Billionaire families have spent $1.7 BILLION on the 2026 midterms so far — a 5,200% increase since the 2010 midterms. Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day. Big Money is the root of our dysfunction.

JD Vance blatantly lies: "We've made a lot of progress. Inflation is way lower today than it was when we took office." (Inflation has gone up!)

Our work is about more than providing services. It’s about standing up for the people and communities who count on us. When we stand together in our union, we have the collective power to make sure our clients are heard and our communities are supported. We're built for this.

This is now a standard part of Trump's campaign stump, a direct threat to voters: if you elect Democrats, I won't send you FEMA money, and I may take away your Medicare and Medicaid, too. These transcripts will be useful for litigation to follow.

The U.S. Senate is up for grabs. Can this Ohio Democrat win back working class votes?
After 32 years in Congress, Ohio's Sherrod Brown lost his Senate seat in 2024 as many working class voters turned out for Trump. Now Brown is counting on union voters to send him back to Washington.
