50 members of Congress have cosponsored this bill (ten in the Senate and 40 in the House), making this the largest coalition supporting the wealth tax to date. Americans have spoken.

It's time for a wealth tax.

César Chavez accused of sexually abusing labor rights leader Dolores Huerta and others Labor rights activist Dolores Huerta revealed she was among women and girls who say they were sexually abused by César Chavez, the long-admired Latino icon, while he led the United Farm Workers union.

V4P stands in solidarity with Dolores Huerta, Ana Murguía, Debra Rojas, and the women and children whose labor and leadership shaped the farmworker movement — often without recognition, and at times while enduring harm. Their stories matter. We choose to center truth and those impacted.

Families need relief from rising energy costs. The #EnergyBillsReliefAct would help by restoring clean energy incentives, speeding up grid connections, and expanding relief for households.

More affordable energy, faster. Thanks to the leaders in Congress pushing this forward!

The SAVE Act is not about stopping voter fraud. It was designed to serve the fraud in the White House.

Trump knows his policies aren’t popular so he is desperate to stop Americans from having their voices heard.

It’s the “Save Trump’s Ass Act.”

I will vote no.

Tell Your Senators: Protect our Democracy, Vote NO on the SAVE Act Contact Congress today!

The SAVE Act is voter suppression—not security. It would purge millions, especially married women with name changes, low-income voters without passports, and more.

It's already ILLEGAL for non-citizens to vote. This voter suppression bill—the "Save America Act"—solves a non-existent problem while disenfranchising millions of actual citizens. It's a lie from start to finish.

This is flying under the radar about the SAVE America Act:

It would require states to upload voter data to DHS's SAVE database which is notoriously full of errors and illegally pools voters' data.

That puts both privacy and voting rights at risk.

Live updates: House to vote on Trump war powers measure and DHS funding Live updates: House to vote on Trump war powers, DHS funding

Democrats are standing firm: no blank check for ICE abuses. The GOP is trying to use Trump’s strikes on Iran as leverage but Democrats are still demanding accountability. Sneaking in policies that undermine safety, autonomy, and dignity are not the way to do it. www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

Top (worst) moments from the longest SOTU speech on record:
🚩Racist conspiracy theories
🚩Ignoring families struggling to make ends meet
🚩Pretending Epstein survivors weren't in the room
🚩Demonizing trans kids
🚩Openly talking about making it harder to vote

Did you know that 15 of the 43 drugs on TrumpRx can be found cheaper elsewhere?

He won’t say that because saving you money doesn’t matter if his name isn’t on it. #SOTU

Understanding MAGA's anti-voter agenda: 'Carefully crafted to exclude certain groups' Right now, President Trump and some Republicans in Congress are pushing the SAVE Act, which would tightly restrict voting access. It’s part of a broader strategy of undermining public access to and tr...

Tariffs are now near their highest levels in a century under the Trump administration. Even after the Supreme Court struck down the policy, newly proposed tariffs push prices back up at a time when families are still battling to cover everyday costs.

The Jesse Jackson Speech That Helped Redefine the Democratic Party’s Base

“Our flag is red, white and blue, but our nation is a rainbow…”

Rev. Jesse Jackson, who died Tuesday at 84, reminded us that America is a quilt: many colors, many communities, held together by a common thread.

In a time of division, his vision calls us back to what is right.

House Bill Would Hurt American Voters Republicans have reintroduced the SAVE Act, a bill that could disenfranchise millions of American voters.

The SAVE Act (and SAVE 2.0) would make it harder for millions of eligible Americans to cast their ballots — all under the false claim that it stops non-citizens from registering (which is already illegal). Eliza Sweren-Becker & Owen Bacskai for @brennancenter.org

Why Democrats’ upset in a Texas state Senate race is a big deal | CNN Politics Even amid a series of panic-inspiring results for the GOP, a new outcome in Texas stands out.

This Texas "upset" isn’t just about one seat.

Voters in a deep-red, Trump-won district rejected MAGA politics despite GOP money and endorsements. This is how harmful policies get reversed to protect workers, healthcare and schools — one election at a time.

Momentum like this is how midterms flip.

Journalist Don Lemon taken into custody after Minnesota church protest | CNN Politics Lemon and another independent journalist, George Fort, have been taken into federal custody in connection to a protest at a church earlier this month in St. Paul, Minnesota.

Arresting journalists for doing their job is what authoritarian governments do—not democracies. This is a chilling attack on press freedom, full stop. @donlemonofficial.bsky.social

Something Went Wrong Most of the government could shut down this weekend. ICE operations would carry on.

A govt shutdown won’t slow ICE enforcement; agents will keep operating even if DHS funding lapses, backed by billions already appropriated. Meanwhile, America mourns the loss of life at the hands of federal officers. Shutdown or not, the public deserves dignity, safety, transparency, and respect.

In the wake of Alex Pretti's death, Congress appears on track for a partial shutdown Senate Democrats say they are unwilling to fund the Department of Homeland Security without major reforms, raising the likelihood of a partial government shutdown at the end of this week.

After the second fatal shooting of a U.S. citizen by federal immigration officers in Minneapolis, Senate Democrats say they won’t fund DHS without new guardrails on ICE and CBP. That stand could trigger a partial shutdown, but this is a rare opportunity to demand accountability.

‘I would lose my vision’: Americans relying on ACA health plan face uncertainty Expiration of expanded subsidies has left many with higher healthcare costs – and some with no coverage at all

ACA enrollment deadlines are closing just as expanded subsidies expire, which will double premiums for many. From retirees to gig workers to parents, families face impossible choices while Congress remains deadlocked. Amid this all, one thing is clear: America needs expanded healthcare, not less.

Trump’s EPA is taking itself out of the regulation game The agency has long tried to curb carbon emissions and protect human health. Critics say that under Trump it is giving up on both.

Trump’s EPA wants to pretend climate pollution isn’t bad for human health actually. By targeting the EPA’s “endangerment finding,” Lee Zeldin could unravel the legal foundation of U.S. climate rules — because nothing says leadership like ignoring science and lungs. 🫠 @grist.org
