Yesterday I argued in the Supreme Court to defend a 50 year old law that prevent corruption in our campaign finance system. Meanwhile, Republicans are attacking the 60 year old Voting Rights Act in SCOTUS as well. We won't let them gut democracy without a fight.

MSM had better cover this vote properly.
An update on the fight over health insurance premiums:
Republicans have basically stopped negotiating. Trump is more focused on his ballroom than these cost hikes.
Later this month, Senate Democrats will force a vote on this - one last chance for GOP to do the right thing.

Leslie told her story about how the Affordable Care Act saved her and her family, and how devastating it will be if Republicans increase her premiums in January just because they want a big tax cut for their billionaire donors.

There is a temptation is to describe what happened yesterday as somehow a “new low.”
But it’s not a new low. It’s the same old low. A scene we’ve seen repeated so often there is a kind of numbness to it.

If we define “news” only as what is novel rather than what is right in front of our eyes, this is not particularly newsworthy. Trump has been attacking racial and ethnic groups for his entire political career: Mexicans, Muslims, Haitians, Afghans, Africans...

We must stand up to bullies!
Standing up to a tyrant - who is willing to impose pain as leverage to compel loyalty or acquiescence - is hard. You can convince yourself that yielding stops the pain and brings you back to "normal".
But there is no "normal". Submission emboldens the tyrant. The threat grows.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.
