The difference between Democrats surrendering in March and fighting back now is us. We’re building a unified opposition party that stands up to Trump’s regime and its enablers.

The fact that this coming 9 days before the largest peaceful protest in modern American history is absolutely intentional. We will not back down. Trump and Miller can lie, smear, and threaten all they want. They will lose. No Kings, No Kings, No Kings. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

Think the GOP's shutdown-driven health care crisis won't affect you? Think again.

If Republicans don't reverse course, average enrollee premiums on California's Health Insurance Exchange are set to skyrocket come January.
