Clean energy is cheaper than fossil fuels, creates good-paying American jobs, and can power our tech economy.

Republicans are hellbent on killing itβ€”even though their own districts have the most to lose.

Trump has pardoned multiple convicted fraudsters β€” including a former GOP Congressman and two reality TV stars.Β 

He's also dropped or halted 100+ enforcement actions against corporate offenders β€” including 34 companies that funded his inauguration.

Is this being "tough on crime"?

How are Republicans planning to pay for their latest round of tax cuts for the rich?

By kicking millions off health care and gutting the social safety net.

But that's not all.

They also plan to sell off public land and water to Big Oil.

Trickle down economics on steroids.

Republicans want to kill 42,000 Georgia clean energy jobs to pay for Trump’s billionaire tax cuts.

Ed Martin may well be Trump's worst nominee – and that's a tough competition.

He can’t be trusted to defend the rule of law. And I won't stop fighting his nomination.

Busting up big corporations.Β 

Tackling Wall Street’s greed.

Strengthening unions and fighting for higher wages.

This is the progressive populist agenda we need in America.

This isn’t who we are as a country. We don’t steal people off the streets, refuse them their day in court, deport them to foreign prisons–and then defy a Supreme Court order to bring them back.

Bring Kilmar Abrego Garcia home now.
