We are counting on our senators #SenDuckworth and #SenatorDurbin to vote NO on Kash Patel.

📲 Whoever *your* senators are, call and tell them to refuse to confirm this corrupt and dangerous nominee. #StopKashPatel Find your senators here: www.senate.gov/senators/sen...

Donald Trump ran on the promise that he'd lower costs.

Instead, Illinoisans are paying the price of the Trump’s Tax on Working Families.

And worst of all, he'll keep taking away health care, child care, and more for the middle class – all for his friends at Mar-a-Lago.

It’s extra important for your GOP senator to hear from you right now if you’re in one of these states.

Call your senators and tell them to vote NO on Kash Patel’s nomination for FBI director: indivisible.org/resource/cal...

It's scary right now in federal gov. If you were forced out, or if the exit sign is growing larger by the day, or if you were planning to go in house but that doesn't look like a good idea anymore, my org is hiring. We work on implementing public benefits, and we have stable non-federal funding.
In light of today's TTS layoffs and general federal unease, I want to mention that my team at New America, the New Practice Lab, just opened five roles across several disciplines - policy, learning + evaluation, design, product, and data engineering.

Quick thread about what we do, and how we work:

The insurrectionists are not political prisoners, heroes, or martyrs. They assaulted law enforcement right before our eyes and put our democracy in peril. They deserve prosecution to the fullest extent of the law. www.npr.org/2025/01/21/n...
