🚨 A court just said the EPA must stop blocking the investments from our Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund.
We created this program to support innovation that spurs good-paying jobs & lowers costs for Americans. EPA's attempts to clawback these investments are illegal.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion, after getting $1.2 trillion richer over the past year alone.
Meanwhile, the rest of the country is getting squeezed by tariffs and high prices for groceries, utilities, and health care.

In 1951, Barbara Rose Johns led a walkout of her segregated high school.
Now, her statue will stand in the same spot in the Capitol where Robert E. Lee's once was.
Even as this Admin tries to erase the Civil Rights struggle, we must continue the work to recognize these heroes.

Trump and Republicans in Congress seem to love socialism for the rich -- corporate welfare, subsidies, and tax breaks galore. Yet they demand harsh capitalism for the rest of America.

Trump is trying to BAN states from regulating AI in *any* way to protect your safety and privacy.
He couldn't get the votes in Congress to do it—so he's threatening to sue or yank funding from any state that stands up to tech billionaires.
This is a massive, corrupt overreach.

Quickly lost track of how many lies Trump shouted out tonight, but the main takeaway is that he has clearly lost touch with reality. Delusional.
