Destroying endangered species' habitat wouldn't count as 'harm' under proposed Trump rule
The Trump administration is reinterpreting a key word in the Endangered Species Act that could have big consequences for the habitats of species at risk.
For the bees, the northern spotted owls, the Atlantic sturgeon, and over 1,700 other species around the world, the Endangered Species Act has been a haven. Let's continue to protect our shared home, this Great Earth.

In 1990, thousands of Americans with disabilities decided to stop waiting for elected officials to act. Their efforts changed the minds โ and the votes โ of elected officials and resulted in the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act.
We canโt wait for our leaders to act. We have to lead.

Protect Dreamers! Pass the Dream and Promise Act!
Text SIGN PFHLEY to 50409 โ I understand that a bipartisan group of lawmakers has just reintroduced the Dream and Promise Act โ a bill that could provide more than two million Dreamers, DACA recipients, and TPS holders with a pathway to citizenship. This bill would be a huge step forward at a critical moment for communities across the U.S. and I strongly support it.
For more than 12 years, we have all witnessed the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA program, become an overwhelming success: it has allowed nearly a million Dreamers to work legally, support their families, and contribute more fully to nearly every sector of our economy, free from the threat of deportation. But DACA was never intended as a permanent solution. Congressional action was always needed, but tragically Congress still has not passed legislation.
Meanwhile, the DACA program remains under threat and could be ended by the Supreme Court. Without Congress passing legislation, all Dreamers and DACA recipients are at risk.
The Dream and Promise Act is a common-sense, bipartisan solution that would strengthen families, grow our economy, and honor the contributions of Dreamers, DACA recipients, and TPS holders. Business leaders, community advocates, and an overwhelming majority of Americans agree โ itโs well past time to get this done. Please act now to protect individuals and families from deportation and stop the harm to our economy. Pass the Dream and Promise Act! Thanks.

Weโve been hearing from many you that when you call your reps about the budget resolution, Republican staffers are now pushing back to claim the budget does NOT cut Medicaid, Medicare, SNAP, etc. Clearly a memo went out to all Republicans to have their staff gaslight their constituents... (1/x)
