Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously.
Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that.

Not surprisingly, Trump’s overall tax and tariff proposals would make the very rich much richer and working families poorer.
If you earn less than $360,000 a year, your taxes are going to go way up.
If you’re in the top 1%? Don’t worry. You’ll save big.

10 years ago, when I introduced a bill to make public colleges & universities tuition free, it was called "radical." Not today. Over 100 colleges & universities now offer free tuition to working class students.
Now, we must expand that idea to all public colleges & universities.

There are ways to help save Social Security without making it extremely difficult for needy people to get the benefits they deserve.
They’re called, “raising the limit on earnings subject to the Social Security payroll tax” and “applying a tax on investment income.”

Musk’s staffers have entered an independent government agency by force. Employees from DOGE are now inside the Washington offices of the United States Institute of Peace. This comes just days after agency representatives were unable to gain access to the building on Friday being blocked by lawyers.

We’re hearing that Republicans will soon bring back the SAVE Act for a vote. This bill is a blatant voter suppression tactic that could block millions of Americans from voting by imposing unnecessary and harmful citizenship verification requirements. Take action now: indivisible.org/resource/cal...

In a total betrayal of their constituents and our democracy, 10 Democrats just voted with Senate Republicans to give Trump and Musk a blank check to continue their coup. @schumer.senate.gov led Democrats to this total surrender. We need strong leadership, not cowards who cave at any GOP pressure.

An absolute failure of Democratic leadership. NOBODY in the Senate should have voted for this dangerous bill.

I'm a hard NO on the Republican spending bill. On cloture. On all of it.
When a wannabe dictator is trying to seize power, it must not be given to him.

They're planning to violate a law they haven't even enacted yet. Why would anyone vote for this? Nobody should!

Every Democrat except Rep. Golden stood united against this extreme MAGA spending bill.
