Think about what the GOP is revealing with their attempt to suddenly change the Congressional maps: they know their agenda is so unpopular that they're going to lose unless something changes.

Of course, what they should be changing is their policies, not the maps.

The House is set to take up the SAVE Act this week, which would make voting significantly more difficult for millions of people.

Tell your representative to vote NO now.
Stop the SAVE Act
The SAVE Act would keep millions of people from being able to vote – and would shut countless eligible voters out of our democracy. Urge Congress to vote no now.

The SAVE Act would prevent millions of eligible voters from participating in our democracy, like married women, naturalized citizens, trans people, and people with low incomes.

Tell Congress: Vote NO on this bill and protect our right to vote.

BREAKING: We're suing to block the Trump administration from requiring artists who apply to the National Endowment for the Arts for funding to have to attest they won't use any funds to "promote” what the government deems to be “gender ideology."

This is a violation of the First Amendment.
