Gas up 11% in ONE week. $3.32 a gallon — highest in 18 months. 92,000 jobs gone. You started an unauthorized war AND killed the job market simultaneously.

Drill baby drill was supposed to LOWER prices. How’s that working out?

Trump fires Homeland Security Secretary Noem after mounting criticism over her leadership Oklahoma Republican Sen. Markwayne Mullin says he has no idea how quickly his nomination to replace Kristi Noem at the Department of Homeland Security will move.

We’re glad that Kristi Noem has been fired and she should face real accountability for DHS’ rampant violence.

But Noem’s firing doesn’t suddenly solve the crisis at DHS. Swapping personnel without changing course is not accountability — it’s a spin tactic. What we really need is structural change.

From immediate oversight, to forcing a vote on a War Powers Resolution, to restricting or cutting off funding for unauthorized hostilities, our Members of Congress must use every lever in their toolbox to put an immediate stop to this war.

Make sure your elected officials hear from you.

Trump is demanding the SAVE Act after riling his base with lies about fraud. The bill could block 21 million citizens by requiring passports or raised seal birth certificates most people lack.

Thank you to Senator Schumer & Gillibrand for fighting to keep it off the floor! #SaveActTaxesYourVote

History is clear: People-led movements—not force, not one politician—are how we end authoritarianism. Every time Trump escalates attacks on everyday people, our movement grows STRONGER.

March 28 will prove we will not back down.

Tell the Senate: Not a penny more for ICE brutality | Indivisible

DHS funding runs out today. That means we have real leverage in this fight since a funding bill can’t pass without Democratic votes. Call your Members of Congress and demand they reject any bill that doesn’t stop ICE and CBP terror.

What's more likely to happen with the SAVE Act? Voter suppression, not voter fraud prevention.

The GOP is using this bill as a Trojan horse to restrict voting rights and maintain their power.

Opinion | Trump’s Attack on Venezuela Is Illegal and Unwise

"By proceeding without any semblance of international legitimacy, valid legal authority or domestic endorsement, Mr. Trump risks providing justification for authoritarians in China, Russia and elsewhere who want to dominate their own neighbors."

Guest Opinion: Why Large Data Centers Increase Our Energy Bills Since the debate over the TeraWulf data center proposal began, I have repeatedly heard the claim from proponents that data centers do not increase our energy bills. That argument persists,

New op-ed from @amannakelles.bsky.social on how the rapid expansion of energy-intensive data centers throughout the NYSEG service area translates into higher electricity bills for everyday customers, even as those facilities themselves pay comparatively low prices for power. Read her op-ed here:

Calling them the “Seditious Six” & branding their statements “despicable” before review is textbook definition of prejudgment. No panel, judge, or reviewing authority can claim neutrality once the SECDEF declares the accused guilty. This looks like the procedures used in dictatorships, not the US.

If Congress doesn't act to lower health care costs, families like Ashley's will be forced to choose between paying sky-high premiums or going uninsured.

Extending the enhanced ACA tax credits is pro-family, pro-small business, and pro-American.
