Trump's Tax Scam is about making billionaires richer while screwing over everyone else. Republicans want to get this vote done ASAP before their constituents find out how the GOP bill would hurt their communities. Use our Stop The Cuts toolkit to help raise awareness. 👇

Dr. Noor Abdalla will be spending her first Mother's Day as a mom without her husband Mahmoud Khalil, who is still locked up hundreds of miles away from her in ICE detention.

He should be holding his son who he hasn't met yet, but he is instead detained without due process by the U.S. government.

Republicans really don't want you to know that Trump’s tax scam would hand billions to the ultra-rich while gutting Medicaid and SNAP for working families. We can't let the GOP off the hook — if you live in a red district, make sure your representative hears from you: act.indivisible.org/...

Imagine getting an asylum appointment from the U.S. government, showing up for your scheduled appointment, and then getting deported to a foreign prison.

That's what happened to Andry Romero. He deserves due process.

This is not your ordinary TRO

To understand the significance of the Southern District of Texas's ruling that Trump administration's claimed invocation of the #AlienEnemiesAct is unlawful, note:

It's a permanent injunction.

Marriott’s CEO said it straight: “We welcome all… we create opportunities for all… that’s who we are as a company.”

He went back to his hotel to find 40K emails from Marriott associates worldwide saying “thank you.”

Plenty of CEOs talk. Capuano showed up.

Marriott still has my business.
