Here's what's on the line with the government shutdown: Americans face skyrocketing health care costs if Republicans succeed.
A graphic with a deep red background. White text at the top reads: "The cost of groceries, electronics, housing, and even Halloween candy are up under Trump. But Republicans would rather shut the government down than prevent health care costs from rising more. THIS is what Republicans are fighting for?" Below the text is a bar chart titled "Average out-of-pocket cost for Affordable Care Act coverage, if Republicans get their way." The chart compares two years: 2025 is a purple bar with a cost of $888; 2026 is a red bar with a projected cost of $1,904. The source is cited at the bottom.

Republicans are trying to give their rich donors more tax cuts while your health care costs double.
"Republicans shut down the government because they care more about their rich donors' tax cuts than about your health care." Below this, two framed images contrast the financial effects: Left Frame: Shows a photo of a diverse family of four hugging outdoors. Text above reads "Family of four making $75,000/yr". Text on a green banner at the bottom reads: "pay $3,368 more for health coverage 2026". Right Frame: Shows a photo of three wealthy individuals, including Mark Zuckerberg. Text above reads "Person making $1 million/yr". Text on a red banner at the bottom reads: "pay $97,000 less in taxes 2027".

Federal agents in Chicago ripped families out of their homes in the middle of the night—separating children from their parents and arresting people of color regardless of their actual citizenship status. Will Trump target your city next?

Trump's Supreme Court said ICE can make stops based on a person's race or ethnicity. This is what that looks like. (TW: violence)

Republicans are doing everything they can to make billionaires richer—our kids pay the price.
A political graphic with a dark background and a photo of Senator Ted Cruz speaking at a hearing. Large, bold white text is overlaid at the top, reading: "REPUBLICANS CUT HEALTH CARE. OVER A MILLION TEXAS KIDS LOST MEDICAID." White text, with the last six words highlighted in red, at the bottom reads: "THEY TRADED YOUR KIDS FOR BILLIONAIRE TAX CUTS."

Students should have the freedom to read stories that reflect their reality. Fight back against book bans in your community.
A portrait photo of Mychal Threets, the new host of "Reading Rainbow," smiling while wearing a black tuxedo and a tie patterned with colorful hearts. A large quote is overlaid on the image, reading: "Students deserve to see themselves represented on school bookshelves, on library bookshelves, and to see their friends, families, and classmates represented." The quote is attributed to Mychal Threets, Librarian, influencer, and new host of “Reading Rainbow”."

Republicans are holding our government hostage so billionaires can get a tax break while you pay double for your health insurance.
A political graphic featuring a red-tinted, inverted image of the U.S. Capitol building against a black background. Large, bold white text is superimposed below the inverted image, reading: "Republicans shutdown the government because Democrats refused to defund your health insurance."

Donald Trump owns this shutdown—and he can end it when he wants to. Instead, he's golfing.

CAP Action's @neeratanden.bsky.social is right: Americans are already seeing their premiums double for next year. Republicans have created this mess and it can't be ignored.

Republicans would rather shut the government down than make sure their own constituents can afford health care.
A map of the United States displaying the percentage of the population enrolled in ACA Marketplace insurance by Congressional district. Each district is represented by a circle whose size indicates the enrollment percentage (from 10% to 30%). The color of the circle indicates the political party of the representative: red for Republican and blue for Democrat. The map shows that many Republican-held districts rely heavily on ACA insurance. The title reads: "Republicans have a choice: lower health costs or shut down the government." A red banner at the bottom states: "They're choosing higher premiums—even for their own constituents."

📈 Health care premiums are spiking in Virginia, Idaho, and Georgia.

💸 Virginia Beach: +$1,295/month
💸 Boise: +$1,472/month
💸 Fulton County: +$2,064/month

These numbers don’t lie—and families are paying the price.

Thank you Pope Leo.
A photograph of Pope Leo XIV, holding a silver crucifix. A quote box is overlaid on the image, featuring a pull quote from him. The text reads: "Someone who says, ‘I’m against abortion,’ but is in favor of the death penalty is not really pro-life. Someone who says, ‘I’m against abortion but I’m in agreement with the inhuman treatment of immigrants in the United States,’ I don’t know if that’s pro-life. Pope Leo XIV".

Disinformation thrives without data

No jobs numbers = the economy isn't struggling!

No food insecurity data = people are fed!

No education research = defunding and threatening schools doesn't hurt kids!

No public health studies = our policies aren't making people sick!

ICE agents are hiding behind masks so they can terrorize communities without consequence.
A photograph shows a group of uniformed and heavily armed ICE agents, with the central figure wearing a mask and helmet, looking forward. A large quote box is overlaid on the image with white text. The quote is from Judge William Young, a Reagan Appointee, and reads: "ICE goes masked for a single reason—to terrorize Americans into quiescence. Small wonder ICE often seems to need our respected military to guard them as they go about implementing our immigration laws. ... Can you imagine a masked Marine? It is a matter of honor—and honor still matters. To us, masks are associated with cowardly desperados and the despised Ku Klux Klan. Judge William Young, Reagan Appointee". The source is cited at the bottom.

We can think of a few things more essential than a multimillion-dollar ballroom.
A graphic featuring three gilded gold picture frames against a light blue background. Each frame contains a black and white photo of Donald Trump with a red background. The center photo shows Trump wearing a yellow construction hard hat. White text at the top reads: "While hundreds of thousands of federal workers go without a paycheck, Republicans are ensuring that only the most essential work is still getting done:" The following line is in red text: "construction on Trump’s new gilded ballroom." Text at the bottom reads: "Priorities, right?" In red text is "Nothing gets in the way of this President’s ego." The source is cited at the bottom.

A graphic with a dark, textured background displaying large text. The first line is in neon yellow: "Republicans control the House, the Senate, and the White House." The text continues in white: "They chose to shut down the government BECAUSE they didn't want to keep health care costs from rising for Americans."

Don't be fooled by Trump's strongman act—most of the people they’re detaining have NO criminal record.
A photograph of the inside of a jail cell with metal bars and a bed on the left. Yellow text is overlaid on the image, reading: "For the first time ever, there are more people with zero criminal record in ICE detention than people convicted of a crime." Below the main image, on a white, torn-paper texture, black italicized text reads: "Trump isn't going after criminals, he's going after people of color."

Portland is another dangerous escalation in Trump's authoritarian agenda.
A graphic with a black background featuring a grayscale photo composite. The photo shows an image of Donald Trump (viewed from behind) overlaid with images of the US Capitol and National Guard troops. He is looking at two protest signs. The sign on the left reads: "TERRORIZING FAMILIES? NOT IN OUR COMMUNITY!!" The sign on the right reads: "VETERANS DEMAND: STOP MILITARIZING OUR CITIES." White text at the top reads: "First L.A., then D.C., Chicago, Memphis, and now Portland. Trump isn't fighting crime. He's turning the National Guard against its own people and stirring up fear in our communities." Red text below reads: "The message is clear: No one is safe in Trump's America."
