People are stepping up to meet the moment in communities large and small across America. That’s worth celebrating.

#DemocracyDocket #MarcElias Our job is to do whatever we can to protect our right to vote in free and fair elections. That means watching election officials and educating ourselves in how laws in our states expand or restrict voting rights.
"The good news is that elections will be held in November. Trump does not have the power to cancel them. He does, however, have the ability to make them less free and less fair."  --Marc Elias, Democracy Docket

Babies are most at risk from Hepatitis B. Many adults carry it without knowing, and it spreads easily. The Hep B vaccine at birth is safe, effective, and prevents lifelong infection and liver disease. Don’t listen to the regime’s disinformation machine — protect the kids.

Women aren’t just refusing to “shut up” — we’re dismantling the whole playbook. Misogyny is the regime’s spine, and women organizing in huge numbers is how democracies survive. From DC to Tennessee, we’re feeding neighbors, flipping districts, and breaking their script. Hell no.

Thank you to Rep. Yassamin Ansari for this act of total badassery—showing what real leadership looks like when others stay silent. Keep bringing the fire, the facts, and the fight. #GOPHealthCareShutdown

Every time Trump escalates his attacks on our communities, the #NoKings movement grows stronger. We, the millions of Americans who make up of this peaceful movement, are coming together on Oct. 18th to say: NO KINGS!

Does anyone remember this? I certainly do. Hold Trump accountable for a shutdown. Those are his words😉 #TrumpsGovernmentShutdown
A picture of Trump quoting him as saying a government shutdown reflects badly on the president.

Make no mistake: this distraction is also a power grab. Militarizing a police force against its own citizens to distract from the Epstein list is not only expensive and ridiculous, it's downright terrifying.

Breaking: Obama administration “committed election fraud” —but Trump is still all over the Epstein files. In spite of Trump’s efforts we cannot forget or condone the violence done to the victims by anyone on the list regardless of party or position.
He wasn’t shot. He didn’t win. He’s on the list.

I don't have TDS -- do you?
Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) - An affliction of the right, causes otherwise normal people to look at a shambling wreck of a man with 5 kids from 3 wives, multiple bankruptcies and business failures and a 50+ year record of white-collar crime and think, "There's the guy I want runing this country!"

Don't get sidetracked by the noise! While Trump's executive orders dominate the headlines, remember that Republicans are quietly pushing legislation like the SAVE Act, which would disenfranchise millions of American women and people of color.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk have aimed their wrecking ball at public schools and the futures of the 50 million students in rural, suburban, and urban communities across America by dismantling public education to pay for tax handouts for billionaires.

People need to understand what this budget the Republicans have proposed for the long term would mean in their everyday lives. So what are they using this Medicaid cut money for? They're using this to give tax cuts to a bunch of billionaires. #SaveMedicaid
