ICE raided a downtown LA garment warehouse, arresting fourteen garment workers. Many of those detained were the primary breadwinner for young children and elderly relatives. Would you consider donating to help these families? Money is going to food, rent, childcare, and medicine.
Allies, Please see this fundraiser for 14 families of the detained workers from Ambiance Apparel, a garment warehouse and store. They're raising funds for their bonds and for the families left without their primary breadwinners. gofundme.com/f/urgent-aid-fo…

Thank you senator!
President Trump and Elon Musk’s funding cuts to groundbreaking medical research do NOT Make America Great. That’s why I’m on the Senate floor introducing a resolution pledging support for NIH & asking for immediate passage. Watch. xitter.cf/i/broadcasts/1lDxLzWgw…

This will have huge negative implications on biomedical research in the US and our ability to stay at the forefront of innovation.
Last year, $9B of the $35B that the National Institutes of Health (NIH) granted for research was used for administrative overhead, what is known as “indirect costs.” Today, NIH lowered the maximum indirect cost rate research institutions can charge the government to 15%, above what many major foundations allow and much lower than the 60%+ that some institutions charge the government today. This change will save more than $4B a year effective immediately.
