Food costs, health care and housing costs, are already at an all-time high.

Instead of working to lower these expenses, Republicans want to give billionaires and big corporations yet another tax break.

That’s just not right.

NEW: We joined over 160 organizations in sending a letter to Congress demanding they reject the Defund Our Communities Act.

This bill would allow critical federal funding to be cut from hundreds of cities and states if they refuse to carry out the president's radical deportation agenda.

DOGE recommended firing workers at:

-FDA, which oversees Neuralink

-FAA, which oversees SpaceX

-USAID, which probed Starlink

-CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X.

Get busy! Start good trouble. We can’t wait
