Trump declared a fake energy emergency to justify attacking clean energy.
We see right through it. There is NO energy crisis—only a crisis of greed.
Trump and Elon Musk are dangerous risks to personal and national security, and their recklessness will raise costs for American families.

We’re calling on EVERYONE to add their name right now and demand that Congress block Trump’s planned attack on the Department of Education.

His decision to gut environmental justice programs will expose communities of color and low-income families to even more pollution and extreme weather.
MAGA and the billionaires who installed them remain determined to seize more power, at any cost to everyday Americans, and will attempt to divide and distract us - pitting people and programs against each other - so they can seize our funds to line their pockets.

Because he wants total control.
Dismantling the CFPB lets financial predators run wild and makes the middle class pay the price.
It’s yet another part of the Republican Rip Off: stealing hard-earned money from the American people to reward billionaire donors and big corporations.
The SAVE Act is the GOP’s latest attempt to curtail voting rights.
Under the guise of "election security," this legislation would impose harsh restrictions that could prevent millions of young voters, naturalized citizens, and voters of color — from casting their ballots.
Trump says he’s “fighting for the American worker.”
Let me be clear - his policies would cripple U.S. agriculture, construction, and food industries.
Trump's early actions undermined FAA capacity:
Jan 20: FAA director fired
Jan 21: Air Traffic Controller hiring frozen
Jan 22: Aviation Safety Advisory Committee disbanded
Jan 28: Retirement demand sent to existing employees
Jan 29: First American mid-air collision in 16 years
For the record: A living wage isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity.

Meanwhile, Trump is more worried about renaming the Gulf of Mexico than fixing the problems with our economy.
Every job should be a good job: fair pay, benefits, and dignity. Thats what the next generation deserves!

We must recommit to fighting for an economy that works for everyone not just the wealthy and well connected.
The U.S. spends more on healthcare for worse outcomes.
I believe we must build a system that works for PEOPLE, not profits.
In protecting 625 million+ acres of the U.S. ocean from offshore drilling, President Biden has determined that the environmental and economic risks and harms that would result from drilling in these areas outweigh their limited fossil fuel resource potential.
He is right!

Amazon is the 2nd-largest corporation on the Fortune 500 list. Despite being worth more than $2 trillion, the company fails to pay its workers enough to make ends meet.
Workers have a right to organize & it’s long overdue that Amazon HQ meet the workers at the bargaining table.

This is no surprise. When workers stand together, they win.
Collective action changes lives.
In the face of chaos, we must keep our focus on what matters: fighting for policies that improve the lives of working-class families.

In 2024, the healthcare industry outspent every other sector in lobbying. $500M to keep the system broken.

"The movements for civil rights, women’s rights, workers rights, the United States of America itself, would never have come to be if people had given up their cause after a court case, or a battle, or an election did not go their way." - Kamala Harris

Approximately 45,000 Americans die each year due to a lack of health insurance coverage.
We have the most expensive system in the world, some of the worst healthcare outcomes in the industrialized world.
Time for universal healthcare.
No wonder Americans are fed up.
BREAKING: Vice President Kamala Harris urges young voters to "stay in the fight" in her first major remarks since her concession speech — says "civil rights, women’s rights, workers’ rights" would never have happened if "people had given up."
