We need to form a panel of federal judges to review recent Supreme Court rulings for adherence to the Constitution. If it is determined they are conspiring to undermine the US Constitution they must be impeached.

We just learned that MMM told a local Republican group she’ll hold town hall meetings “when hell freezes over.” She thinks she can hide. But she can’t run, not on that record. If you like what you see, chip in to keep our ad campaign running in Iowa: secure.actblue.com/donate/nexts...

#NoKings isn’t just a slogan—it’s a battle cry!

Our rights were never given — they were won.

From the ballot box to the picket line, generations of Americans have fought to secure fundamental freedom & dignity for all of us.

October 18, we rise!

ABC pulled Kimmel. Disney bowed to President Trump. Media silenced at the president’s request is authoritarianism, not freedom.

Now, Disney has reinstated Kimmel, because in America, the power belongs to the people.
