Americans are facing sky-high food prices. Why? GREED and excessive price gouging by food and grocery giants, who are raking in record profits and blaming price hikes on inflation. We see you.

Thanks to the landmark Infrastructure Law passed by Congress + signed by President Biden, Maine is getting **$28.6 MILLION** help identify + replace remaining lead pipes across Maine so we can eradicate this known health threat for good! 🚰
There are more than 9 million lead service lines across the nation. Today’s $3 billion investment to identify and replace these lines brings the U.S. closer to replacing 100% of lead service lines.

This is shameful. Millions of Americans have had their reproductive freedom stolen by Donald Trump and the Republican Party. I never thought my grandkids would grow up with fewer rights than I had.
Florida banned abortion after six weeks of pregnancy on Wednesday, causing women in several states to travel hundreds of miles to reach a clinic. It is the biggest change to abortion access since the period immediately after the reversal of Roe v. Wade.
