BREAKING: Congress passes Trump's Big Ugly Bill

Trump and the Republicans sold working families out. John, After November’s elections, pundits and beltway insiders couldn’t stop talking about how Republicans were becoming the “party of the working class.” The GOP just proved to everyone how wrong that hot take was.…

Emergency mass call tonight: Healthcare, not warfare

Urgent: Tell Congress to block Trump’s war plans against Iran

A large majority of Americans are against U.S. military intervention in Iran. Donald Trump could be on the brink of sending U.S. troops into another destructive war in the Middle East, John — this time with Iran. But we’ve seen this movie before, and we know how it ends. Defens…

June 14: NO KINGS! National Day of Action

This Saturday, June 14th, Donald Trump is throwing himself a $100 million military parade for his birthday, John. There won’t be cake. Or candles. Just tanks rolling down D.C. streets. Troops on display. A show of brute force — paid for with our tax dollars. All while Trump and …
