Rep Zach Nunn is more concerned about tax breaks for his billionaire allies than ensuring working Americans and their families have access to affordable health insurance. Call him!

This will be true for people across the United States. So do this!

Senator Elissa Slotkin @slotkin.senate.gov · Sep 8

When you get notice that your health insurance is going up. Get that letter. Scrub your name. And post it online.

People should understand that the rate increases are because of what the president decided to do on health care.

We shouldn't take that lying down.

There's no excuse for the Vice President of the United States to use a heinous killing as an occasion to baselessly frame political opponents as accomplices to murder while threatening to use the power of the government to attack them.

This dangerous rhetoric will only fan the flames.

The White House is not a talk-show set. Yet VP Vance turned it into one, hosting Kirk’s podcast, sanctifying him as martyr, and inheriting his base. Dissent cast as “terrorism,” propaganda broadcast as governance. This is how authoritarianism begins. Read more:

A Farragut city council member took in their questions but said Grassley didn’t really have responses to them. He had secret events in at least 3 other SW Iowa counties this week too. In those places city council members weren’t invited. 99-County Tour is a lie

Congrats to those in Southwest Iowa who showed up for the Fremont County Grassley event. Of course they weren’t allowed in but they went to try to get a word with him. He snuck in the back door to avoid them but they shared their messages. 1/2

Senator Patty Murray @murray.senate.gov · Jul 25

Trump's Big Ugly bill will wipe out clean energy investments. It's a giant job killer & utility bills will skyrocket.

I'm in Seattle today to make sure people know it’s thanks to Republicans.

Meanwhile, Democrats will deliver more jobs, clean energy, and a brighter future.

Republicans cheered as they betrayed all of us and voted to pass a bill that would rip away health care, food, and basic needs from millions. But the fight isn’t over. The House will vote as early as today. CALL your Rep now to stop this bill!!
Rural hospitals are in grave danger with this bill

Republicans must be held accountable for every single person turned away from life-saving healthcare, every hungry child, and every struggling family. We will not let them hide away from this disastrous scam.
