Republicans don’t care about child poverty, and I have the receipts

Hi friends, it’s Sara Jacobs. Two years ago, President Biden’s American Rescue Plan expanded the Child Tax Credit, cutting child poverty in half.   Lifting children out of poverty and helping families access basic necessities like housing, food, education, and child care is the right thing to do -…

The new House Speaker is another extremist

Well, they finally did it.  My GOP colleagues in the House landed on a candidate who could scrape up enough votes to win the Speakership - Rep. Mike Johnson.  Johnson may have been flying under the radar up until this point, but he’s just as extreme - and just as dangerous to our democracy - as Ji…
