Today we won a big victory in Texas but the fight for democracy is not over. We all need to steel ourselves for the battles ahead. We won't win them all, but we can never lose sight of what we need to do to prepare fee and fair elections.

Daines opposes extending the ACA credits, which will impact 58,000 Montanans, because he says it will cost $350 billion. But he happily voted to extend the doubled estate tax exemption, which will benefit fewer than 1000 Montanans - including himself - at a cost of $211 billion.
Q: Are you in favor of extending the ACA subsidies?

GOP Senator: I'm not. It is not a good idea to extend it. We don't deny the fact there are increases coming in health care costs and insurance premiums.

The Roadless Rule has protected roadless forests since 2001, keeping them free from logging, road-building, and other industrial development.

Now the Trump administration wants to strip protections from 45 million of those acres.

Newsom: He is a failed president. Who else sends ICE at the same time while having a conversation like this? Someone who is weak, broken. His weakness is masquerading as a strength. The most unpopular president in modern history.
