We did it! We got enough signatures to force a vote on extending ACA subsidies. Imagine how furious Mike Johnson is going to be when we pass this!

Now is the time to pressure your Members of Congress and help us get it done!
Tell Congress: Demand Speaker Johnson hold a vote IMMEDIATELY on the ACA tax credit extension
Contact Congress today!

Speaker Mike Johnson says his entire worldview comes from the Bible.

But he’s about to kick 2 million Texans off their healthcare right before Christmas.

If you aren’t loving your neighbor, then keep Jesus’ name out of your mouth.

For a GOP president—after the Iraq War—to say outright that invading Venezuela is all about oil is wild. But it is. It’s also about corruption, power, graft, and land. And we should take him at his word.

BREAKING: Russia Is Buying Trump for $6 Billion — And It’s Happening in Plain Sight
A failing social media company. A Russian-backed fusion deal. AI panic. Presidential conflicts. And now, a dead American nuclear scientist. Tell me again this is “just a tech story.”

Representative Jim Himes, the senior Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee:

“Pete Hegseth happily releases a video after each strike... He recognizes when the American people see this video, they will be repulsed. It is basically the summary execution of two people clinging to wreckage.”

It’s frightening that the Commerce Secretary, Howard Lutnick, a finance icon, REFUSED TO ADMIT TRUMP’s MATH WAS ALL WRONG - THAT TRUMP LIED ABOUT REDUCING DRUG COSTS 600% OR 700%. It’s impossible. If true, people would be getting paid to take the drugs. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️
FOX: If you cut something by 100%, the cost goes down to 0. If you cut it by 600%, the drug companies are actually paying you

LUTNICK: What he's saying is if a drug was $100 and you bring it down to $13, it's down 7 times

F: Not a 600% cut

L: But it's 700% higher price before. It's down 700% now

trump’s DOJ is suing states to get your/our Private Voter Data. Find out what you can do to fight back! Start with calling your State legislators & U.S. Rep & Senators. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Across the country, the US Department of Justice is issuing sweeping demands and filing bad-faith lawsuits seeking unredacted voter files from states and local jurisdictions. This is unacceptable. Private voter data is not a political weapon. www.lwv.org/newsroom/pre...

This is an important read by a researcher who has investigated the many deceptive and harmful practices of unregulated pregnancy centers in the US. It's astounding what these fake clinics are allowed to get away with.
Supreme Court case about ‘crisis pregnancy centers’ highlights debate over truthful advertising standards
There are some 2,500 of these centers across the United States. Many are located within a mile of an abortion provider.

Atty: Notice the priorities: we're told the ACA won't get a vote until January 2026. But Congress will vote Dec 17, 2025 on Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's national anti-trans health care bill. For Republicans, denying health coverage for millions can wait. Targeting trans people can't.

Former special counsel Jack Smith delivered a striking message to lawmakers today: his team developed “proof beyond a reasonable doubt” that Trump committed crimes related to efforts to overturn the 2020 election and the retention of classified documents.
Jack Smith tells Congress he could prove Trump engaged in a 'criminal scheme' to overturn 2020 election
