The GOP took >100 days to pass a budget, but 2 days to weaken your voting rights. They’re scared of their own voters—but we aren’t. Gov. Stein vetoed HB 958, and Dems will vote to uphold that veto, because we will protect every eligible voter’s right to cast a ballot that counts.

Don’t let this fly under the radar: the Trump administration wants to kick ~6 million more people off of food assistance programs, including nearly 2 million children. That would save just $1 billion a year, while Trump spends upwards of $1 billion per *day* on his new forever war. Priorities.
