Remember the radical left want
*free health care
*free food for kids in school
*sensible gun laws
*affordable housing
*snap benefits
*free & fair elections
*restrictions on campaign funds
*more taxes on the ultra wealthy
*fair wages
*cleaner sustainable energy
The radical right wants the opposite

Virtually all of the top 100 wealthy countries have these benefits. The US does not, and our middle & working class citizens suffer and lack to support they need. The claim that lacking these benefits is somehow "freedom" is laughable.

From wildfire warnings to flood forecasts, NCAR's research impacts everyone in America.

President Trump's attempt to dismantle it for political vengeance is beyond reckless.

We will fight against this dangerous scheme every step of the way.

So much for transparency
The Trump administration’s release of the Epstein grand jury documents are entirely redacted.

It’s 119 pages of just black rectangles.

When you hear the Republicans ranting and raving about being denied the vote on healthcare –

Know that if only four of them stepped forward, they could have forced the vote.

They chose not to.

🚨BREAKING:

We just learned that the court in my lawsuit — Neguse et al. v. ICE — has temporarily stopped the Trump administration from blocking Members of Congress from unannounced oversight visits to immigration detention facilities.

The rule of law will prevail.

James Talarico is telling Gen Z the truth: you may not care about politics, but politics cares a lot about you—your boss, your landlord, your health care provider all play by rules written in rooms you’re not in. Get involved: register, vote, and make them feel your power.

In June, NYC used ranked choice voting in their primaries for the 3rd time.

Voter turnout was the highest since 1989, and voters embraced #RankedChoiceVoting.

A new report from FairVote shows how RCV impacted the election.

Money is how they wage war. But our vote is a weapon they cannot own, only suppress. It costs nothing, answers to no donor and ends regimes without asking permission. One mark on a ballot still terrifies every oligarch, because it reminds them their power is borrowed from us. #YourVoteMatters

The GOP has seen the decisive margins by which ppl are saying NO to them & their policies, & they're culling voters.

Check often (e.g, monthly) to make sure they haven't snared you:

BREAKING: The House of Representatives just passed a bill that would subject immigrant children to invasive bodily searches and keep them in detention instead of releasing them to their families.

The Senate must vote no on this horrific bill.
