This campaign won’t be funded by billionaires or corporate PACs. It’s powered by working people.
If you’re ready to take back our state, chip in today:

“Even when Schumer and centrist Democrats have been dealt a strong hand, these are the sort of players who would fold a royal flush.”
If the Senate Dems surrender to Republicans after having all the momentum - let there be no doubt who were responsible for caving. 👇🏻

This video is devastating. Imagine dropping your child off at daycare, only to learn that ICE took a beloved caregiver in front of the children minutes after. Imagine going to work to care for beloved children, only to be ripped away from them and your own family by ICE.

Chicago journalist Debbie Brockman, who was thrown to the ground & handcuffed by ICE, has been released without charges
DHS said she assaulted an officer, but eye witnesses claim she didn’t
The lack of charges makes it clear that ICE is lying to try and cover up the fact that they attack the press

Our nation's federal employees are more than just numbers on a spreadsheet.
They make sure we have clean water.
They protect us from financial fraud.
They provide healthcare to our communities.
They make our government actually work for people.
Do not forget this.

The campaign against “antifa” is about establishing a beachhead for further attacks on speech and assembly rights. We see that today in the effort to preemptively label No Kings protesters as “terrorists.”

There are both valid reasons not to RSVP and strong reasons that it can be beneficial for everyone. This piece includes both thought-provoking questions and valuable ideas for anyone who attends or organizes protests. The most important rule? We keep each other safe. #teslatakedown #MuskMustFall

Apropos of nothing, I would like to point out that large companies whose business model is "serve words to the public" will typically pay between US $.10 and $3.00 per word. So when you give words to a company for free, you are in fact paying them a LOT of money.

The very first statute authorizing domestic use of the military during domestic emergencies, enacted in 1792 by a Congress full of the same folks who wrote and ratified the Constitution, expressly provided for judicial review in certain circumstances *before* the President could even send troops.

US farmers are saying they "just need temporary help, until things get better."
Here's the thing. US farm exports- which are mostly soy- CANNOT get better.
Other countries expanded their soy industries to fill China's demand.
We've walled ourselves out of the global market, folks. This is it.
