Iran in Focus: Stop Trump's War · MoveOn Over the weekend, the United States and Israel launched airstrikes against Iran, a dangerous escalation that risks dragging us into another devastating, decades-long conflict. This war threatens the l...

Tonight at 7!

Tell Congress: No War with Iran Trump has launched unauthorized military strikes on Iran, dragging the United States into yet another war without approval from Congress. This reckless escalation is putting U.S. servicemembers, Ameri...

From immediate oversight, to forcing a vote on a War Powers Resolution, to restricting or cutting off funding for unauthorized hostilities, our Members of Congress must use every lever in their toolbox to put an immediate stop to this war.

Make sure your elected officials hear from you.

Trump is demanding the SAVE Act after riling his base with lies about fraud. The bill could block 21 million citizens by requiring passports or raised seal birth certificates most people lack.

Thank you to Senator Schumer & Gillibrand for fighting to keep it off the floor! #SaveActTaxesYourVote

History is clear: People-led movements—not force, not one politician—are how we end authoritarianism. Every time Trump escalates attacks on everyday people, our movement grows STRONGER.

March 28 will prove we will not back down.

Tell the Senate: Not a penny more for ICE brutality | Indivisible

DHS funding runs out today. That means we have real leverage in this fight since a funding bill can’t pass without Democratic votes. Call your Members of Congress and demand they reject any bill that doesn’t stop ICE and CBP terror.

Senate: 👇

What's more likely to happen with the SAVE Act? Voter suppression, not voter fraud prevention.

The GOP is using this bill as a Trojan horse to restrict voting rights and maintain their power.

Call (202) 224-3121 ＆ tell your MOC to #StopTheSaveAct social.demcast.com/s/QudFPDRs

Opinion | Trump’s Attack on Venezuela Is Illegal and Unwise

"By proceeding without any semblance of international legitimacy, valid legal authority or domestic endorsement, Mr. Trump risks providing justification for authoritarians in China, Russia and elsewhere who want to dominate their own neighbors."

Guest Opinion: Why Large Data Centers Increase Our Energy Bills Since the debate over the TeraWulf data center proposal began, I have repeatedly heard the claim from proponents that data centers do not increase our energy bills. That argument persists,

New op-ed from @amannakelles.bsky.social on how the rapid expansion of energy-intensive data centers throughout the NYSEG service area translates into higher electricity bills for everyday customers, even as those facilities themselves pay comparatively low prices for power. Read her op-ed here:

Over the last year, my office has taken bold action to protect tenants and enforce our housing laws.

Every family deserves a home where they can breathe easy, raise their children, and build a future.

Grand Jury Said to Decline to Re-Indict Letitia James After a judge dismissed the Trump administration’s first attempt to indict the attorney general of New York State, a new grand jury effort failed, according to people familiar with the matter.

Breaking News: A grand jury is said to have declined to re-indict Letitia James, rejecting a Trump effort to revive a criminal case.

Calling them the “Seditious Six” & branding their statements “despicable” before review is textbook definition of prejudgment. No panel, judge, or reviewing authority can claim neutrality once the SECDEF declares the accused guilty. This looks like the procedures used in dictatorships, not the US.

If Congress doesn't act to lower health care costs, families like Ashley's will be forced to choose between paying sky-high premiums or going uninsured.

Extending the enhanced ACA tax credits is pro-family, pro-small business, and pro-American.

These ceremonies are as patriotic as you can get. I got to participate in a Tompkins County naturalization ceremony a few years back and it was incredibly joyous. Everyone was so excited to become an American and that should be celebrated
