It's not just that the White House won't commemorate World AIDS Day.

It's that Trump has needlessly decimated lifesaving HIV/AIDS research. It's that his administration has cut off resources to help eradicate this disease around the world.

Hurting people and helping no one.
Trump Administration Will No Longer Commemorate World AIDS Day

Pete Hegseth has never been qualified for his job, and he has months of costly mistakes and scandals to prove it. He must resign or be fired.

Flight get cancelled? Trump says that's fine with him.

Trump just made flight delays even more miserable, cancelling a Biden program to require customers get compensated for delays.

His whole life he's been on private planes, he doesn't care.

Trump’s ICE raids make our communities less safe. At a field hearing with @oversightdemocrats.house.gov in LA, we heard from a woman whose 79 year old father, an American citizen, was brutally assaulted by ICE.

Trump’s mass deportation policies are leading to civil rights violations.

Absolutely incredible; after shooting Marimar Martinez 5 times and arresting her on claims that she rammed them and pulled a gun, prosecutors have now moved to dismiss ALL criminal charges against her and her codefendant.
New: the govt has moved to dismiss its assault case against Marimar Martinez and Anthony Ian Santos Ruiz, two people accused of "box[ing] in" a Border Patrol vehicle in Chicago on Oct. 4.

One agent shot Martinez, with evidence presented to the court that he later bragged about in text messages.

In first grade, Logan wore his hair long to connect with his Native culture.

His school demanded he cut it, but after Logan and his family pushed back, the school updated its rules to allow for long hair on boys.

Native students have the right to honor their heritage in their expression.
My Son's Hair is Part of a Thousand-Year-Old Tribal Culture. His School Called it a 'Fad.' | ACLU
The school’s requirement is a rejection of who he is and a demand that he sacrifice his culture and heritage to conform to baseless and unfair rules.

Incarcerated people in the U.S. are 6x more likely to contract a foodborne illness than the general population. 

Everyone deserves access to safe and nutritious food, both this holiday season and all year round.

Back in August, Judge Lewis Kaplan ordered DHS to start treating people humanely at 26 Fed. Plaintiffs says DHS has fixed none of the problems there and are asking for sanctions.

Emerson finds TN-7 basically ~tied ahead of Tuesday election, with Trump underwater in a district he won by 22.

A winnable race for Dems.

If R’s lose this race their ability to control the House *this year* is a real issue.

My daughter and I visited the house we lived in when she was a baby, and she was shocked a 29-year-old Navy guy could afford a nice house in a safe neighborhood.

That wasn’t crazy in 1996 — but today, a nice house is out of reach for so many young people. That has to change.

Today with Mercedes & Leon, I announced my plans to introduce the WELLS Act—brand-new legislation to implement safe discharge plans.

Mercedes Wells was discharged from a hospital while in active labor. That never should have happened, and I’ll make sure it never happens again.
