I recently heard the story of a New Mexican man who died because he couldn’t afford an inhaler and couldn’t reach the ER in time. Now Trump’s Big Ugly Bill makes that nightmare even worse. By slashing Medicaid and Medicare, it will force more rural emergency rooms in New

Today, we honor the brave Navajo Code Talkers. Those 29 men are the definition of strength and honor in the face of adversity. We won’t let Trump erase their legacy.
#OTD, we remember and honor the National Navajo Code Talkers, whose ingenuity and bravery significantly impacted the Pacific Island-Hopping Campaign of World War II. Their unbreakable code, rooted in the Diné language, helped secure crucial victories for the U.S. Marine Corps.

Trump just sent masked agents to the press conference where California legislators unveiled their Election Rigging Response Act. @realDonaldTrump, we won’t be intimidated by authoritarian tactics. We know you are afraid of voters who will reject your policies of raising prices.

Trump wants to kick 115,000 kids out of Head Start – 16% of the program – just because they're immigrant children. These are our neighbors, our friends. Denying early education hurts kids for life – all for Trump’s anti-immigrant politics. This is yet another way this

TSA officers work hard to keep us safe. Meanwhile, the Trump administration is attacking all federal unions, including the VA and TSA. Federal workers deserve protection from Trump's anti-worker rampage.
