We’re glad that Kristi Noem has been fired and she should face real accountability for DHS’ rampant violence. But Noem’s firing doesn’t suddenly solve the crisis at DHS. Swapping personnel without changing course is not accountability — it’s a spin tactic. What we really need is structural change.

What's more likely to happen with the SAVE Act? Voter suppression, not voter fraud prevention. The GOP is using this bill as a Trojan horse to restrict voting rights and maintain their power. Call (202) 224-3121 & tell your MOC to #StopTheSaveAct social.demcast.com/s/QudFPDRs

Calling them the “Seditious Six” & branding their statements “despicable” before review is textbook definition of prejudgment. No panel, judge, or reviewing authority can claim neutrality once the SECDEF declares the accused guilty. This looks like the procedures used in dictatorships, not the US.

If Congress doesn't act to lower health care costs, families like Ashley's will be forced to choose between paying sky-high premiums or going uninsured. Extending the enhanced ACA tax credits is pro-family, pro-small business, and pro-American.
