@cantwell.senate.gov Senator, I’d like to ask you to vote No on reconciliation, and state your intention to do so publicly. Sen. Murray has already announced her decision to do so, and as one of your constituents I’d like to ensure my senators are representing my interests and LEADING the charge.

We worked for months with USAID to build an $85,000,000 project to end TB in two regions of the Philippines.
The project is funded by private money, the Philippine government, and matching USAID funds.
It could provide a blueprint for eliminating TB worldwide--except it's...not happening.

Just released memorandum from OPM:
Federal facilities will now have a bathroom ban for transgender people.
It will go into effect on the 31st.
It also has a slew of effects and puts into place the 1st anti-trans EO policies for every agency.
This will have a ton of impacts very quickly.

Medical device exemptions in right to repair laws are common. Companies often argue that independent repair could lead to cybersecurity issues, but they don't provide examples of this happening. It's time to eliminate medical exemptions so hospitals can repair their own gear.
New: The manufacturer of a medical device that costs six figures has told hospitals that they will no longer be allowed to fix them. Hospitals must now sign repair contracts with the manufacturer if they want the device fixed. Repair monopoly in action:

Today in Milan, a student activist group hung a trash-filled effigy of Musk upside down on a gate outside of piazzale Loreto, where Mussolini's body was displayed in 1945.
