Estimated cost of Trump's war: $1 billion PER DAY.

That's enough to pay for
- Medicaid for all 16 million people losing it because of Republican budget cuts
- AND daily food stamps for all 41 million people who rely on them

Imagine if we had a government put people over profit.

Kristi Noem was just fired by Trump via social media.

What this shows: the people have power when we speak up.

But the Trump Admin’s campaign of violence doesn't end with her. Trump’s new pick is just the latest in his revolving cast of villains.

Working Families Party Endorses Bob Brooks for US House in PA-07, above a headshot of Bob Brooks.

We're proud to endorse Bob Brooks for Congress in PA-07.

Bob spent 20 years as a firefighter & now serves as president of his union.

Bob is the perfect example of a person we should be sending to D.C. because it’s time to elect real working-class leadership to Congress.

We need a return to bold progressive Black politics versus comfortable Black politics.

The Black agenda over Black faces in high places. That is his legacy.

More of us must follow in the Jackson tradition.

This is a moment of mourning, but also a call to action, because our job is not done. We must take decisive, strategic risks like Rev. Jackson did.

The Reverend knew that our freedom dream could not wait on the timeline of status-quo politics.

When he spoke, people from big cities and rural towns – Black and white and everything in between – hung onto every word. That is the legacy we will be responsible for upholding.

Decades later, his work is the model we use to build a multi-racial, multi-generational coalition that cuts across class – sweeping progressives of all colors into office nationwide to win real victories for working people.

Rest in power to the civil rights icon Jesse Jackson, who was an inspiration for his great city of Chicago, this nation, and the whole world.

And for my party. Because if Jesse Jackson had not run for president, there would be no @workingfamilies.org.

TONIGHT.

We’ll break down what’s happening in Congress, how we can pressure our elected officials in real time, and organize together to stop ICE's campaign of terror.

Our communities have been showing up and meeting this moment. We need to show our leaders we expect just as much from them.

Join the nationwide shutdown tomorrow and say enough is enough: ICE OUT

Earlier today, Senate Democrats stood united to block a bill that included funding for DHS and ICE. Our collective activism made this happen.

This moment is pivotal. Our job is to keep up the pressure.

DHS agents have executed another innocent American.

The Trump Administration has unleashed these agents to act as an extra-judicial force, leading to more and more acts of state-sanctioned violence and murder.

I am so excited for this endorsement!

I know firsthand the passion and drive that @thisisjanekim.bsky.social brings to our work of unrigging CA state government so that it benefits working people, not billionaires & corporations.

Let's get to work!

The murder of a Minneapolis woman by an ICE agent today escalates the Trump Administration’s ongoing terror campaign against our communities.

Renee Nicole Good is dead, shot by a government employee to whom she posed no danger, and this administration is justifying her murder.

Heading into 2026, I feel a powerful defiance. I believe that to overcome dread, we have to earn our way through organizing.

And we will.

Excerpt from article from The American Prospect with headline, "Other Victories for Working Families." Mamdani got the headlines, but New York was not a one-off. Candidates endorsed by the Working Families Party had amazing election successes elsewhere in America.

When Zohran Mamdani won, pundits tried to say it was a fluke.

Joke’s on them. In Jersey City, voters not only turned out in force to elect a new mayor, but for the first time ever, the Jersey City Council will have a Working Families Party majority.

RESULT: James Solomon will be the next mayor of Jersey City.

Solomon, running on a more progressive lane with WFP support, has easily defeated the establishment candidate Jim McGreevey, the former governor who resigned in scandal two decades ago.

We're primarying John Fetterman.

Last week, Fetterman again sold out working Pennsylvanians. He was the deciding vote for a Republican budget bill that will strip healthcare from over 400,000 Pennsylvanians.

We deserve real working class leadership in the Senate, not a Trump-enabling Democrat.
