A dark day for our democracy but a reminder that we have to fight for it.

Rep. Krishnamoorthi understands the critical time we are in. Our democracy is constantly under attack by corrupt actors and we have to fight for it!

"Voting is fundamental to our democracy and we still have more work to do as we defend the right to do so. I’m grateful for Defend the Vote’s support in this fight as my campaign continues to build the massive momentum needed to win in Georgia."- @ossoff.bsky.social

A proven leader for the people of North Carolina!

Simple changes that would go a long way. We must strengthen our democracy so that it works for everyday Americans!

Wildly corrupt move by these Republicans.

After cutting health care and food assistance for millions of people, they added in a slush fund for themselves.

Democrats in the House are fighting to remove it.

Billionaires and special interests are making things more expensive for the American people. We must address the Cost of Corruption.

He can not and will not run from this. The American people demand full transparency here.

All while Congress is out of session and not working.

We must not let elected officials continue to not do the work that their constituents voted them in for.

The message should be clear: Republicans need to end this shutdown and get back to serving the American people.

Experts warn the proposed SAVE Act could make it harder for some married women to vote. Here's who could be affected. The SAVE Act could change voter registration requirements for millions of people. Here's how.

🚨 Republicans are fast tracking this bill. We’re working every day to stop it.

We need safe, accessible elections for all eligible voters - not to block citizens from voting.
