🚨More chaos in the Republican-led House...
Our discharge petition has the signatures to force the ACA extension to the floor. Speaker Johnson doesn't want to do it.
The good news: Republicans are feeling the pressure. If you have a friend or relative in a red district, tell them to call their Rep!

Along with their cameras, his agents are prowling our streets, ripping folks out of cars and terrorizing our neighbors with assault weapons.

This isn’t enforcement. This is harassment.
They’ve grabbed people off the street for how they look, separated families, and scarred communities with masked agents with guns.
I encourage everyone to do as they have — peacefully protect your neighborhoods and neighbors.
