Nearly 40 orgs joined us to demand Meta stop using people's faces, voices, & biometric info as free AI training data. Meta killed one creepy feature after backlash — but it’s not enough. It's time for Big Tech to realize people's privacy protections aren’t optional.

Over 500,000 low-income children rely on Head Start. Trump wants to shrink the program's 100+ page rulebook on safety, health screenings, and teacher ratios down to about 12 pages. Why would you undermine a program that helps low-income families? This admin is a disgrace.

Capital One closed HUNDREDS of bank accounts associated with Trump & his businesses in 2021 for "anti-money laundering reasons." Any President engaging in money laundering should be a national scandal. But in the Trump era, this news is barely a blip. Disgraceful.

Trump toady Todd Blanche made it through committee for his Attorney General nomination. Blanche JUST approved a corrupt deal that shields the Trumps & their businesses from tax audits. An AG should serve the American people, not the Trump family. Senators must block this unfit nominee.

DHS Secretary Mullin invested between $500,001 and $1 million in a kratom tonic company. He also reportedly urged FDA officials to remove language from their website warning of kratom’s harms. Wonder if that's why the Trump admin promoted ‘gas station heroin’ instead of cracking down on it?

BREAKING: The Justice Department. Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee just moved Trump lackey Todd Blanche's nomination to a full Senate vote. If confirmed Blanche will be corrupt, toadying, & focused on the defense of Trump. The Senate must reject Blanche for AG.

Get this: FCC commissioners who were reviewing the Paramount Warner Bros. merger ACCEPTED LUXURY GALA TICKETS FROM PARAMOUNT, allegedly violating basic ethics rules. These tickets were worth thousands of dollars. If you’re not alarmed about the integrity of this deal, you’re not paying attention.

Wall Street traders can now pay for early access to Trump's Truth Social posts. The President regularly uses his platform to announce policy decisions that impact the market. A corporate CEO would get jail time for this. Trump's getting a pay bump.

Elon Musk is planning to spend at least $100M in the midterms. He's mastered the playbook: drop millions to get industry friendly people elected, they'll push for policies that support your companies, you'll profit. Citizens United let the ultra-wealthy control our elections.

Senators Cornyn & Tillis said they'll vote YES on Trump's lackey Todd Blanche. Blanche says Trump's $1.8B taxpayer funded slush fund is dead, but he can reestablish it if confirmed. Blanche works for Trump - not the American people. Senators must reject this unfit nominee.

DHS Secretary Mullin invested between $500,001 and $1 million in a company that produces Kratom, also known as gas station heroin. And now instead of cracking down on Kratom, the Trump admin is promoting it. This will only lead to more addiction & death.

People are delaying heart tests and joint replacements because they can't afford insurance. Hospitals are drowning in unpaid bills. Why? Because Republicans in Congress forced ACA subsidies to expire. Absolutely heartless.

Trump is killing the subsidy that kept Medicare drug premiums stable for MILLIONS of American seniors. This means most Medicare patients — many of whom rely on fixed income from Social Security — will be paying more every month for the medication they need. Seniors deserve better.

The Trump admin is currently sitting on $7 BILLION of funds for transit projects. New railroad tracks, train stations, bus lanes…all stuck in political limbo. It seems like Trump is more focused on slapping his name on Penn Station than building infrastructure that would help people.

NEW LAWSUIT: We're representing 5 nonprofits fighting USDA’s speech & programing restrictions. These groups are being forced to either censor themselves or lose potential funding for their work to build a more just food system. We're suing USDA to block these unlawful terms.

The Senate Judiciary Committee delayed their vote on AG nominee Todd Blanche. Why? Because they know the vote will fail. Blanche stonewalled on the Epstein files and helped create Trump's slush fund. He's not fit to be AG. Call your Senator & tell to keep opposing Blanche!

You can thank the Trump admin for your explosive diarrhea. The record-setting cyclospora outbreak hit over 11,000 people across the country. And Trump's cuts to the FDA, CDC, & other health programs helped the outbreak spread rapidly. They failed to protect public health.

The Trump admin is urging the Supreme Court to allow it to make sweeping changes to vote-by-mail ahead of this year's midterm elections. Trump is trying to disenfranchise millions of voters. We can’t let him.

Congress allocated $150M for America's 250th. Trump got more money from defense contractors & other corporate interests, used it all to make the holiday about himself, & STILL wants $10M more from taxpayers. This wasn’t America's birthday party. It was Trump's, & you're paying for the cake.

We're calling for Congress to investigate OpenAI after reports of a second company’s data being compromised by the rogue OpenAI agent. This type of autonomous hack is unprecedented. We demand to know how this happened & what is being done to ensure it never happens again.

The Senate is postponing a vote on AG nominee Todd Blanche Blanche was previously Trump’s personal lawyer. He helped Trump create his taxpayer-funded slush fund. He oversaw the botched release of the Epstein files. Blanche is not fit to lead the DOJ.

The number of Amazon workers on Medicaid and food stamps nearly TRIPLED since 2020. Uber, DoorDash, and Instacart drivers now top the food stamp list. In other words: your taxes are covering what billionaires won't pay in living wages. This is disgusting and inhumane.

Grok generated nonconsensual deepfake images. An Open-AI agent autonomously hacked a startup. The current "self-regulated" AI industry is not working. It's time for Congress to step up & create a comprehensive federal AI safety framework to protect Americans.

The DOJ has admitted to violating the law regarding the release of the Epstein files. As Acting Attorney General, Todd Blanche ALREADY violated the law. And this is who we're supposed to trust to lead the DOJ?! Hell no. Congress must vote NO on Blanche's confirmation.

Turn up the heat?! Measles cases have already reached a 35-year high. This unscientific bs is going to kill people.

A story in 3 parts: 1. Trump's DOJ tried to force NYT reporters to reveal the sources behind their reporting on his Qatari-gifted plane. 2. A federal judge called the subpoenas a “profound First Amendment” violation. 3. They folded rather than face the ruling. Disgusting & un-American.

My first piece in @us.theguardian.com. Next time you hear a climate disaster described as a crime, remember that this isn’t just rhetoric. These really are crimes -- reckless endangerment, risking catastrophe, manslaughter. It’s time we treated them that way. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

It’s time to prosecute climate crimes – with laws that already exist | Aaron Regunberg

Some have called for Nuremberg-style trials against big oil. But there are laws already on the books to describe companies’ conduct

Just a friendly reminder that the American people didn’t approve of starting this war. And they definitely didn't approve of footing the ever-growing bill for a war with no clear end in sight. This is a shameful seizure of taxpayer dollars.

Trump accepted $2M from a South Korean firm currently under investigation by the Department of Commerce. Where is the money going, you ask? Apparently towards a vague “golf course project.” Are you catching his grift? 👀

Hegseth banned hormone therapy for transgender troops... Then launched a new initiative pushing testosterone therapy for everyone else. Now, a federal judge wants him to explain the difference. (Hint: there isn’t one.)
