Major sports leagues have an undeniable power to build community and shape culture—which is why the Dodgers' move to protect immigrants is so powerful. The LA Dodgers did the right thing, and now it’s time for other Major League Baseball teams to follow their lead. Sign the petition.

Clean energy is cheaper than fossil fuels, creates good-paying American jobs, and can power our tech economy.

Republicans are hellbent on killing it—even though their own districts have the most to lose.

Trump has pardoned multiple convicted fraudsters — including a former GOP Congressman and two reality TV stars. 

He's also dropped or halted 100+ enforcement actions against corporate offenders — including 34 companies that funded his inauguration.

Is this being "tough on crime"?

Trump’s hiking prices and killing clean energy jobs—62,000 disappearing or in limbo, 400,000 more at risk—all to keep Big Oil happy and raking in massive profits.

How are Republicans planning to pay for their latest round of tax cuts for the rich?

By kicking millions off health care and gutting the social safety net.

But that's not all.

They also plan to sell off public land and water to Big Oil.

Trickle down economics on steroids.

Ed Martin may well be Trump's worst nominee – and that's a tough competition.

He can’t be trusted to defend the rule of law. And I won't stop fighting his nomination.

This isn’t who we are as a country. We don’t steal people off the streets, refuse them their day in court, deport them to foreign prisons–and then defy a Supreme Court order to bring them back.

Bring Kilmar Abrego Garcia home now.
