Susan Collins's stance is indefensible.

A quarter million dollars in dark money behind her is indefensible.

Reopen the government, reverse the healthcare cuts, ban billionaires buying elections.

Johnson: "He has defunded our education system. He has defunded our transportation system. He's firing black women across this country. He's defunding our healthcare system. This president is absolutely out of control... Chicago is going to stand firm in protecting humanity."

Perhaps you’ve noticed; the more immigrants they detain and deport…the more violent the United States is becoming. I see a clear connection.

CA just banned price fixing via algorithm across the economy!

As corporations weaponize this technology to rip off consumers and hurt competition it's great to see @governor.ca.gov sign AB 325 to stop this practice!

Here's our own Lee Hepner testifying in support of the bill earlier this year👇

Most of these men arent accomplished in any sense. Even the ones with education, like the few doctors who spoke up in support of the bill. They are not accomplished people who achieved great things. They were handed everything, they believe they are deserving and should be in control.

There is a really weird disconnect. It’s like they don’t see women as humans.

Especially older women, they just despise, they see them as useless. They were really unfriendly and rude to Shealy in the hearing.
