REMINDER: The Trump administration’s war in Iran has raised prices across the board, increased inflation, and costs about $2,000 per household.

[Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer]

READ THIS🚨 From a ballroom, to a birthday parade: New reports say Trump has devoted $1.6 BILLION in taxpayer money to fund his self-serving vanity projects.

That’s 620 times what the average American earns in a lifetime.

Americans are struggling to make ends meet, and Trump is treating them as his personal ATM.

Despite campaign promises, Trump and RFK Jr. have repeatedly failed to deliver meaningful action on harmful chemicals and pesticides, while undermining independent scientific recommendations and siding with corporate interests.

Calley Means, a top ally of Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., has quit the Trump administration amid White House delays in enacting some of the food policies top health officials were seeking. https://t.co/g7tgf0Y0qt

Review CAP's bold agenda on the path forward for healthier and safer lives: https://t.co/rMPuWseeCm (3/3)

[Center for American Progress @amprog]

🧵 Across the political spectrum, Americans are concerned about the health and safety of their families. (1/3)

[Center for American Progress @amprog]

Simply put, corporate industry wields too much power over the regulatory system—and political leaders for decades have ignored these problems. It is time to remove political and industry interference from scientific health recommendations once and for all. (2/3)

As more employers adopt AI-powered technologies, workers will need greater control over how new tech affects their jobs. During past tech advancements, workers who negotiated collective bargaining agreements:

✅ Had better employment and wage outcomes
✅ Prevented or minimized layoffs from automation or outsourcing
✅ Secured employment protection and retraining benefits

NEW: A real plan for healthy food and fewer chemicals. Trump and RFK betrayed MAHA; our polling finds that **NEARLY 40%** of Trump voters are open to voting for a Democrat with this agenda. 👀

[Topher Spiro @TopherSpiro]

We need to get corporate and political influence out of the White House and agencies. More than 80% of Americans want stricter regulation of chemicals, food additives, and pesticides. @amprog

[Center for American Progress @amprog]

NEW REPORT: CAP’s science-based plan would remove corporate and political influence from regulatory agencies, guarantee food safety, protect Americans from harmful chemicals in everyday products, and empower families to make healthy choices. https://t.co/roK7elWVr8

Auto-individual retirement account plans are a good first step toward ensuring all workers have retirement savings, but most states do not offer such programs. Congress can build on state auto-IRA programs to make meaningful steps toward greater retirement security. https://t.co/Ml4X4I7TO4

At a time when 1 in 5 student loan borrowers is in default, new student loan policies ushered in by congressional Republicans' One Big Beautiful Bill Act will drastically increase monthly student loan costs and eliminate important safety net protections for borrowers. https://t.co/NOXHrJEfZp

We’re currently seeing the largest and deadliest measles outbreak in decades thanks to years of RFK Jr sowing doubt in the safety of vaccines. Americans are dying. It never had to be this way.
