There was a mass shooting in South Carolina last night and all we get from the GOP is thoughts and prayers.

Here’s my plan.

OUR WORKERS DESERVE TO LIVE.
The explosion in McEwen wasn’t just a tragedy—it was a heartbreak for an entire community. Parents and siblings went to work and never came home. Tennessee families deserve safety, dignity, and accountability. A job should never cost you your life.

Stripping away hard-fought benefits from those who dedicated their lives to our communities isn’t “fiscal responsibility”—it’s a cruel betrayal. New Jersey deserves leaders who respect workers, not politicians who balance budgets on the backs of retirees.

Even #MarjorieTaylorGreene has had enough! If Mike Johnson won’t listen to Democrats, maybe he should start listening to members of his own party.

We deserve healthcare. Vote for Mikie Sherrill!

Jack has been running on cutting healthcare & pensions since the very first day he started trying to be governor nearly 10 years ago. As a career politician, he's said a lot of things to a lot of people, but if there's one thing he's been consistent on, it's his relentless attacks on working people.

Americans are struggling with
a government shutdown

a chaotic administration

and Trump is planning to build a triumphal arch and just bailed out Argentina with $20 BILLION DOLLARS.

#AlexAlott was charged with allegedly assaulting a federal officer with an umbrella. Yesterday, she was exonerated because VIDEO disproved the accusation. But Daniel, who attended the trial to support her, was detained the same day that the trial finished.

THIS IS FASCISM. FILM EVERYTHING.
