Republicans are targeting Planned Parenthood—and other essential providers of women’s healthcare—through Trump’s tax scam. This isn’t about policy; it’s about sneaking an extremist agenda into a massive bill that they know wouldn’t stand on its own.

The GOP knows Trump’s Tax Scam with massive Medicaid cuts is wildly unpopular. That’s why they held their hearing at 1 AM — to hide their bill from the American people. Don’t let them get away with it. If a Republican represents you, demand that they reject this bill: indivisible.org/reso...

Trump’s Tax Scam would trade American lives for billionaire tax breaks.

New estimates show the GOP’s plan would strip Medicaid coverage from seven million people and cause more than 200,000 avoidable deaths.
House Republicans’ Medicaid Cuts and Associated Lives Lost by Congressional District
Proposals to impose work requirements on Medicaid expansion enrollees would cause large coverage losses and hundreds of avoidable deaths each year in many congressional districts.

Most Dems voted against this, including Kim & Warnock who bravely broke with Dem senators from their home states. But shame on the 16 Senate Dems who sided with Trump on this industry-friendly crypto bill. I am just exhausted at this Party's willful incompetence. www.huffpost.com/entry/senate...

Another Project 2025 promise kept by Donald Trump.

His order calls the 2 biggest U.S. public broadcasters that have decades enjoyed bipartisan congressional support "biased."

On April 24, ICE agents broke into a home of a family of US citizens in Oklahoma. The family repeatedly said we are citizens, you have the wrong people. ICE terrorized the family, ripped apart the house.

It's not "other people" that this is happening to. It's us. Open your eyes. Wake the hell up.

In 100 days, we’ve changed the political weather.

We show up because this is how we build a nationwide, unified opposition. And 100 days in, that opposition is far more unified and…well…oppositional than it was in January.

Take a step back and look at how the political winds have shifted.

Before Trump became US president, the Conservative Party held a huge lead in the Canadian polls. A few months later, and Mark Carney's Liberals have stormed to a remarkable election win in Canada.

Robert Reich says a national movement against Trump needs to focus on local, inclusive support with easy entry points for all. Neutral, non-militant language is key to avoiding alienation. Modern communication tools can help organize, and the movement should evolve, gaining more support as it grows.
