More than ever we need our votes to matter

We need our hard work advocating for causes and campaigns to matter

Too much money in politics is drowning out our voices

It started with the Citizens United Supreme Court decision

Our voices should matter more than money in a healthy democracy

BREAKING: The National Treasury Employees Union is suing the Trump administration.

They're suing over Trump's "schedule F" order that that makes it easier to fire career federal workers.

The union's president says, “This order is about administering political loyalty tests."

To offset the costs of extending Trump's Tax Scam for the rich, House Republicans are proposing cuts to food stamps, social services and Medicaid.

It's absolutely shameless and disgusting.

The US just revoked an executive order aimed at making EV sales 50% by 2030. “The US will not sabotage our own industries while China pollutes with impunity,” Trump said.

But China is already stomping the US in EV sales. This decision will widen the gap.

Best thing our allies can remember: if you stand up to Trump you intimidate him and he will back down. If you crawl to him (like his sycophantic politicians) he will not respect you and will eventually throw you under the bus.

And there you have it. Little men playing to the insecurities of other little men by claiming “masculinity is being targeted“, when really it’s all about the almighty dollar.

And the testosterone deficient little men fell for it again.
