Federal minimum wage has become stagnant at $7.25 due to Congressional gridlock.
19 states have taken it upon themselves to pass higher minimum wage laws starting Jan. 1st.
Maybe if Congress raised wages they wouldn’t need SNAP.

Americans are starting 2026 without healthcare. One Texas family’s premium jumped from $630 to $2,400 a month after ACA subsidies expired. This is what “gridlock” looks like: families gambling with their lives while Congress stalls. 💔

This is Pastor Michel Tshimankinda getting detained, brutalized & experiencing #ICELawlessness. They weren't looking for him—they were looking for someone else. They had no warrant, just brute force & if it can happen to him, it could happen to anyone.

So talk about it at your holiday celebrations.

Never forget this: The forces undermining our democracy, rigging our economy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. We must keep fighting in 2026 and beyond.

With his attempts to end birthright citizenship, President Trump seeks to create a subclass of Americans denied their rights as American citizens.

We refuse to let that happen. We’re fighting back at the Supreme Court.
