The #POWERAct stops data centers from passing their energy costs on to us. Gov. Tina Kotek (OR) signed it. Her MAGA opponent, Christine Drazan, voted against it. Since then, rates are down for Oregon families and up for data centers, all thanks to our work on the POWER Act. Power to the people!

ANOTHER DHS VOTER FRAUD CLAIM COLLAPSES Trump’s DHS claimed as many as 15,903 noncitizens were on Nevada’s voter rolls. Nevada pushed back and demanded evidence. 15,903 became 185. Nevada checked the 185. The new number: ZERO. Every single one was a US citizen.
