So disgustingly true

Dozens of scientists find errors in a new Energy Department climate report More than 85 scientists say that a recent U.S. Department of Energy report is full of errors and misrepresents climate science.

Last night, Russia launched one of the largest drone and missile strikes on Ukraine, targeting government buildings and civilian homes alike.

Once again, the Kremlin is mocking diplomacy, trampling international law and killing indiscriminately.

And with Trump openly tying deployments to his personal need for “appreciation,” this move looks far less about security and far more about authoritarianism.

Reminder - event today!

We hope to see you there.

Ranking Member Warren's statement on May 2025 PCE:

Tesla should replace Elon with an AI. Just think of all the money they’d save. And, it sure couldn’t do any worse.

I fell in love with the Cerulean Sea books. Adding this one to my wishlist!

Beautiful!

A graphic with a red background and torn paper effect at the top, titled “NOW, IT’S OUR TURN.” It features three key messages with matching icons: a megaphone next to “We’re fighting back against these cuts that will devastate our already endangered species,” a raised fist next to “We need everyone in this fight,” and a link icon next to “Link in bio to find ways to take action.” At the bottom, a dark blue banner reads “THE SUMMER FIGHT FOR SCIENCE – THE TIME IS NOW,” with the Stand Up for Science logo and silhouettes of the Statue of Liberty.

Donald Trump cut funding for cancer research by 31% in the first three months of his term.

This is an attack on every American family who has loved someone with cancer.

Believe!

Another unvaccinated child has died from measles. While my microbiology lectures in 2 weeks will be lively (with both measles and pertussis trending in the US), this death and all of the illness is preventable. This is horrific and infuriating.

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

Attention Denver, Chicago, Dallas, Kansas City, Atlanta, Boston, Seattle, San Francisco, Philadelphia:
