This is extraordinarily corrupt. But I still think he’s far more malevolent and sociopathic than merely corrupt.

Three years ago today, Trump's far-right Supreme Court majority ended Americans' federal right to abortion under Roe v. Wade.

Since then, over 100 women have been denied emergency abortion care. Amber Nicole Thurman, 28, was one of them. Today, share her story.

Skipped the paperwork. Ignored the court order. Broke the law. Ignored the constitution.

This ain’t immigration policy. This is straight-up defiance of the rule of law.

“It’s amazing that others in this room underwrote electing a man who, in the last week, single-handedly destroyed all of American science. It’s amazing how much good science you can destroy with $320 million and RFK Jr, very fast.”

Let’s be clear. When the President defies the Supreme Court, it is the role of Congress to remove him from office. Full stop.

You have to see this.

BREAKING: The House passed a budget framework that would slash billions in Medicaid funding.

Medicaid is a lifeline for tens of millions of Americans, including people with disabilities, women, seniors, and children. The Senate must reject these dangerous cuts.

URGENT: The House is set to vote tomorrow on whether to advance $880 billion in cuts to Medicaid — eviscerating essential programs that provide lifesaving services for people with disabilities, children, seniors, and more.

Tell your representative now: Don't cut Medicaid.
Congress: Save Medicaid Now
Politicians are attempting to pass devastating cuts to Medicaid right now and we must act fast. Send a message telling your member of Congress to fight back now.
