Trump’s military force in Iran is not only unlawful—it’s reckless. CAP’s @andrewpmiller.bsky.social explains the consequences for the American people:

The DoD’s battle with Anthropic makes clear how urgently we need Congress to pass strong protective regulations on AI. More from CAP's Frank Kendall in @nytimes.com: https://tinyurl.com/4m6659ps

At President Trump’s urging, Congress is intent on passing an even more extreme version of the SAVE Act. No matter what the far right calls these “show your papers” bills, millions could still be silenced at the ballot box. https://ampr.gs/4rMkcpS

Trump’s voters have made clear they don’t support regime-change wars — and now we know he lied to them when he promised peace. More from CAP's Damian Murphy for @notusperspectives.bsky.social: https://tinyurl.com/4e9fcruz

Join us TODAY at 1:15 ET for an update on military actions in Iran. CAP experts will assess the implications of the Trump administration's intervention for Iran's nuclear program, regime stability, and broader U.S. interests. http://rsvp2.americanprogress.org/anupdateonmilitaryactionsinira/social

Are the Iran strikes a good idea? No. The war is unnecessary and illegal. Chaos will follow, writes @ivodaalder.bsky.social. It’s highly uncertain. The path to a stable new Iran will likely be long and messy, argues Suzanne Maloney. And more: www.notus.org/perspectives...

"If developers are forced to cancel their projects because of this freeze, ratepayers across 15 states and Washington, D.C., would have to pay close to an additional $100 every year, on average, for the next 10 years on their electricity bills." More from @americanprogress.bsky.social 👇

The Trump administration is sacrificing the health and lives of Americans as it rolls back environmental safeguards and invites polluters to expose 9.5 million+ people, including 2 million+ kids, to more toxic pollution—all to boost corporate profits.

Today, the United States began what President Donald Trump called “major combat operations” against Iran. In response, Damian Murphy, SVP for National Security & International Policy issued the following statement:

An unprecedented conflict is unfolding right now between AI giant Anthropic and the U.S. Department of Defense. At stake is whether an American company can set terms of service for its own products—or whether the Trump administration gets to decide otherwise. https://ampr.gs/46uwbQf

CAP's expert, Greta Bedekovics, answers the most googled questions about the anti-voter SAVE Act and the SAVE America Act.

The Trump administration has made it clear that their position is one of American AI dominance. However, it turns out that said dominance includes over American AI companies too. https://www.americanprogress.org/article/the-trump-administration-is-trying-to-make-an-example-of-the-ai-giant-anthropic/

The new report from @americanprogress.bsky.social and Justice Outside, reveals the persistence of the nature gap in the U.S., where communities of color are 3x more likely than white communities to live in nature-deprived areas. Read the report here: www.americanprogress.org/article/the-...

MUST WATCH: Rep. Derrick Van Orden (R-WI) IGNORES this Wisconsin teacher's concerns about rising costs and the impact Trump's tariffs have on his community.

It's unpatriotic for the Trump administration to intentionally censor and rewrite Black history on National Park Service sites. Black history is American history.

Fossil fuel subsidies don't lower your energy bills—they pad Big Oil's profits. https://www.americanprogress.org/article/5-hidden-ways-the-government-rigs-the-market-in-favor-of-fossil-fuels/

Despite what Trump in his SOTU address, our economy isn’t “roaring” — it’s straining working-class families already struggling to make ends meet. More from @sagewarner.bsky.social in @msmagazine.com: https://tinyurl.com/3semhehv

The rise in cellphone use among kids is harming their learning and mental well-being—and some states are limiting or fully banning cellphone use in schools. 📵

In his State of the Union, Trump boasted about a roaring economy, falling inflation and a richer and stronger nation. But those claims ring hollow for many Americans.

The Trump administration’s latest attack on offshore wind construction threatens to cost ratepayers almost $100 more on their utility bills every year for the next decade, on average, for a total of $45 billion. https://ampr.gs/4aLO5PK

President Trump claims to be a “champion for the American worker,” yet the first year of his administration resulted in fewer jobs created, slowing wage growth, and rising costs for working-class Americans.

CAP's @bbkogan.bsky.social explains the reality of Trump's Big Beautiful Bill: it's a giant tax cut for the richest Americans.

@repcasar.bsky.social is right—Trump is cashing in on the presidency while millions of Americans are struggling to pay their bills.

Trump concluded his #SOTU address where he started: our nation’s 250th birthday. Yet every day he is building an imperial presidency that hurts Americans and damages our experiment in democracy.

Is replacing all income taxes with tariffs mathematically possible? No. And even if you could, it would be terrible for everyone but the rich. Check out our interactive at @americanprogressaction.org: www.americanprogressaction.org/article/comp...

Childhood hunger is on the rise. 1 in 5 kids are food insecure. All of this in order to fund ICE detention centers that abuse kids and give tax breaks to the rich.

From the military intervention in Venezuela to Trump’s threats to seize Greenland from a NATO ally, our “Trump Global Weakness Watch” tracks 100+ actions from this administration that have undermined American power. https://ampr.gs/3NptpFd

Trump said he'd cut energy prices in half. Electricity is up 13 percent. What gives?

The SAVE act is a scam meant to keep many, particularly women, from voting. It's the last dying breathe of a boys club that must be vanquished.

Trump takes credit for lower crime rates in Washington, DC after sending federal troops last year. Fact check: Since peaking in 2023, D.C. violent crime fell in 2024, before Trump took office, and has continued to fall at similar rates before and after federal intervention.

FACT CHECK: It’s already illegal, difficult, and extremely rare for non-citizens to vote in federal elections, and there’s no proof of widespread voter fraud anywhere in this country. The SAVE Act 2.0 is an attempt to make it harder for American citizens to vote. It’s as simple as that. #SOTU

Parents are a vital part of trans medical care decisions - and always have been. Learn the facts about transgender medical care: www.americanprogress.org/article/tran...

America is a melting pot. The diversity of our country makes it prosperous and strong. Unless you are indigenous, your ancestors were also immigrants at some point. #SOTU

Voter ID policies requiring proof of citizenship (like the SAVE Act) are voter suppression. If enacted, millions of trans people could struggle to vote. Read our analysis here: www.americanprogress.org/article/the-...

The SAVE Act is a *voter suppression bill* that would create new barriers for married women, rural voters, and people without a passport for voting. We should be making it easier, not harder, for people to make their voices heard at the polls. www.americanprogress.org/article/the-...

This is the SAVE Act that Trump is discussing tonight.

Calling the SAVE Act voter ID is a trick. This bill would force Americans to show a passport or birth certificate in person to an election official. ❌ 146 million Americans don’t have a passport ❌ As many as 69 million women don’t have a birth certificate that matches their married name

Trump has done little to curb drug prices. The progress that has been made has been done under a law (IRA) the Biden administration signed. Most people on private insurance have seen little effect. www.factcheck.org/2026/02/trum...

President Trump and his administration have undermined public safety and law enforcement accountability by supporting the dangerous practice of obscuring ICE and federal law enforcement identities. https://ampr.gs/4qW6MWW

Trump has the gall to call out others on corruption — and says he will be waging a so-called “war on fraud.” That’s the height of irony & absurdity, as Trump is overseeing the biggest corruption scams in US history, with unprecedented conflicts of interest. #SOTU @americanprogress.bsky.social

Violence, masked faces, and unidentified agency affiliations: This is the new image of immigration enforcement under the Trump administration. https://ampr.gs/49K5d9o

just gonna re-up this here

Housing costs are at an all-time high, and Trump’s tariffs are making it worse. We did the math and found that tariffs increase building costs and will lead to 450,000 fewer homes being built over the next 5 years. https://ampr.gs/3MFLU7Z

President Trump promised to lower prices on day one, but @vanhollen.senate.gov lays out the true state of our union: Millions of Americans struggling with skyrocketing costs.

If Trump really cared about the "crushing cost of health care," he wouldn't have let premium costs double this year for 20 million Americans who buy coverage on their own. www.americanprogress.org/article/heal...

FACT CHECK: average premium costs for 20 million Americans doubled this year—an entirely preventable consequence of President Trump and Congress’ failure to extend the ACA’s enhanced premium tax credits. https://ampr.gs/47hglcD

Trump continues to lie about his tariffs. American consumers and businesses pay these taxes libertystreeteconomics.newyorkfed.org/2026/02/who-...
