Smithsonian removes references to Trump impeachments at history exhibit Changes at National Museum of American History come amid president’s push to reshape US cultural agencies

Rewriting history to fit the narrative of those in power is a very dangerous, slippery slope.

Trump just slashed $158 million from gun violence prevention programs. These life-saving programs are proven methods that stop violence before it starts and are supported by the police.

But Trump’s priority isn’t to keep us safe or to reduce crime – it’s to appease MAGA.

In Game-Changing Climate Rollback, E.P.A. Aims to Kill a Bedrock Scientific Finding The proposal is President Trump’s most consequential step yet to derail federal climate efforts and appears to represent a shift toward outright denial of the scientific consensus.

Trump’s EPA is revoking the scientific finding that gives the government legal authority to fight climate change and regulate greenhouse gas emissions. That’s like trying to revoke the law of gravity.

The Trump administration cares more about the giant corporations than our future.

Senate Approves Trump’s Pick for Top Counterterrorism Post Joe Kent, a former Army Green Beret, had attracted scrutiny over his associations with extremist groups and his promotion of conspiracy theories.

This week, Senate Republicans voted to confirm a white nationalist and conspiracy theorist with ties to dangerous extremists to lead the National Counterterrorism Center.

THIS is where their priorities lie.

Trump accounts are a 'backdoor for privatizing Social Security,' Treasury secretary says Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent touted President Trump's new savings accounts for babies as a "backdoor for privatizing Social Security."

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is coming for your Social Security.

He’s trying to privatize Social Security – putting your retirement money at risk in the stock market and robbing Americans of the security they deserve and paid for.

US placed on rights watchlist over health of its civil society under Trump International non-profit Civicus says β€˜sustained attacks on civic freedoms’ put US on par with El Salvador and Kenya

Six months into Trump’s second term, the U.S. has landed on a global watchlist for attacks on civil society.

Peaceful protesters face military force, and journalists are attacked and silenced. Our freedoms are being eroded.

It’s on all of us to continue to speak out in defense of our democracy.

Tariffs likely to drive up U.S. prices even with Trump trade deals, experts say With the Trump administration setting 15% as a floor for tariffs, companies and economists are warning of higher prices later this year.

While Trump claims his tariffs will be paid for by foreign exporters, working American families actually pay the price.

A new study projected Trump’s tariffs will drive up U.S. prices over the next two years.

This is NOT putting the American people first.

Republicans gutted Medicaid reimbursements for Planned Parenthood, resulting in five clinics in Northern California shutting down. Essential medical care for 2 million people is at direct risk. I’m responding by leading a bill with 130+ cosponsors to fight back.

Republicans gutted Medicaid and put Medicare at risk with their Big Ugly Bill.

60 years since Democratic President Lyndon B. Johnson established Medicare and Medicaid, we must again take action.

Urge Congress to reverse these cruel cuts and protect healthcare for millions:

Cutting another $1 billion used to better prepare for disasters and bolster security against possible terror or cyberattacks is reckless, irresponsible, and puts all Americans at risk.
