The House of Representatives will soon vote on a budget bill that would kick 12 million people off Medicaid, defund Planned Parenthood and supercharge the Trump administration’s mass deportation machine.

The time to be loud is NOW. Tell your representative: Vote NO.
Tell Congress: Stop the Big Not-So-Beautiful Bill
The Senate just passed one of the most dangerous and harmful budget bills ever – featuring the largest cuts to Medicaid in history, billions to fund mass deportations, and functionally "defunding" Pla...

At least 20 people lost their lives over the weekend as storms ravaged the country.

Meanwhile, Trump & DOGE have terminated 1,000 employees from NOAA — the agency that provides severe weather forecasting and warnings.

Make no mistake: these cuts put people's lives in danger.

Nearly every Republican in the Senate voted to overturn a Biden Admin rule that limited bank overdraft fees to $5.

This rule, initially established by the now gutted CFPB, was expected to save consumers $5 billion annually.

The GOP is the party of junk fees.

In the 2015 year report the USDA-APHIS website records show a cattle death loss in the state of Idaho of over 41,000, 29,000 of which died of what amounts to neglect, lack of food, water, shelter or fresh air.

We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado.

Trump cannot dismantle the Department of Education without the approval of Congress.

He’s breaking the law. Again.

Maybe if he focused more on educating himself instead of attacking education, he’d know that. 🫶

Trump just invoked this very same law to target people *inside* our borders and he’s already deporting citizens. Roberts said history repudiated Korematsu, but SCOTUS never actually overruled it. What makes anyone think he won’t do this again? Who’s gonna stop him?
