This is not a deal — it's an empty promise.

Trump and his Republican Congress are making healthcare more expensive for the middle class and ending it for working families.

Time for Democrats to stand tall for affordable healthcare. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say.

This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand.

All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

Americans know the 1st Amendment gives us the right to protest peacefully. Who are these folks who vilify protesters & label, “not like us?” Degrading groups of folks is dangerous. We are stronger showing up and standing up for our neighbors! #TruthBrigade truthbrigade.indivisible.org/s/WcMMDBth

Prairie Food Co-Op is officially open in Lombard! I was thrilled to help secure $750,000 in Community Project Funding to construct and equip DuPage County's first community owned grocery store, which will generate economic benefits for our community. Congratulations!

Speaking freely is a right, it matters deeply to us. When pundits & politicians vilify folks who stand up for their beliefs, I ask "Why?" Is it about safety...or control? It's not about patriotism. Democracy can’t be defended by silence. Speak up #TruthBrigade truthbrigade.indivisible.org/s/WcMMDBth

Overnight, Senate Republicans released updated text of their Big, Ugly Bill and made it even worse than their initial terrible proposal.
Instead of cutting $880 BILLION from Medicaid, they are now cutting $930 BILLION from Medicaid—nearly $1 TRILLION!
Senate Democrats will continue to fight it.

The current White House administration has cut billions in research and fired thousands of researchers. Let’s follow the money—not the hype—and demand a government that puts people first. #TruthBrigade

Today they have crossed a deep red line.

We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty.

We need laws that fix real problems—like health care and financial security. So why do lawmakers push conspiracy-driven bills? Who gains from the distraction—and who gets hurt? Let’s talk about it. #TruthBrigade #TruthBrigade truthbrigade.indivisible.org/s/UVarBTkg

Senator Ted Cruz posted a dramatic video of LAPD cars on fire with the caption “this… is… not… peaceful.” What he didn’t mention? The footage was from 2020, not 2025. His post on X falsely implied it was current, part of a broader effort to spread lies and manufacture a crisis.

Yes, you are reading that right. And yes, that is *actually* what they named the bill.

Laws should solve real problems—like better healthcare, financial protection. Why do so many lawmakers push laws based on disproven conspiracy theories? Maybe they get headlines? Let’s keep asking: Who benefits, & who’s left out when outrageous laws are proposed? Demand better! #TruthBrigade

Today marks Yom HaShoah — the day of remembrance for the six million Jewish lives who were murdered during the Holocaust.

It’s our responsibility together to fight the rise of antisemitism, bigotry, and hatred wherever it is found.

Never again means never again.

What do these corporations have in common?

Netflix
Ford
Tesla
T-Mobile
Duke Energy
DISH Network
Metlife
Dominion Energy
United States Steel

In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes.

This is what a corporate-rigged system looks like.

Congressional Republicans are turning their backs on Americans to pay for tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy.

This budget resolution lays the foundation for Trump to gut Medicaid and strip resources from seniors, veterans, those with disabilities, children, and working families.
