If there is any hope of winning a liberal majority in this year’s Senate races, it is essential that the seat being vacated by NH Sen. Jean Shaheen (D) remains in Democratic hands. Vying to replace her are Rep. Chris Pappas (D) & former Senator John Sununu (R). READ: adaction.org/spotlight-on...

Who’s funding ICE?!? US! The US tax payer - AND - the billionaire corporations we all frequent. The government is giving billionaire corporations to monitor and terrorize Americans: READ THIS: americansfortaxfairness.org/ices-corpora...

We wrote about this horror last year, & in the interim, it has only gotten worse, so it bears repeating. The days of racial profiling are back. Instead of moving forward in our quest for civil rights, we are moving hell bent backward to our nation’s discriminatory past. adaction.org/spotlight-on...

After bombing Caracas’s and announcing intentions to “get the oil flowing,” clearly Trump is preparing to “run” Venezuela’s internal affairs while extracting its resources. Taxpayers should NOT help pad the pockets of big oil. TELL CONGRESS: No Taxpayer $ For Big Oil! bit.ly/NoTaxDollars4BigOil

The very soul of our nation is at risk and only a Congress which is willing to stand up to the Bully in Chief can begin to right this terrible wrong. We will focus 2026 Spotlights not just on issues but also on key races in the House & Senate. Our first of 2026: OH-09. adaction.org/spotlight-on...

HAPPY NEW YEAR As we say farewell to 2025 & prepare our 2026 resolutions. We realize that, while we will continue to work on the issues, nothing is more critical than electing liberals up and down the ticket this Nov. READ THIS: adaction.org/spotlight-on...

Now that Christmas 2025 is in the rear-view mirror, we think the Ghost of Christmas Past should do an encore before going into hibernation until 2026. A visit to the toddler in chief to remind him that his revenge tour has dire consequences. Read: adaction.org/spotlight-on...

We’ll admit we didn’t listen to the POTUS 12/17 speech. It’s a weakness but we can’t abide the sound of his voice. We did read it in its entirety. And aside from more immigrant bashing, there was no mention of the current unemployment statistics. Take a look: adaction.org/spotlight-on...

Perhaps it shouldn’t be surprising. After all, in POTUS’ first term when COVID was running rampant & thousands lay dying, he famously asked members of the coronavirus task force to look into whether disinfectants could be injected inside people for COVID. adaction.org/spotlight-on...

Carefully Taught. There’s a famous song in the musical South Pacific which begins, “You’ve got to be taught to hate and fear, You’ve got to be taught from year to year…” Heard it? We already know that the President was “carefully taught.” READ MORE HERE: adaction.org/spotlight-on...

Last week asked you to thank the 6 Dems who had the courage to stand up to the machinations of an Admin that thinks the law of the land is a mere speed bump to achieving its spurious, hateful goals. We revisit these courageous 6 in this week’s spotlight: adaction.org/spotlight-on...

Typically when we write it is to ask you to contact your Sens/Reps asking them to have the courage to show true leadership in the face of adversity.

Last week during a press briefing with Saudi Prince Mohammed bin Salman, a reporter had the temerity to ask about the murder of Washington Post reporter Jamal Khashoggi.

The destruction at the White House is horrific but it pales in comparison to the destruction being writ large on our nation as a whole as the President disregards the rule of law, creates a police state, dismantles our health systems & wreaks havoc on the economy.

In just over 2 weeks, the eyes of the nation will be focused on an increasingly competitive Governor’s race in VA. It is essential that we do EVERYTHING we can to ensure that Trump’s Administration is sent a message that Virginia does not stand with them. Read here: adaction.org/issue-activi...

It was 90 degrees at the top of the Alps this Summer. Wild fires rage. “100-year storms” and destructive floods occur regularly. Glaciers are melting. Cities are flooding. Oceans are rising. Tornados are being seen where they have never before been. READ: adaction.org/issue-activi...

Shoot The Messenger? The numbers don’t add up. At all. Friday’s jobs report definitively put to the lie what this Administration has been peddling: that the economy is doing splendidly. It isn’t and the numbers underscore that fact. READ MORE HERE: adaction.org/issue-activi...

Medicaid and Medicare have been around for 60 years. But it took less than 6 months for Trump and the GOP to pass a bill that kicks 10 million people off Medicaid rolls, cuts $500 billion from Medicare and raises premiums for millions of Americans. This is not how you make America healthy again.

How do we elect progressive leaders, rebuild our democracy & defeat the Trump agenda? Indivisible's Ezra Levin has the answers. Join ADA National Chair Andy Thorburn for the discussion on Episode 1 of the ADA podcast “Insights." youtu.be/j5YDZttZd54?...

Anti-choice…yes. Pro-life not so much. The hypocrites in charge of our gov't continually work hard to prove former ADA president, former Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA) correct when he famously said that conservatives believe, “life begins at conception and ends at birth.” adaction.org/issue-activi...

We promised we wouldn’t go after every shiny object Trump throws our way, & we won’t. So this Spotlight will NOT be about Rosie O’Donnell. Instead, we will focus on Trump’s assault on programs designed to promote world peace, health care & education. adaction.org/issue-activi...
