Juneteenth celebrates the emancipation of enslaved people and serves as a reminder of America's history with racism, injustice, and suffering.
Even as this administration attempts to erase this history, we must confront and learn from it to build a better future.
NEW: Internal spending reviews at USDA and OMB slowed the federal government's response to the New World screwworm, a flesh-eating pest that threatens the U.S. cattle industry.

I welcome efforts to negotiate an end to the war in Iran, but the MOU lays bare the failure of the President's strategy.
It's worse than what was on offer before the US-Israeli bombing campaign and fails to improve on the Iran deal he so foolishly cast aside.
My statement:
The HSI and HHS OIG operation targeting these organizations is deeply concerning, but consistent with this administration's efforts targeting entities that don't align with Stephen Miller’s agenda.
I will push for oversight of these actions in Congress.
As screwworm continues to spread, Trump's USDA is prioritizing firing and relocating the public servants responsible for containing this outbreak instead of investing in the infrastructure needed to control it and prevent it from happening again.

Muharram Mubarak to everyone celebrating! May this year bring you and your family peace and love!

The U.S. directly benefits from public health breakthroughs like this because we’ve built world-class scientific institutions and empowered experts to do their work.
We can accomplish more by strengthening those institutions rather than starving them of funding and talent.

@supportkind.org, Ayuda, and the Amica Center provide legal services through a congressionally authorized and appropriated program that has long had bipartisan support.

Have you been annoyingly paying for Trump's vanity projects in Washington, DC?
If you've visited a national park lately, you have. And you didn't even get a say.
