House Republicans are now scheming to repeal the Affordable Care Act.

And take away healthcare from tens of millions of Americans.

How did that work out for the extremists the last time they tried it?

Can Republicans be trusted to fix the healthcare crisis they have created?

Hell No.

The American people know that Republicans shut down the government.

Democrats want to open it up immediately.

And decisively address the Republican healthcare crisis.

The unfettered right to vote is as American as motherhood, baseball and apple pie.

It's the cornerstone of our democracy.

The Supreme Court must uphold the Voting Rights Act and the Constitutional protection against racial gerrymandering.

According to Bloomberg, Monday refuses to denounce Mama's attacks in Gaza. He should NEVER EVER be in our government let alone our Country. I do not trust him.

At a time when the federal government is telling the states, ‘you’re on your own,’ I’m proud to join other governors across the nation in the Governors Public Health Alliance.
In Maryland, we believe that everyone should have access to affordable, effective health care. We will leave no one behind.

Mike Johnson is enabling a hostile takeover of the US govt by a criminal enterprise of white supremacists, Christian nationalists, and techno-fascist billionaires who aim to replace democracy with a dictatorship led by Epstein’s closest coconspirator.

For the love of America, we must protest this.

No Kings

As the president escalates his authoritarian power grab, the NO KINGS non-violent movement continues to rise stronger. We are united once again to remind the world: America has No Kings and the power ...

When the House held a moment of silence to honor the Capitol Police on the one year anniversary of the January 6 insurrection, literally none of the Republicans-other than Dick and Liz Cheney-attended

That day, Mike Johnson and MAGA essentially spat on these heroes-both in word AND in deed

Mike Johnson might not care, but it’s not every day when a sitting member of Congress gets hit with a restraining order.

In the “most controversial member on Capitol Hill” contest, Florida Republican Cory Mills is the new frontrunner. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

Republican Rep. Cory Mills hit with a restraining order from ex-girlfriend

There’s an opening in the “most controversial member of Congress” contest, and the Florida Republican appears to be in the running.

Mike Johnson on the No Kings Protests: “The Hate America rally that'll happen Saturday…I bet you see pro-Hamas supporters. I bet you you see Antifa types. I bet you see the Marxist in full display, the people who don't want to stand and defend the foundational truths of this republic.”
