Pressley, Napolitano Call for Research on Mental Health for Formerly Incarcerated People

Another late night in Congress thanks to Republicans who just passed a shameful rescissions package that guts public broadcasting and critical foreign aid.

The shame and sham of it all. I voted NO.
Republicans’ CLARITY Act green lights crypto schemes, emboldens Trump’s crypto corruption, & lacks critical consumer protections.

The American people deserve crypto legislation that is fair, transparent, & accountable.

The CALAMITY* Act fails that test.
The CFPB was created to protect consumers & prevent another financial crisis like the one in 2008.

It has since returned $21B to victims of predatory financial practices.

By gutting the CFPB & Dodd-Frank, the GOP are prioritizing big bank profits over the wellbeing of everyday people.
We cannot allow AI to go unchecked, unregulated, and be the latest chapter in America’s history of exploiting marginalized groups.

That’s why we must invest in an approach rooted in equity that protects the rights of everyone.
Since Dobbs, abortion bans have cost folks’ their lives, worsened the Black maternal health crisis & pushed essential care out of reach.

Now Republicans are gutting Medicaid, defunding Planned Parenthood & moving us closer to a nationwide abortion ban.

The cruelty is the point.
