So proud of Hakeem Jeffries for standing up and speaking out about this terrible terrible bill. We stand with you!
Just took to the House Floor to speak in support of a country where everyone can afford to live the good life.
And in strong opposition to Trump’s One Big Ugly Bill that is devastating to everyday Americans.
We will not be silenced.

Kristi Noem must resign. She has deported a four year old with cancer, detained a U.S. marshal, and arrested two members of Congress. She’s lost the confidence of the American people. ICE must stop terrorizing our communities.

When Republicans block every effort to help U.S. citizens register if they can’t reach their election office, that’s not "election integrity" — that's voter suppression.

Today's a great day to call your senators and tell them you need them to vote YES on the resolution against Trump's tariffs. 📞+1 (202) 224-3121 to reach the Capitol switchboard.
Do Republicans think their job is to serve Donald Trump—or the American people?
They can join us right now to pass the bipartisan resolution to end Trump’s reckless tariffs.
