I am excited (and a bit nervous) about the elections taking place tomorrow. I think that we need to see record-setting turnout and strong wins by Mamdani (NYC), Spanberger (VA), Sherrill (NJ), and Prop 50 (CA). The future of our democracy hangs in the balance!

The largest SNAP cuts in history went into effect yesterday, eliminating or drastically cutting food assistance for millions of Americans. And it’s all to pay for more tax cuts that primarily benefit the super-rich. Trickle-down economics isn't just a hoax — it's cruel.

Why is Trump waging a war on the Department of Education? Because he knows that his biggest enemies are educators and younger generations of learners who are unafraid to speak truth to power. Attacks on education are central to the fascist playbook.

DOGE's next target is the CFPB, which has returned $20B to the victims of financial fraud and abuse since 2011. Trump just fired its pro-consumer director and had his Treasury Secretary, a hedge fund manager, halt the CFPB's work. This is a coup against the American people.
