"We have three ports of entry with Mexico. Immigration and tariffs are a huge issue... the economy... are a huge issue in my district. And I can't get to work at all on any of those issues." Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva explains how Mike Johnson's games are hurting her constituents.

Federal resources aren’t campaign tools. Secretary Kristi Noem's new TSA video crosses the line, violating the Hatch Act with blatant political messaging.

We’re urging California airports to stand firm against this unlawful federal pressure and refrain from airing the video.

Pritzker: "Stephen Miller is clearly ordering people to break the law. So he should know that yeah, it may be three years from now that he is held accountable, but I think it's important for them to know that whatever they do now, it's not like we're going to forget."

Adelita Grijalva would be the final vote on releasing the Epstein files, but House Speaker Mike Johnson is refusing to swear her in. It’s been weeks since she won her election, and years of demanding the release of the Epstein files.

Swear Rep. Grijalva in and stop the cover-up!

The Trump regime’s constant onslaught of cruelty and mounting threats can be scary and demoralizing. That’s their intent.

Trump knows he can't win the 2026 midterms fair & square, so he's cheating by demanding more House seats from red states.

We won’t let him. We’re turning out voters for Prop 50—the state’s redistricting ballot initiative. Sign up to make calls or knock doors!

California’s Prop 50 special election is one of the most important in recent history. If we don’t pass this redistricting ballot initiative, Republicans get to cheat to try and hold onto the U.S. House in 2026.

We can’t let that happen. Californians, make your voice heard by November 4th.

Republicans’ decision to shut down the government 15 days ago—rather than extend subsidies that make health insurance affordable for millions of Americans—is a reminder why flipping the House for Democrats in 2026 is so important.

There is no question that the State Health Benefits Program is broken and desperately needs reform. Our hard-working public servants simply cannot afford premium hikes of over 30%, and these costs are also putting intense pressure on municipalities' budgets and property taxes.
