Republicans have been preventing her from speaking for the days now. The Montana Republicans are playing from the exact playbook as Tennessee Republicans weeks ago: when their backs are against the wall, instead of choosing to effectively govern to the will of the people, they'll try to take our voice and our rights entirely. We cannot let this happen. People showed up to elect Rep Zephyr in 2022, and since the GOP are preventing her from speaking, they’re effectively silencing the will and voices of her constituents.

NYU has not divested from fossil fuels… the reason: a ceo from one of the largest fossil fuel investors sits on the board. NYU says they will divest by 2040, we know that is too little too late. We also know this cannot happen with Laurence fink, CEO of Black Rock, one of the biggest fossil fuel investors in the world, sitting on the board of trustees.

Matthew Kacsmaryk, a Trump-appointed judge with a history of crusading against abortion access, just made an unprecedented ruling to ban mifepristone, a drug that for 20 years has been a safe, effective part of abortion medication. This is just the latest in the Republican attacks on abortion access, health care, and bodily autonomy—along with packing the illegitimate Supreme Court to overturn Roe and pursuing cruel measures in state after state to ban and criminalize abortion. It's also the latest in the long plan by Republicans and corporate lobbyists to undermine the work of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). They want to gut the FDA in order to throw out regulations that keep consumers and patients safe, in service of Big Pharma and other corporate lobbyists that want to sacrifice safety to increase profits. The FDA has a mandate to keep us safe and help ensure essential medications reach the market. Without the FDA's ability to do this work, we'll all be less safe. And if Kacsmaryk's ruling stands, it's a blow to the FDA and consumer safety, as well as to the many folks seeking abortion care in a safe, effective way. Higher courts need to overturn this ill-gotten ruling, and Congress needs to act to bolster the work of the FDA—for abortion access and for consumer welfare generally.

The ruling in Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine v. FDA ordering the FDA to withdraw its approval of mifepristone is unconscionable. Mifepristone—approved more than 20 years ago and used effectively by millions of people for medication abortion—is perfectly safe. Anti-abortion extremists are attempting to use the courts to ban abortion nationwide, even in states that have legal protections for abortion access. That's why together we are asking higher courts to reverse this unprecedented and anti-abortion ruling and restore access to mifepristone—and asking Congress to act to protect abortion care.

Matthew Kacsmaryk just issued a national ban on mifepristone, a drug that for 20 years has been a source of safe, effective abortions. This right-wing judge, with deep ties to the Federalist Society, has pursued a right-wing agenda since appointed by Donald Trump. His professional history reflects his crusades against health care, autonomy, freedom, LGBTQ+ equality and more. He is basing his unprecedented decision on his own right-wing religious views, deep partisanship, and personal crusade against abortion access. These are not how our freedoms can be treated. Congress needs to remove him immediately.

Tennessee Republicans abused their power this week by expelling Representatives Justin Jones and Justin Pearson for speaking out about gun violence amid the protests following a deadly massacre in Nashville. Furthermore, by expelling two Black members of the state legislature, Republicans continued a long history of racist attacks against Black legislators. And, in doing so, they violated Rep. Jones and Rep. Person's first amendment rights and violated the law. The Department of Justice should immediately investigate these actions—and Representatives Jones and Pearson should be reinstated, while House Republican leadership should be held accountable for these racially-motivated, authoritarian, anti-democratic actions. It's well established in America that legislators have a right to speak out on issues in the public domain. This is all that Reps. Pearson and Jones—along with their white colleague Rep. Gloria Johnson—were doing in a peaceful manner that met the stakes of the moment while remaining true to democratic principles of civil discourse. By punishing the two Black representatives—and notably not expelling their white colleague—the Tennessee Republicans abused their power, acted in a long racist tradition, and likely violated their rights. At the same time, they violated the trust of hundreds of thousands of Tennesseans who are deprived representation. The Department of Justice has a responsibility to investigate such actions and whether they violate civil rights, first amendment protections, and the principles of our democracy.

Bring Rep. Ciscomani to Tucson for a live town hall with his new constituents. We deserve to question our representative to Congress.

Starbucks' new CEO has a chance to turn the company around and treat workers with respect. Let's call on him to act! Starbucks, like so many corporations, is doing everything in its power to keep workers from winning their union and a fair contract. They know when we stand together, we're more powerful and can win the respect we've earned.

In 2018, the Trump administration rolled back an Obama-era rule, which had required rail companies to upgrade brake systems on trains carrying certain hazardous materials. Norfolk Southern was among a group of rail carriers who opposed this regulation and that contributed more than $6 million to Republican lawmakers in the 2016 election -- the most contributed by the rail industry to one party in over two decades. But that’s not all! Norfolk Southern has spent nearly $80 million on lobbying efforts over the last 25 years, including opposing two-person crew requirements on every train -- a safety measure that workers say is vital to limiting train derailments and that the Trump administration again rejected. In allowing the industry to regulate itself, the Trump administration said “that no regulation of train crew staffing is necessary or appropriate for railroad operations to be conducted safely at this time” and said separately, “the expected costs of requiring ECP brakes would be significantly higher than the expected benefits of the requirement.” It’s up to us to hold greedy corporations accountable to workers and to communities across the country.

Donald Trump and his associates planned, promoted, and paid for a criminal conspiracy that became the January 6 insurrection. According to the U.S. Constitution, that disqualifies him from ever holding office again. Section three of the Fourteenth Amendment, the “insurrection clause,” makes clear that anyone who engaged in attempting to violently overthrow the US government after swearing an oath to protect it is barred from being given that responsibility again. In 2022, a New Mexico county commissioner who was at the January 6 insurrection was kicked out of office when a state court ruled that the insurrection clause barred him from office. And other courts upheld that the insurrection clause was relevant to members of congress, including MAGA Republican Madison Cawthorn, who spoke at Trump's rally on January 6. It applies just as well to people seeking the Oval Office. We need to fight back even harder to hold Trump accountable for his actions to damage our democracy—actions that continue today and are focused on laying the groundwork for his next coup to place him in the White House in 2024 no matter the will of the voters. State elections officials already have the authority and responsibility to bar him from the ballot. And Congress can back them up by passing legislation barring Trump from office under the Fourteenth amendment.
