Republicans aren't working for YOU...they're working for their billionaire donors.
A line graph illustrating federal election donations from the 100 wealthiest Americans by political party from 2000 to 2024. The title asks: "Why are billionaires giving so much money to Republicans?" The Red Line (TO REPUBLICANS) shows a steep surge, reaching approximately $800 million in 2024. The Blue Line (TO DEMOCRATS) peaks in 2020 at over $250 million but declines significantly by 2024 to below $250 million. The graph clearly shows a massive funding gap favoring Republicans in 2024.

A powerful message from one of Jeffrey Epstein's survivors. This is a fight for our democracy.
A graphic with a muted purple background and a faded photo of the U.S. Capitol building.

A graphic with a deep burgundy background featuring a quote from Epstein Survivor Jess Michaels. The quote reads: "When mountains of evidence and decades of victim reports across five administrations still lead to sweetheart deals or no prosecution at all—this isn’t just one case gone wrong. It’s an institutional failure. ... If our justice system can collapse this completely for so long, then Congress cannot pretend that the system is working. ... Without transparency, there’s no accountability. Without accountability, there is no justice, and without justice democracy dies." The bottom features three small photos of Jess Michaels speaking at a press conference.
