We condemn the political violence that took place today in Utah. The shooting of Charlie Kirk was reprehensible. We cannot resort to violence when we disagree.

"Time is running out, but Congress still has an opportunity to prevent the total collapse of the appropriations process."

We’re told there’s never enough money for healthcare or education, yet the House is voting to hand the Pentagon more than $1 TRILLION. @RepAOC, @RepMcGovern, @RepJayapal and I have been calling out the military-industrial complex and demanding accountability for our tax dollars

Earlier this year we published a guide to this issue- check it out to learn more:

This legislation is more important than ever. The legislative branch is supposed to decide how your tax $ are spent, and they need tools to take that power back. Thank you @CongBoyle for introducing the Congressional Power of the Purse Act!

Right now, Congress has an unprecedented opportunity to pass a ban on Congressional stock trading. To help make this happen, we need you to raise your voice. Tell YOUR reps to #StopTheTrades:

Last week, POGO's Faith Williams published a piece warning just how dangerous executive overreach is to our already-dysfunctional appropriations process. Read it to learn more:

This tracker from the House Appropriations Committee Minority shows that the administration has blocked over 400 BILLION in funding this year. These are funds that are supposed to be supporting communities across the country.

Tune in: Today, POGO's Joe Spielberger is testifying before the House Oversight Committee on the importance of whistleblower protections. The hearing is set to start at 10AM ET.

"If the executive branch can rescind congressionally approved funding with impunity, then there is ultimately very little need for Congress to weigh in on spending at all." Read more from Faith Williams on the danger of so-called "pocket rescissions" ⬇️

There's massive bipartisan and public support for a Congressional stock trading ban. The time to act is now. #StopTheTrades

Earlier this week, we called on you to tell your representatives to oppose the deployment of troops in Washington, D.C. Want to know what else you can do? If you’re in the area, join this rally to make your voice heard.

Check out POGO's David Janovsky talking about the admin's threats to deploy the National Guard into more cities: "I think it would be a very alarming overreach for the president to federalize the National Guard and send them into any of these cities."

Congress needs to act before it cedes its spending power permanently. Repeated executive overreach is pushing an already unstable process closer to breaking. Learn how:

This week, Pres. Trump threatened to send the National Guard into more cities, showing that what is happening in Washington, D.C. could happen anywhere. If you're in D.C., join this rally on Saturday to stand up against the militarization of our streets.

You deserve a Congress that puts the public ahead of stock portfolios. That's why we were so excited to see the Restore Trust in Congress Act introduced yesterday. This is long awaited bipartisan legislation to stop Congressional stock trading. It's time to #StopTheTrades.

There’s a lot to be said about this seemingly unprovoked strike on a noncombatant boat. Blowing up a boat that doesn't pose a threat is a clear-cut act of war. This is a violation of war powers, and Congress must take immediate action.

The president's latest threats to send the National Guard into Chicago and Baltimore are just the latest examples of this administration's dangerous, egregious executive overreach. Congress must prioritize using the full extent of its power to end this blatant power grab.

The Trump admin is already threatening to militarize other cities akin to what they're doing in D.C. right now. This cannot stand. Join the national day of action and call your member of Congress NOW. Check out our script for help:

This federal court has affirmed what we knew to be true all along: the use of National Guard troops in Los Angeles was against the law. All these domestic deployments need to end now.
