Instead of cutting costs for working families, Donald Trump is slashing the federal investments that fund their lifesaving care, fuel their local economy, and lower their health care costs.
It’s cruel, short-sighted, and will cost jobs and devastate millions of families.

NIH cuts billions of dollars in biomedical funding, effective immediately
Researchers say it would hurt facilities that work on medical issues such as cancer research and heart disease. Elon Musk contends the old policy was ‘a ripoff.’

Yes! All of this. “Imagine any reputable charity using these tactics — supporters would walk away. Yet in Democratic politics, this has become the norm.” #fundraising #ethics
Dems are drowning supporters in manipulative fundraising emails & texts.
In my @msnbc.com op-ed, I argue it's time to end these disrespectful tactics & return to treating supporters as partners in progress—not just as ATMs.
Leadership is about more than just fundraising. So is winning.

![Script for House members about HR 9495 (11.16.2024)
YOU: Hi, my name is [name]. I’m calling from [zip].
YOU: I’m calling on [HOUSE MEMBER] to vote NO to HR 9495 when it comes back to the floor again next week. The changes to the bill aren’t enough to address all previous concerns regarding it creating new powers that would be ripe for abuse.
YOU: While HR 9495’s core aim of supporting wrongfully detained U.S. nationals is sound, the bill would still empower any Secretary of the Treasury with a tool that would give them broad discretionary powers, which could easily become a threat to free speech and a violation of due process.
INCLUDE FOR HOUSE DEMS WHO VOTED YES LAST TIME (OPTIONAL): I know House member voted YES last time, and I’m calling on them to vote no this time. HR 9495’s core aims can be separated out. It shouldn’t move forward in a bill that would give unchecked powers to the Trump Administration. This isn’t sound policy.
YOU: And again, there’s already federal stature which makes it illegal for non-profit groups to fund terrorist groups. This reinvents the wheel for purposes that don’t make sense.
YOU: I am calling on [HOUSE MEMBER] to vote no.

YOU: There’s already federal stature which makes it illegal for non-profit groups to fund terrorist groups. This reinvents the wheel for purposes that don’t make sense, and gives broad powers to the Executive Branch.

YOU: Hi, my name is [name], and I’m calling from [zip].
YOU: I’m calling on Senator Schumer to not move forward with bringing HR 9495 to the Senate floor for a vote, should I make it through the House this upcoming week.
YOU: While HR 9495’s core aim of supporting wrongfully detained U.S. nationals is logical, the bill would grant any Secretary of the Treasury excessive discretionary powers. This creates a significant risk to free speech and could easily result in violations of due process. The bill shouldn’t move forward under any circumstances.
YOU: Allowing this bill to advance would set a dangerous precedent, especially with the unchecked powers it could offer to a future Trump Administration. This isn’t responsible or sound policy.
