Many families would face even steeper consequences. A 60-year-old couple with a household
income of $85,000 in Rep. Doug LaMalfa's district would see their health insurance costs increase

Black history is American history, and the attack on Black history is an attack on American history.

It's right out of the fascist playbook - rewriting and erasing the past so they can control the future.

We stand together to reaffirm #HandOffOurHistory.
We’re partnering with civil rights groups and other allies during the Freedom to Learn Network’s National Week of Action to say #HandsOffOurHistory.

This week, we are focused on fighting back against the erasure of Black history in our libraries, museums, and classrooms.

We are working on launching an ALT DOGE website. It will soon feature a team page listing all of Elon’s staffers, our own wall of receipts (tracking the money he’s taking from America), and a section to help Americans keep tabs on the false claims on Doge’s website—which now exceed 52%.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.

With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.

You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one.
