Walmart and Navy Federal Credit Union were investigated for scamming consumers, but now they’re thanking Donald Trump for letting them off the hook.

Instead of lowering costs like he promised, Trump is standing in the way of cheated Americans getting their money back.

Machine guns are weapons of war that have absolutely no place in our communities. This dangerous backroom deal puts whole communities at immediate serious risk.

When this technology is used in a shooting, this administration will be directly responsible for the loss of life.
Exclusive: The Trump Adm. has decided to permit the sale of "forced reset trigger" devices that enable regular firearms to fire like machine guns, a move that one person familiar with the matter said was “by far the most dangerous thing this administration has done” on gun policy.

Over the last 10 years, the prices for the bottom third of homes have increased 124%. 

It’s time Congress passes bills like my Stop Wall Street Landlords Act, and help younger Americans afford homes and build wealth.

Are you a woman who changed your name when you got married?

Congress is considering a bill that could make it much harder for you to vote.

I don’t think people are paying enough attention to the fact that the North Carolina court of appeals just ruled that 65,000 votes don’t count, and that the Republican Supreme Court candidate who lost actually won.

This will be appealed, but make no mistake: they’re trying to steal this election.

The SAVE Act doesn’t save anything. Its main effect is to make it harder for women to vote, especially those like me who changed our names when we married.

Trump wants to give almost $5 trillion in tax handouts to billionaires and billionaire corporations — paid for on the backs of seniors, veterans, public workers, and little kids.

I had to compose myself before posting—because this breaks a part of my soul.

If you’re a contractor with a segregation policy, say it loud—so non-white dollars don’t fund your business. It won’t go how you think.

And if anyone uncovers businesses doing this, put them on blast.

CALLS ARE WORKING - it has bought us precious time, but we NEED to keep the pressure up.

Tomorrow is the cloture vote.

KEEP CALLING: (202) 224-3121 ☎️☎️☎️

Tell your Dem Senator to vote NO on Cloture and NO on the Republican spending bill.

Do NOT assume your Senator will be good on this. Trust me.
🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave.

Tell them:
1. Vote NO on Cloture
AND
2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill.

Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it.

TODAY is the showdown.
