Voting matters!!! People in the House and the Senate care more about their constituents than Trump does. Members of Congress vote the way their district ALLOWS them to. "Purple" district republicans should be the biggest goal to flip for dems on 2026. Don't wait until 2026. START NOW!!!

When the wreckage and dust of what these people are doing to our country has settled and the people have finally had enough to throw these jackals out of office, we will never forget the people who enabled it, despite their protestations they weren’t willing accomplices. Never.

We wanted to know what the average Black person thinks of Donald Trump. So we asked the communications director of the Houston Young Republicans, who grew up in a mixed race family in a majority white Long Island suburb.

Soon it will be too late. Congress must act. Republicans deserve relentless protests and demands for their acquiescence to this man solidifying power to overrun our democracy.

This is huge breaking news. Trump fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, Chief of Naval Ops, Vice of the Air Force and all three JAG’s of the Army, Navy, and Air Force. Watch this breaking news report we did for @votevets.org tonight. This is outragous. www.youtube.com/live/OdOjEdR...

I guess Trump’s Special Envoy doesn’t agree with him that Zelensky is a corrupt, incompetent dictator. Pretty schizophrenic foreign policy.

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

A defining policy battle is about to come to a head in this country. The Republican budget will force everyone - especially Congress and the White House - to make plain whether they are prepared to harm the rest of us in order to fund tax cuts for the wealthiest.

Of course. But being the party standing up for those fired will mean a lot to those fired and their families. It will also show the country that they are trying to bring order to chaos. And if they can get any Republican support at all, that's huge leverage for March 14

Lots of people think it's pointless to call out GOPers on capitulation to Trump. Here's why it's not. You need to make this claimed helplessness visible. You need to make it clear Jerry Moran has PLENTY of tools to rein in Musk, but has chosen not to use them. www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

Tonight we proposed an amendment to ensure that the Republican budget doesn’t raise prescription drug costs for seniors on Medicare. And guess what? Republicans blocked it — just like they opposed us when we gave Medicare the power to lower drug prices.
