Remember: If unions didn’t matter, powerful corporations wouldn’t spend millions of dollars every year to stop workers from organizing. Keep up the fight.

Hey Sec Rollins, if the goal is to “put farmers and ranchers first,” maybe you should pay growers all the money you owe them and increase funding for agricultural research to support them, rather than decimating it 🤷🏻‍♀️

This is getting fewer headlines than it should. After coming to power promising to help working people, the president is revealing his real priorities by actively making it easier for banks to rip people off.

Reminder: Tariffs aren't paid by other countries.

They're eventually paid by us at the check out line.

And they're regressive — taking a higher percentage out of the paychecks of working people than out of the wealthy.

Trump's tariffs are running the economy into the ground. 

Congress can reverse them—but instead, Republicans are full steam ahead on their disastrous plan to give more tax breaks to billionaires.

The Republican Party platform is pro-billionaire and pro-recession.

It should be obvious to all that Trump isn’t joking about the possibility of a third term - 22nd Amendment be damned.

January 6th showed he doesn’t respect constitutional bounds. His current administration is testing constitutional limits across the board.

Cool so what happens if GOP attach a national abortion ban to a CR? You'll vote for that too?

My YES vote is *not* an endorsement of this deeply flawed CR.

My YES vote is 💯 about refusing to shut our government down.

I refuse to punish working families and plunge millions of Americans into chaos.

The GOP and Trump continuing resolution can be summed up like this:
