Breaking News: Democrat James Malone just defeated a Republican in a Pennsylvania district that voted for Trump by over 15 points.

This is a huge embarrassment for Elon Musk, who urged people to vote for the GOP candidate.

PA’s Supreme Court is already an elected body and the May 20th retention election is critical to protecting our Rights. If Republican judges are able to take control our fundamental rights could be at Risk.
The Kansas Supreme Court has protected abortion rights in this red state, but the GOP has a plan to change that: convince voters next year to approve an amendment to make the Supreme Court an elected body.

The Trump administration has frozen the funds the city was relying on to kick-start its ambitious Philly Tree Plan — a decade-long initiative aimed at expanding the tree canopy.

It remains uncertain if the money will ever be released.

I’m a former teacher — eliminating the Department of Education won’t make our children smarter.

It will sow more chaos and confusion at a time when families across the country need stability.

Firing thousands of hardworking civil servants at the IRS won't save us money.

It'll add billions to the deficit by making it easier for the ultra-rich to cheat on their taxes.

While billionaires line their pockets, families will struggle to get the help they need from the IRS.

Leadership is doubling down, but GOP members are getting nervous about the budget’s extreme unpopularity.

You can call your Representative now at 202-224-3121.
Looks like tomorrow will bring votes on a Republican plan to fund tax cuts for the rich by slashing Medicaid.

So this is a great time to contact your Member of Congress.
