Today, we launched our Unrig Washington campaign, a bold new standard for Democrats to show voters that as a party we're serious about cleaning up Washington.

So far, 83 Democratic candidates and Members of Congress have joined this campaign.

Trump’s Corruption Gives Democrats A Shot At A Unifying Message

Progressives and moderates alike are signing on to a new pledge to “unrig” Washington.

Since the launch of the 2nd #NoKings mobilization, the Trump regime has escalated their authoritarian agenda.

We won’t back down.

On Oct. 18, we’re telling this wannabe dictator: America belongs to us.

The American people know that Republicans shut down the government.

Democrats want to open it up immediately.

And decisively address the Republican healthcare crisis.

Republicans worked around the clock to cut taxes for billionaires.

But they won’t even show up to work to stop your health insurance premiums from doubling.

Unacceptable.

The dangerously corrupt Trump administration makes policy decisions based on bribes and ways to pad the president's pockets.

Right-wingers are leaving tons of comments encouraging the agency to make it harder for Americans to register to vote, so we need you to tell the EAC you're AGAINST implementing even more restrictions.

The Election Assistance Commission might implement the same barriers to the ballot box the SAVE Act would impose.

These potential voter registration rule changes could impact 69 MILLION married women who have changed their last name. 🧵

It’s been 14 days since the GOP shutdown and House Republicans are still MIA.

24 million Americans are waiting to see if they’ll lose affordable health care and they aren’t even pretending to govern.

The voters of #AZ07 still don't have a voice in Congress because Mike Johnson is shameless and cares more about keeping the Epstein files hidden than respecting our democracy.

FactPost @factpostnews.bsky.social · 22h

Republicans continue to postpone the swearing-in of Adelita Grijalva, the newest Democrat elected to Congress, for a 14th day.

Her day one promise is to be the tie-breaking vote to release the Epstein files.

Former Federal Election Commissioner and current ECU Senior Fellow @ellenlweintraub.bsky.social penned an op-ed about the dangers of the agency having a lack of quorum.

Take a look:

Democracy is under attack – and the watchdog agency has no quorum. It must be restored

The GOP's shutdown boils down to Republicans choosing billionaires over hardworking families.

At our recent town hall, @repstevenhorsford.bsky.social told it how it is:

Trump’s building a golf course in Qatar.
He accepted a $400M luxury jet as a gift from Qatar.
His son-in-law got a $1.5B investment from Qatar and other Middle Eastern countries.
His top officials like Kash Patel and Pam Bondi worked for Qatar.

And now this.

We talked about the harmful impacts of the Citizens United decision on our politics, the importance of calling out Trump's corruption, and how Democrats can win back voters.

Leader Jeffries: We're not gonna be intimidated. We don't work for Donald Trump. We don't work for JD Vance. We don't work for corrupt billionaires. We work for the American people. I'm so thankful for my colleagues who continue to defend the health care of the American people

I'm tired of hearing Republicans say they'll deal with the health care crisis they created "later."

Later is TOO LATE.

If Republicans could rush to give billionaires tax breaks this summer, we can save families from seeing their health care premiums more than double RIGHT NOW.

The indictment of Attorney General James is an act of authoritarian vengeance.

Trump is unhinged and has no problem attacking the rule of law and weaponizing the state to punish his political enemies.

Republicans are kicking children, veterans, and seniors off of their health insurance — to give tax cuts to billionaires.

How can they look themselves in the mirror?

Reminder: House republicans refuse to swear in @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social to delay a vote on releasing the Epstein files.

Mike Johnson thinks protecting morally corrupt, creepy billionaires is more important than giving the families of #AZ07 the voice they voted for.

We're on day 10 of the GOP's shutdown—which is all about them cutting Americans' healthcare to fund billionaire tax breaks.

@whipkclark.bsky.social and Democrats alike refuse to let Republicans get away with this.
