#Senators Signal They’re Prepared to Push Back Against #NASA Cuts
During a hearing to mark up the Senate’s proposed Commerce, Justice, Science budget, which funds NASA, members of the appropriations committee revealed that their bill would provide the agency with $24.9 billion, roughly the amount it received for 2025.
That’s a sharp departure from President Donald Trump’s budget request for NASA, which called for a 24% decrease to agency’s budget.

Send a direct message to demand your #Senators strip the #AI regulation provision from the budget bill, before it robs us of the ability to regulate #artificialintelligence now. click.actionnetwork.org/ss/c/u

click.actionnetwork.orgStop the 10-Year AI Regulation Ban House Republicans are trying to shut down every state’s ability to respond to the real dangers posed by artificial intelligence. Their so-called “Big Beautiful Bill” would impose a ten-year ban on state and local AI laws, taking away your state’s power to protect voters, workers, patients, and consumers from biased and unregulated AI systems. Hidden inside the House-passed budget bill is a sweeping provision that blocks all state and local governments from enforcing any laws related to AI -- from transparency rules to protections against deepfakes, surveillance, discrimination, and bias in hiring, housing, and healthcare -- if the accept billions in federal funding for expanding broadband internet into rural communities and other under resourced neighborhoods. The impact would be devastating. States like California, Illinois, New York, and Maryland have already passed laws to hold AI systems accountable. This ban would freeze those laws and prohibit any new ones, handing the power to regulate AI entirely to Congress, which has failed to act on this issue for years. States have always been first responders when new technologies pose new risks. From workplace protections to consumer safety to civil rights enforcement, state laws have filled the gaps when Washington failed to act. Taking that power away now, at the exact moment AI is reshaping every part of our lives, is a direct threat to public safety and democratic accountability. This ban isn’t about safety or innovation. It is about power. And it hands total control of AI policy to a broken Congress while silencing every state for the next decade.

Senators need to hear opposition to every part of this ugly bill if we have any hope of stopping it. Send a direct message to your #Senators: Vote NO on HB1. Protect our jobs. #Protect our planet. And bring our power bills down, not up. click.actionnetwork.org/ss/c/u

click.actionnetwork.orgTake Action: Stop the ‘Big Ugly Bill’ Right now, the Senate is considering a huge budget bill that will pull the plug on thousands of planned solar, wind, and clean energy projects, and result in higher electric bills from coast-to-coast. This bill has already passed the House—but there is a good chance that we can stop this anti-clean energy bill in the Senate if we raise our voices. Can you send a message to your Senator to tell them to protect clean power and lower our energy bills by rejecting the HB1 budget bill? This bill has received a lot of attention for its tax cuts for the wealthy and devastating health care cuts. But fewer people know that this bill would set back America’s clean energy economy and raise utility prices! Right now there are thousands of clean energy projects being built across the United States. Solar plants to power homes with the power of the sun. Wind farms providing jobs to rural communities. Battery factories bringing manufacturing back to the Rust Belt. If this bill passes, 331 factories making things like solar panels, heat pumps, and parts for wind turbines could close and America could lose over 400,000 jobs in the clean energy economy. This attack on the clean energy economy would increase your energy bill by $400 a year, all while polluting our air and water. This is the most dangerous attack on clean energy in US history. Can you contact your Senator now and tell them to vote NO on HB1 to protect clean energy and lower our energy bills? Sun Day is a movement to celebrate the power of clean energy. Solar, wind, and other clean power are providing more electricity to the world than ever before, at lower costs than dirty fossil fuels. We need to continue that momentum if we want to create a better future for all of us. Click “START WRITING” to use our simple tool to reach both of your Senators. It only takes a few clicks and has a BIG impact.

This video shows the full footage of the #assault on #SenAlexPadilla. Shocking and unconscionable. I hope he sues. #republican #senators should be asked relentlessly their reaction to this. How they would have responded if President Biden’s #SecretService had done this to a Republican Senator.

Tell your #Senators to reject #Trump's “One Big Beautiful Bill,” its cuts to #Medicaid and #SNAP, and its tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy that will balloon the national debt by nearly $4 trillion! click.actionnetwork.org/ss/c/u

click.actionnetwork.orgTell Your Senators: Oppose Trump's "One Big Beautiful Bill"The so-called “One Big Beautiful Bill” is anything but. This sweeping MAGA legislation would gut Medicaid, slash food assistance, strip funding from Planned Parenthood, and hand billions in tax breaks to billionaires — all while ballooning the national debt by nearly $4 trillion. It passed the House by a single vote. Now it’s headed to the Senate and we have the opportunity to stop it cold. If we flood the Senate with opposition now, we can push enough Senators to vote NO on this dangerous bill. Take action: Click ‘start writing’ to send a letter to your Senators demanding they reject the “One Big Beautiful Bill.”

#Senators to #Noem: Axing review board puts 'lives at risk'
A group of Democratic senators has urged #HomelandSecurity Secretary #KristiNoem to reestablish the Cyber Safety Review Board (#CSRB), which had been investigating how #China's #SaltTyphoon hacked US government and telecommunications networks.

Two things about Trump's deployment of #NationalGuard in #LosAngeles.

1. This was always going to happen, and isn't even the first salvo of the civil war Trump intends to wage against #California. The first was his attempt to drain our #water reservoirs: mastodon.circle.lt/@dmitry/113

2. Timing of this escalation isn't random. Trump's #BigBeautifulBillionaireBonanza bill is at risk. He needs a distraction to help #Republican #Senators pass it without losing their seats in 2026.

Watch the #Senate.

Circle of LightDmitry Borodaenko (@dmitry@mastodon.circle.lt)They still choose to believe this is incompetence. Anyone remember how I told y'all that #Russia's been waging #war on the United States since 2004? Even now, after they started a major war in #Europe, most people think I was fucking hyperbolic. Well, now Trump has started a civil war against #California, and he went straight for California's weakest spot: #water. This is going to cripple our agriculture for years, at least until the next El Niño: https://sjvwater.org/trumps-emergency-water-order-responsible-for-water-dump-from-tulare-county-lakes/

Phone companies failed to warn #senators about surveillance, Wyden says -
POLITICO

Government #surveillance of lawmakers, though legal, raises concerns that members of #Congress cannot effectively legislate when they are being #spied on

Sen. Wyden (D-Ore.) revealed in a new letter to Senate colleagues that #ATT , #Verizon & #TMobile failed to create systems for notifying senators about gov surveillance on Senate-issued devices — despite a requirement to do so.

JOIN ME: Call the #reps who #voted for the Big #Billionaire #Bill to tell them to kiss their careers #goodbye. Wish them hopes & prayers that anyone who #dies from these #cuts sends their #ashes directly to their office in #Congress. If you only have time for one person, make it Rep. Nick #LaLota from #NYC, who was a "No" before Daddy #Trump #punished him with a stern talking to.

Bonus points if you #call your #Senators & threaten them if they #vote yes on this #bill.
