Today marks 3 years since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Instead of siding with our allies and long-standing values, this Administration is cozying up to Putin. It’s shameful. Freedom and democracy worldwide are at stake.

The CFPB was dismantled over the weekend, with all activities suspended, its funding reduced to zero, and its headquarters temporarily closed—removing a crucial layer of oversight for consumer-facing financial companies. Staff members ordered to cease all ‘supervision and examination activities.

Trump's attack on NIH funding is a reckless attack on science, innovation, and the people who depend on them.
It will gut critical research, kill jobs, and put lives at risk—especially in the #MA7, a global hub for cutting-edge research.

At least $12 *trillion* from global oligarchs is hidden offshore in secret tax havens worldwide. And it is headquartered right here in the USA.
Instead of cutting lifesaving programs like the VA, Medicaid, and food stamps, we should be cracking down on tax havens for the ultra-rich.
