The EPA is preparing to cancel $7 billion in grants intended to fund rooftop solar projects for low- and middle-income households. Officials plan to send notices to all 60 recipients in the Solar for All program, spanning 49 states, informing them that their funding has been revoked.

Today, President Trump signed a bill into law that will eliminate $1.1B of federal funding for public media. This devastating act tipped the threat against journalism in America into a crisis.

SCOTUS upheld federal workers’ right to speak out—even as loyalty tests and purges spread. Justice Jackson’s warning rings out: “Silence is not neutrality. It’s surrender.” The Court drew a line. The question now: who dares stand on it?

Palantir wins new federal contracts under Trump’s plan—despite its controversial record on surveillance and anti-Muslim extremism. This isn’t just business as usual. It’s a power grab of your data by a private company with little oversight. Read the warning.

My YES vote is *not* an endorsement of this deeply flawed CR.
My YES vote is 💯 about refusing to shut our government down.
I refuse to punish working families and plunge millions of Americans into chaos.
I will never, ever, ever, ever, ever vote to shut our government down.

I love to call my Senators' offices three times per week and try to cajole them into doing the most elementary political messaging and strategy. This is what it means to be an engaged citizen: leaving a strenuously polite voicemail for a 74yo on a more regular cadence than I talk to my parents.

Extraordinary moment — Nancy Pelosi issues a statement calling on Democratic senators to reject the House funding bill, i.e. to defy Chuck Schumer.
"Democratic senators should listen to the women," she says, referring to Murray/DeLauro who want a 1-month stopgap bill instead.

Budget vote is today. Some dems are still on the fence. Flood their lines! Tell them to vote no on cloture and no on the continuing resolution. The CR hands spending power to Trump to slash at will. A shutdown to bring negotiators to the table is better than a permanent shutdown from being defunded

Authoritarians govern through fear, not legislation. The simple fear of what they would do in certain situations can push even the opposition to capitulate. That’s success for them.
We lose when we fold due to a hypothetical. We win when we challenge the REALITY that is hurting working people.

The institutional Democratic Party is guided by an almost pathological level of conflict avoidance in almost every direction. “What can we do to make the least number of people mad?” is just a bankrupt way to operate.

NO on handing Donald Trump and Elon Musk a blank check to spend your taxpayer money however they want.
NO on cutting funding that helps families put food on the table and crack down on wealthy tax cheats.

The CR passed in the House will provide a blank check for Trump and Musk to continue their savage war against working families, the elderly, children, the sick and the poor in order to lay the groundwork for massive tax breaks for billionaires.
