Home Depot is providing us with yet another reason to never shop at Home Depot.

Lowes invests in the local community and works with a wide variety of social support groups.

Home Depot's top execs and shareholders, in contrast, dump millions into Trump's campaigns and actively support ICE.

Our rights are slipping away. Young women nowadays have less rights than my mother did in the 70’s.
This wasn’t as long ago as you might think.
Women couldn’t even have credit in their own name until 1975. Equal rights for all hurt no one.

It’s not just Americans with ACA plans or Medicaid under attack. Now the Trump admin wants to cut 35,000 positions across the Veterans Health Administration.

The VA is already understaffed to deliver the care veterans deserve. This action will only make that reality worse.
VA plans to abruptly eliminate tens of thousands of health care jobs
Strains on the Veterans Affairs system could grow with the elimination of as many as 35,000 mostly unfilled health care positions, including doctors and nurses.

The bipartisan petition to force a vote on extending the Affordable Care Act tax credits now has enough signatures.

Mike Johnson must bring this to the House floor immediately. Congress should not leave for a holiday break until we vote to protect healthcare for 25 million Americans.
