I am old enough to remember when elected officials were people of character that were held to the highest ethical standards. Now the billionaires fund GOP lickspittles who take their money and then do their bidding instead of representing their constituents. Overturn Citizens United

How we beat back the corporate takeover of America:

1. Break up corporate monopolies
2. Continue building union power
3. End Citizens United and get big money out of politics

Let’s keep working to unrig the system.

Since we can’t ever expect Mike Johnson to do the right thing, we’re forcing a vote on extending ACA tax credits. And we only need four more members to sign the petition to make it happen.

Help us move the needle!

While Mike Johnson is running around trying to act like he’s not the most incompetent Speaker in US history, we’re pushing hard to extend the ACA tax credits for millions of Americans.

We’re almost there, and you can help!

Congress is playing politics with people's lives. These are the very people that Congress supposedly works for. Tell your Congresspersons to stop playing games and extend the damn ACA tax credits

Those Obamacare Subsidies Aren’t Going to Extend Themselves
Unfortunately, lawmakers probably won’t end up extending them, either.

Speaker Mike Johnson has reportedly told the White House that most Republicans aren't interested in extending ACA subsidies.

Reminder that 57% of ACA Marketplace enrollees live in congressional districts represented by a Republican.

They're selling out their own voters.

I was compelled to look that performance up. The introduction of Yoyo Ma by the speaker is very poignant given where we are as a nation now. May we return to a country whose government values the contributions of immigrants again.

$335 billion = cost over the next 10 years if we extended the enhanced ACA subsidies permanently. (KFF)

$2.3 TRILLION = cost over the next 10 years of the tax cuts for the rich in the Republican budget (aka Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill). (CAP)

Here’s how that shakes out IRL:

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.

If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

I think Americans are realizing that democracy is a participation sport, and the the government is ours if we want it to be. I feel like we got complacent and hoped some other third party would do the work for us. Seems like we have to learn that lesson every generation.
