Republicans are threatening to shut down the government to protect billionaire tax breaks—while 22M Americans face health care premiums jumping 75%. We need a budget for working people, not people with private jets. Call 877-851-2521 and tell congress to stop the #MAGAshutdown

Republicans want congress to choose between higher insurance premiums or a government shutdown. Tell Congress ENOUGH is ENOUGH. Call the Save Healthcare Hotline at 877-851-2521

Rents are rising, wages are falling, and families are being priced out. For 8 years, Mayor Frey has sided with big biz and landlords, while stoking division in our community. This election, we can elect leaders who fight for affordable housing and strong neighborhoods — not the status quo. #mpls

When the right to organize is under attack at the federal level, it is more important than ever to fight for and to protect that right with every tool at our disposal. We all deserve dignity and respect in our workplace. I was proud to join @seiumn.bsky.social today.
