𝐍𝐄𝐖: House Democrats just passed the Active Shooter Alert Act, critical legislation that would help law enforcement send out AMBER-style alerts when an active shooter is in their community. 168 Republicans voted against it.
BREAKING: After flipping FORTY seats from red to blue in 2018, we've officially got our sights set on THIRTY-THREE more -- and we're ready to get to work!
Take a look at our first offensive battlefield of the 2020 cycle:

What do an FBI arrest, a special prosecutor, insider trading, tax breaks spent on yachts, and not disclosing shady businesses all have in common?
It all stinks of Republican corruption.
Let's take a look 👀
Welcome to our newest Frontline member, Rep. Ben Wyatt!
As the former Mayor of Partridge, Rep. Wyatt knows the meaning of creativity and hard work. Ben also created the popular game Cones of Dunshire. After flipping this R+13 district, we know he can win big in November again.
BREAKING: With today's final victory in

One thing has never been more clear:

We need to elect a Democratic House that will.

Democrats' margin of victory just reached the largest vote lead ever recorded in midterm history.
To every student, immigrant, asylum seeker, Medicare recipient, LGBTQ community member, and middle-class family harmed by the GOP: This one's for you.
Barack Obama fought for us for 8 years as President. He fought for us so hard this year on the campaign trail, he lost his voice. Now, he's only asking for one thing in return: Get out & vote to PROTECT our progress.

For Republicans to pass trillions in tax breaks for their billionaire donors, then rob hardworking Americans of promised pay raises due to "budget" concerns tells you everything you need to know about who Rs *actually* answer to.

House Dems are just five seats short of reclaiming our majority in 2024. We must take back power from extremist Republicans working to drag our country backwards.

#WomensHistoryMonth
Two months ago, Paul Ryan announced his retirement at age 48 with full benefits funded by taxpayers.
And last night, he and his Rs passed a rescissions package that decimates Medicare and robs seniors of the same post-retirement security they will enjoy. We won't forget it.
Make no mistake – it was because of House Democrats that our troops will be paid, our national parks will be open, and critical services millions of Americans count on will continue uninterrupted by a government shutdown.
💯 days ago this week, a newly elected class of diverse and energetic Democrats was sworn into the U.S. House, unified by a commitment to getting real results for their constituents back home.

BREAKING: We just announced House Democrats' initial Districts In Play for the 2022 election cycle. These 22 competitive districts across the country will be critical battlegrounds as we work to protect our Democratic House Majority.
Take a look at our first offensive targets:
Rs came for our health care.
They came for our immigrants.
They came for our wallets.
They came for our Medicare.
They came for our LGBTQ+ community.
They came for our students.
They came for President Obama's legacy.
Today, we're coming for their seats.

Never — NEVER — again can they be trusted to govern.

2 years ago, Nate Silver gave Hillary Clinton an 80%+ chance to win the Presidency — today, Nate Silver gives Democrats an 80%+ chance to win the House.
We cannot let history repeat itself 8 days from now. Take nothing for granted and get out and vote!
How to be America's worst Speaker of the House—a step-by-step guide prepared by Paul Ryan:
Step 1: steal health care from millions
Step 2: cut taxes for billionaire donors
Step 3: help Trump cover up Russian ties
Step 4: gut Social Security and Medicare
Step 5: quit Congress
Something's rotten in the Republican Party when staffers quit because the Trump Administration "has turned its back on young people and their financial futures."
We must end this GOP

Democrats' infrastructure bill will replace all of our nation’s lead pipes and deliver clean drinking water to millions of households, schools and child care centers currently without.

- rescued our economy
- protected DREAMers with DACA
- fought for LGBTQ rights
- signed the Paris Agreement
And so much more, all we can say is: Thanks, Obama and happy

To win the House and make history on November 6, we knew we needed to mobilize, engage, and activate key African American, Hispanic, and young voters.

Good morning! In the last six months, Democrats have delivered 3,000,000 new jobs and stabilized our economy while Republicans spiraled and sank further into conspiracy theories.
ICYMI: 21 House Republicans refused to award the highest civilian honor to police who defended democracy on January 6th. A remarkably sad and embarrassing move, even for
