A gallon of gas is now 50% more expensive than when Trump started his Iran War. In the war's first month, the 100 biggest oil and gas companies brought in an extra $30 million per HOUR in windfall profits. Trump's Big Oil donors come out on top while the world suffers.

Hands off our healthcare! Mifepristone is safe, effective, and FDA-approved. That's why I'm leading more than 250 members of Congress to push back against Trump's attack on basic healthcare.

I led 259 of my colleagues in Congress to tell the Supreme Court directly: mifepristone is safe. Over seven million patients have used it without incident. There’s no dispute about the science.

It’s official: President Trump is now the only president in U.S. history to have removed more protections on public land than he has granted. Support Defenders of Wildlife efforts to protect the many endangered species!

For recovery to succeed, Mexican gray wolves must be allowed to run naturally across the landscapes where they belong. Every young wolf who leaves its pack has the potential to start a new family, creating a stronger future for the animal and the species. Read more: dfnd.us/40S2FRl #LoboWeek

@bsky.app From the Washington Post this morning: "As measles cases climb, these 9 diseases threaten comebacks" The others are pertusis, meningitis, polio, rotaviris, RSV, tetanus, rubella, hepatitis B, and diptheria. Get your kids vaccinated!

Trump's big, ugly budget megabill gives ICE more agents than the FBI, more jails than the federal Bureau of Prisons, and a larger budget than most countries' militaries. Not one more penny for ICE.

From RawStory "Two advocacy groups, Ohio Immigrant Alliance & Pacific Antifascist Collective, published an updated list ...of immigration officers, all men, ... accused of various violent offenses. . . all but one has been charged with sex offenses, and 2/3 committed sexual crimes against children."

ICE Must GO! There is rot within ICE and DHS . . . at least 30 agents were charged or convicted of violent crimes; 2/3 of those were violent sexual crimes against children. These aren't lawmen. They are a violent, lawless militia. J6 insurrectionists . . . are recruited to ICE for Trump’s revenge.

We are calling for an end to U.S. hostility toward Venezuela, including sanctions, threats & war. U.S. pressure on Venezuela is escalating, risking another war for oil! WBW exige el fin de la hostilidad de EE.UU. hacia Venezuela. La presión de EE.UU. aumenta, ¡y arriesga otra guerra por petróleo!

Supreme Court, don't waste time on Trump. He can’t ban birthright citizenship! The Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution states “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.”

Criminals posing as US immigration officers have carried out robberies, kidnappings and sexual assaults in several states, warns an FBI bulletin to law enforcement agencies issued last month. The bulletin urged nationwide coordination to distinguish real operations from fakes.

@bsky.app Budget bill risks lives! US Reps vote again. At San Luis Valley Health, CO, Medicaid covers 1/3 of the annual budget while 40% of residents are on Medicaid. The Summit Daily writes “Colorado health care leaders say $700B in proposed Medicaid cuts will harm rural services, access to care."

The White House press secretary claimed Hayden put inappropriate books in the library for children. However, the Library of Congress is mainly a research institution that supports members of Congress. It is not a lending library and does not offer children’s books for checkout.

What's up with Republicans? Trump’s tax bill slaps taxes on foundations, penalizes nonprofits for offering fair benefits to employees, and cuts support for organizations fighting hunger & homelessness, and helping healthcare. Where's compassion? Instead we give to billionaires!

From the Washington Post, Musk called Trump’s big bloatful bill “pork-filled” and “a disgusting abomination.” "Musk ... issued his strongest condemnation...of the tax and immigration bill . . . “Shame on those who voted for it: you know you did wrong,” Meanwhile Trump is

The Declaration of Independence “When in the course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve political bands [&] when a long train of abuses & usurpations. . . design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government"

The Republicans in House of Representatives just released their budget, which calls for $2 TRILLION in cuts to Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid while handing out twice that amount in tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy. Trump promised to “love and cherish” Medicaid but Congress will cut it!
