One thing I've come to learn is that nothing good will last forever. Every so often, we all have to relearn what previous generations learned in the past. We will never be done fighting for good and the rule of law. It sucks!

Swing voters are often characterized as “moderate,” even though every election shows us more and more that they’re really “change voters.” They’re not loyal to any ideology, they want something different, because the status quo isn’t working.

Haley Pavone embodies the American Dream. She made an innovative product, built a successful business from the ground up, and helped created jobs. But Trump’s reckless tariffs are putting it all at risk. I spoke to Haley about the immediate and devastating effects of these tariffs.

I actually think I know the answer to this, more or less
It was "we want to vote for Trump but we know he's a monster, so we need a way to tell ourselves that Hillary is a monster, too"

They made the Hillary Clinton email server the number one most mentioned issue of the 2016 campaign. Clearly the concern about securing classified info was insincere!
So what was it all about then?

Two takeaways from this:
1. Protecting Medicaid isn’t a partisan issue.
2. Speaking out matters. These Republicans felt the pressure from brave people across the country sharing their stories.
Let’s keep up the pressure and keep working together to protect Medicaid and save lives.

Big news for the northwoods: Senator Tina Smith just introduced a bill to permanently protect over 225,000 acres near the Boundary Waters from copper-sulfide mining. It’s the first Boundary Waters protection bill in the Senate in nearly 50 years. Hands Off the Boundary Waters!

Overdraft fees are the worst…unless you’re a Republican in Congress. Today, House Republicans are pushing a bill to let big banks charge whatever they want for overdraft fees, overturning a $5 cap.
