Latino Victory condemns the House GOP’s cruel “domestic policy package.” This isn’t fiscal responsibility, it’s political cruelty. We urge the Senate to reject it and protect Medicaid, SNAP, and programs our families rely on. @kpichardony.bsky.social

Here's an Earth Day reminder that Big Oil and Gas spent $96 million to help reelect Donald Trump.

Now he's getting rid of environmental protections to appease his donors.

If we want to live on a healthy planet, we need to End Citizens United and get Big Money out of our politics
