wages and safe working conditions, but these rights are under attack by the Trump administration.

I spoke with @nffe.bsky.social VP about this important matter.

As of 12:01 am ET today, most auto part imports will come with a 25% import tax. Not a single one of the 10 million cars turned out by US plants last year was built without some imported parts. The tariffs on parts will mean tens of billions of dollars in new costs to American car buyers and owners.
Another round of auto tariffs just went into effect. They could change the industry forever | CNN Business
The average car buyer doesn’t think about where the parts in their their vehicle come from – but automakers do.
