"When power fears the light, truth is the only torch left standing."

We have never seen a presidency as criminal, lawless, and corrupt as the fascist authoritarian Trump regime. No other presidency is even close. 😳👇

NEW: President Donald Trump says he is granting a pardon to Tina Peters, who was convicted on state charges related to tampering with Colorado's election systems. Legal experts say presidential pardons do not apply to state charges.

You should never have to choose between putting food on your table, covering your rent, and paying your health insurance premium.

But for more than 20 million Americans, that already difficult decision will become even harder if Affordable Care Act subsidies are allowed to expire.

Health care costs are soaring and Senate Republicans just voted to let ACA tax credits expire.

Thousands of Michigan families depend on these credits for affordable care and this will have disastrous consequences.

As your next Senator, I'll keep fighting for lower health care costs for Michigan.

Trump sided with Saudi Arabia, Russia and Iran in blocking part of a United Nations report about the dire state of the planet because the report called for phasing out fossil fuels, switching to clean energy and reducing plastics.

DUH!
Several Republican congresswomen have been complaining that their party’s leaders, especially Mike Johnson don’t take them seriously.

They want women to agree whatever they’re doing & basically to stand there, smile & clap.

Not surprising.

Rep. Magaziner: “You promised America that you would go after the worst of the worst…You don’t seem to know how to tell the difference between the good guys and the bad guys. Go after the terrorists, do not go after veterans, marines, children, and U.S. citizens.”

People power with Indivisible NE Indiana.
They had bus rides going to the capital and phone a thons to state senators. I donated to this group - they did amazing in this fight.
🎉 BREAKING: WE DID IT! 🎉

After days of intense pressure from D.C., the Indiana Senate REJECTED the mid-decade gerrymandered map!

This victory belongs to every Indivisible member, every activist, and every Hoosier who called, emailed, and showed up.
