The Trump Administration’s changes to the Continuum of Care Program will slash housing funds & push thousands of housed but vulnerable neighbors into the streets. I’m leading a coalition of 32 colleagues demanding answers. We will not get more people off the street by pushing others onto it.

Gratitude to @rokhanna.bsky.social, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and Thomas Massie for their leadership, and to survivors of Epstein predators. The next battle: Donald Trump will refuse to release records pending his launch of new “investigations” vs Dems.

Potentially lifesaving advances at risk when federal funding to universities is cut, researchers say
Federal research funds are at risk as the White House pushes policy changes at universities. Researchers warn the cuts put breakthroughs in medicine, technology and national defense at risk.
Cutting research funding for political gain isn’t just an attack on universities — it’s an attack on innovation and on the lives that depend on it. America can’t lead the world by politicizing the science that saves it.
We need an Innovation Agenda to help us win the 21st century. #Innovation4Good
