BEWARE.... The sneaky Republicans knew these cuts would be unpopular..so they DELAYED the cuts to take place until AFTER the 2026 elections!
Don't reward them with your vote!

This is big: elected Republicans in a deep-red state saying NO to Trump even after his personal plea.
The balance is shifting - and we have to keep up the pressure everywhere.

Indiana likely will not push forward with redistricting despite pressure from White House
It’s a massive blow to the White House’s efforts to shore up a Republican House majority next year.

Most Americans agree we need to get money out of politics. If that takes a constitutional amendment, then that's what we have to do. And if that's going to take years, then it's all the more reason to begin pushing now.

81 years ago, FDR proposed a second Bill of Rights to guarantee every American the right to employment, healthcare, education, housing, and a living income. His words are as relevant now as they were then. Watch.

We have reliable direct evidence connecting Donald Trump to Epstein’s underage sex trafficking ring. Trump’s DOJ cover-up of Epstein’s crimes must not continue.
DOJ must release every piece of the Epstein files. No more secrets. The American people, the survivors, and the victims deserve the truth.

Californians voted to redistrict the state in response to Texas Republicans ramming through an unprecedented mid-decade partisan gerrymander.
Now Bondi is suing California — and not Texas — to override the voters.
The blatant and disgusting partisanship from the DOJ is destroying the department.

If Starbucks can spend billions on executive payouts, it can negotiate fair contracts with its workers. The “Red Cup Rebellion” happens when a company chooses to retaliate against those seeking living wages.
I proudly joined the @laborcaucus.house.gov in demanding Starbucks bargain in good faith.

We're standing in solidarity with @sbworkersunited.org as they strike for a first contract ✊
For over 4 years, workers have fought for a fair union contract. It’s time for Starbucks to bargain in good faith and for workers to get the contract they deserve.

Public service isn’t a get-rich-quick scheme.
It’s time to pass the Restore Trust in Congress Act and finally ban lawmakers from trading stocks. The American people deserve to be confident that their representatives are working for them, not their own financial interests.

According to Trump, and the MAGA Congress, America can't afford ACA healthcare subsidies, Medicaid and Medicare...but we have plenty of money to have ICE running rampant in our streets, and money to go to war with Venezuela!

It's called the BiBi plan and we can expect carpet bombing of every major city in Venezuela. Hegseth is so excited he has a viagra chubby
He’s doing all of this to stop the Epstein files. Put a country into a war to stop the truth from coming out about him. My god it must be worse then we even imagine if he’s willing to start a war!! Although if he does he’ll invoke martial law so he can take total control over the US.

Drump says those on SNAP must reapply. Why? There’s already a review system to see if recipients still qualify. All this will do is jam up the program and delay new applicants by months. No end to his cruelty.
