While Trump and Musk are destroying the government programs American families rely on, Republicans in Congress are cheering them on while many Democrats are failing to put up a real fight. They work for us, the American people, and itâs time for some answers.

The White House today blocked the sale of US Steel to Nippon Steel citing national security concerns. Sierra Club has also long cited human security concerns with this deal given Nippon's plans to lock in coal-based iron and steel production until at least 2050.
