This isn’t just about Senator Kelly’s rights. It’s about your first amendment rights & the rights of all veterans.

I hope the court moves to curb Trump Admin’s authoritarian impulses.

Once again, President Trump loses in a court of law.
His indefensible, job-killing order to needlessly halt Revolution Wind, weeks away from delivering cheaper & cleaner power to RIers, has been overturned.

The Fed sets interest rates based on economic data & what’s best for Americans.
For Trump, the best interests of the American people matter less than his political goals.
That’s why the Trump DOJ is attacking the Fed.

Last week, 17 House Republicans finally stood up against Trump & voted to extend ACA tax credits and lower health care costs.
Now, Senate Republicans must do the same & join Dems to protect affordable health care for millions of Americans.

The Trump economy is not working for working Americans. Pres. Trump’s tariffs are driving up costs & his billionaire giveaways are hurting Main Street.

Five Republicans voted against Trump as U.S. Senate voted 52-47 to advance a resolution curbing Pres. Trump’s Venezuela war powers. More work remains, but this is a step in the right direction.

At the same time the Trump Admin is making health care more expensive for families, it is weakening the health of children and our communities.

Trump’s attack on offshore wind is really an attack on our economy. He’s jacking up energy bills, firing thousands of union workers, & leaving our nation behind.
We need more energy in order to bring down costs. Trump is leading us in the wrong direction.

Pres. Trump’s outdated energy policies have already spiked energy bills by 13% this year. This re-do attempt to stop Revolution Wind is bad for our economy & environment, kills good-paying union jobs, & does absolutely nothing to lower costs.

For millions of Americans with ACA coverage, skyrocketing premiums start on January 1.
After months of Democrats urging action, the Speaker now says they’ll vote on ACA credits in January because Democrats forced his hand.
