Consumers are being misled with deceptive telehealth ads for weight loss drugs on their phones, social feeds, and TVs. Following the @US_FDA's recent crackdown on ads, our petition calls on the @FTC to exercise its authority to keep patients safe. See: ow.ly/FoA350X0WGY

Safety delayed is safety denied. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has postponed updates to its Five-Star Safety Rating Program, leaving consumers without critical information to compare vehicle safety. ow.ly/PKIg50X0zvc

Each year 54K Americans suffer table saw injuries, including 4K amputations. Yet the FTC wants to roll back safety standards. NCL’s Sally Greenberg: “It is outrageous that the FTC would put the profits of table saw manufacturers over the safety of American workers and families.” ow.ly/p2ka50WZFZQ

Not all weight loss drugs are what they seem. Millions have been misled into believing compounded GLP-1s are safe for weight loss, with over 1,150 adverse events already reported. NCL is calling for stronger regulations to stop fraud and protect consumers. ow.ly/bgcY50WScSt

Middle & low-income Americans are losing faith in the economy. Sentiment fell nearly 6% in August as families cut back on food, clothes, and car repairs, while the wealthy keep spending on luxuries. When millions cannot afford basics as others live in excess, the system is failing. ow.ly/VaEf50WQzzt

Prescription drug costs keep rising while pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) profit in the shadows. NCL led a letter with 30+ orgs urging the Department of Labor to rein in #PBM practices, demand transparency, and put patients, employers, and consumers first. Read our letter: ow.ly/izC150WNCPc

Imagine when women couldn’t vote. Just 105 years ago today, the 19th Amendment was certified after decades of organizing, protest, and hard-fought wins in Congress and the states. This anniversary reminds us that women’s rights are hard-won, not guaranteed.

The NCL team took a moment to recharge—with a lunch cruise on the Odyssey! 🌊 While our work advocating for consumers and workers never stops, a little time together on the water was the perfect way to refuel and reconnect.

💰Pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) made $7.3B in profits last year, while many patients struggle to afford their medicines. That’s not cost-saving — that’s exploitation. We need real reform and transparency in how our medications are priced. It's time to rethink the role of PBMs: ow.ly/4FPg50Wf54W

Medical debt is rising while hospitals profit from a program meant to help patients afford medications. Congress must act to get the 340B Drug Pricing Program back on track. #340BReform

🚨Counterfeit GLP-1s are flooding the market. @nabp's Josh Bolin warned during Wednesday's @HouseCommerce hearing: “That’s really, really scary when you think that people are injecting these [counterfeits] into their body.” Learn more via the NCL's #WeightTruth: www.weight-truth.org

WATCH: The 340B Drug Pricing Program was designed to help patients, but instead, it's padding the profits of big hospitals and other healthcare entities. NCL is urging Congress to bring transparency, accountability, and oversight to 340B.

📢 78% of Oregonians agree: #340B savings should help patients—not disappear into hospital backroom budgets. As HB 2385 threatens to expand a system lacking transparency, we’re urging @govtinakotek.bsky.social to veto & stand with patients. See where Oregon and other states stand: ow.ly/aQoU50W5F1l

🥗 Food is part of every moment—but behind every bite is a safety system you rarely see. #WorldFoodSafetyDay is June 7. 48 million get sick from foodborne illness each year. We need stronger oversight, not less. NCL has fought for food safety since 1899. ow.ly/pCKA50W4nV

The #340B program was created to help patients afford medicine—not secretly boost hospital profits. HB 2385 would expand a system that already lacks transparency and oversight. Oregon needs accountability. @govtinakotek.bsky.social, stand with patients and #VetoHB2385. #ORleg

Today consumer advocates from across the country and workers at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau held a press conference to warn of the harm HR1 would inflict on our communities across the country. #DefendCFPB

Tomorrow is #WorldNoTobaccoDay and we are marking the day by asking everyone to write to their member of Congress and demand an end to dangerous #ChildLabor on U.S. #tobacco farms. 23 House members and 3 Senate members say "enough is enough." www.enduschildlabor.org/take-action-...

We're grateful for @durbin.senate.gov and @delauro.house.gov for demanding a stop to #ChildLabor on toxic #tobacco farms. You can help end this scourge by contacting your member of Congress. Takes one minute. www.enduschildlabor.org/take-action-...

Friends, please help us ban #childlabor in US #tobacco, where children as young as 12 harvest a crop with the known neurotoxin nicotine. Write to your member of Congress to ban children working in tobacco fields. Takes a minute. www.enduschildlabor.org/take-action-...

Welcome to our #BlueSkyStorm aimed at banning #ChildLabor in US tobacco, a sector in which kids as young as 12 suffer from the exposure of nicotine, a known neurotoxin.

🛑 Oregon just became the 15th state to ban child marriage—no exceptions. It’s our 3rd win in 2025, after Missouri and DC. But 35 states still allow it. This is a human rights crisis. Every child deserves protection. Tell your lawmakers: end child marriage. No loopholes.

State lawmakers are helping Trump's far-right, anti-worker agenda by passing state laws that intentionally conflict with federal worker protections. Their goal is to build political pressure, state by state, for getting rid of nationwide worker protections altogether: www.epi.org/blog/coordin...

NEW POLL: A majority of surveyed Americans support #340B reforms that ensure patients—NOT hospitals—benefit from drug discounts. 78% of them want to see 340B savings help patients afford their drugs. See what else the public had to say: bit.ly/ncl-poll-340...

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has returned $21 BILLION to consumers—so why are Trump, Musk, and their allies trying to gut it? Because they want that money to fund tax cuts for billionaires over hardworking American people. Keep your grubby #PawsOffCFPB! @nteu335.bsky. social

🚨 #Parents -- If we lose the #CPSC, who will keep American children safe from hazardous toys and other products that kill and injure kids? What can YOU do? Contact your members of Congress and urge them to save the Consumer Product Safety Commission. @consumerfed.bsky.social @autosafety.org

The Trump admin is eyeing a plan to eliminate the Consumer Product Safety Commission. That’s not reform — it’s a direct threat to public safety. 159 orgs are pushing back hard. Read the press release and letter here: nclnet.org/159-advocate...

Thank you Trista Hamsmith, Brett Horn, and Linda Kaiser, for your tireless advocacy on product safety. You turned your personal tragedy into activism and have saved lives as a result. Thank you for sharing your stories and for your support of the work of @USCPSC

Honored to join Consumer Reports, @nationalconsumers.bsky.social, @schakowsky.house.gov & @blumenthal.senate.gov to denounce the potential elimination of the #CPSC. "The CPSC has saved countless lives by making sure the products in our homes, in our children’s hands, and on store shelves are safe"
