"Republicans shut down the government because they care more about their rich donors' tax cuts than about your health care." Below this, two framed images contrast the financial effects:

Right Frame: Shows a photo of three wealthy individuals, including Mark Zuckerberg. Text above reads "Person making $1 million/yr". Text on a red banner at the bottom reads: "pay $97,000 less in taxes 2027".

Republicans are trying to give their rich donors more tax cuts while your health care costs double.

The Election Assistance Commission is considering adopting a rule that voters show proof of U.S. citizenship when registering to vote. This is an underhanded enactment of the SAVE Act. Fight back: click link and post a comment opposing the disenfranchisement of millions of voters, especially women.

The Government Has Been Shut Down for Months Today is the day we stop pretending that it’s not.

The government is already #shutdown, explains @prospect.org And Republicans could fund it themselves--Dems don't need to participate in this charade.

Yesterday, religious, political, and community allies gathered at Burlington's ICE facility to support Salem resident Blanca Martinez. Martinez has lived in Salem for 10 years and has been active w/ the faith-based network, ECCO. Blanca was given a one-year reprieve from deportation! Actions matter.

If you have live in one of these 29 Republican seats please contact your House Member today. Call, email, get everyone you know to join you.

And if you don’t live in one of these 29 districts call, contact your Rep anyway. Congress needs to hear a roar of disapproval from the American people today

I'm angry. You should be too. But this fight isn't over.
YouTube video by Senator Elizabeth Warren I'm angry. You should be too. But this fight isn't over.

After 26 hours of fighting on the Senate floor, Republicans voted to rip health care from millions of people and let little babies go hungry. And they cheered.

Trump’s giant budget-busting, Medicaid-shattering, shafting-the-poor-and-working-class, making-the-rich-even richer bill is a travesty.

We must ensure that senators who voted in favor of this monstrosity are booted out of the Senate as soon as they’re up for reelection.
