Folks, I get we’re all mad, but the solution is not to take away resources from already underfunded state and local parties.
Target your retribution to the Senators who voted for this and their associated PACs. Don’t punish people who can’t do anything about it.

President Trump said he would lower costs for Americans.
Tell me: How does revoking Biden’s decision to *lower* prescription drug costs achieve that?
Thanks to Trump's executive order, innovative programs like $2 generic drugs and cheaper access to gene therapies are now on the chopping block.

Trump pulls back Biden drug pricing action
The Trump administration’s first drug pricing action — rescinding a Biden executive order encouraging Medicare to help lower prescription costs — is befuddling drug pricing experts.

I see lots of folks wondering what one person can do to resist. It feels overwhelming if we think about doing it alone. Try indivisible.org to find likeminded individuals near you. If we all do our bit, together, we can make a difference, and maybe even change the course of history?

The GOP is a party that prioritizes power over people. Rather than pass legislation that improves the lives of Americans, they’re focused on disenfranchising voters!
The SAVE Act is the latest attempt to silence our voices & maintain their grip on power.
