The SAVE Act (and SAVE 2.0) would make it harder for millions of eligible Americans to cast their ballots — all under the false claim that it stops non-citizens from registering (which is already illegal). Eliza Sweren-Becker & Owen Bacskai for @brennancenter.org

This Texas "upset" isn’t just about one seat. Voters in a deep-red, Trump-won district rejected MAGA politics despite GOP money and endorsements. This is how harmful policies get reversed to protect workers, healthcare and schools — one election at a time. Momentum like this is how midterms flip.

Black History Month reminds us: resilience fuels progress. Democracy survives only when rights and civil liberties are protected for all. As authoritarianism rises, we must stand together to defend our democracy. #BlackHistoryMonth2026

V4P’s President @sandrafluke.bsky.social writes: When tax cuts for the wealthy turn into health care cuts for everyone else, families pay the price. Letting ACA credits expire to fund billionaire giveaways is a choice—and it’s the wrong one. @taxgreed.bsky.social

Arresting journalists for doing their job is what authoritarian governments do—not democracies. This is a chilling attack on press freedom, full stop. @donlemonofficial.bsky.social

A govt shutdown won’t slow ICE enforcement; agents will keep operating even if DHS funding lapses, backed by billions already appropriated. Meanwhile, America mourns the loss of life at the hands of federal officers. Shutdown or not, the public deserves dignity, safety, transparency, and respect.

After the second fatal shooting of a U.S. citizen by federal immigration officers in Minneapolis, Senate Democrats say they won’t fund DHS without new guardrails on ICE and CBP. That stand could trigger a partial shutdown, but this is a rare opportunity to demand accountability.

ACA enrollment deadlines are closing just as expanded subsidies expire, which will double premiums for many. From retirees to gig workers to parents, families face impossible choices while Congress remains deadlocked. Amid this all, one thing is clear: America needs expanded healthcare, not less.

Trump’s EPA wants to pretend climate pollution isn’t bad for human health actually. By targeting the EPA’s “endangerment finding,” Lee Zeldin could unravel the legal foundation of U.S. climate rules — because nothing says leadership like ignoring science and lungs. 🫠 @grist.org

Extending ACA subsidies should be a non-negotiable. People deserve healthcare that is both affordable and accessible, regardless of their tax bracket. Republicans' history of blocking progress is a choice to protect private interests, and the American people are taking note.

Five years after January 6, the threat to democracy hasn’t faded—it’s grown. Political violence is at its highest level since the 1970s, and global democracy experts no longer classify the U.S. as a full democracy. The American people do not need a rewrite of history; they deserve accountability.

Even Mitt Romney is saying the quiet part out loud: it’s time for the wealthy to pay more in taxes. The backlash from the WSJ editorial board says less about “sacrifice” and more about defending a rigged system. Budgets are moral documents and tax policy is about priorities. #StopTheScam

Masked men with guns ≠ safety. 🚫 Transparency = basic public safety. ✅ @civilrightsorg.bsky.social We should be able to send our kids to school without worrying that they might run into armed, unidentified agents! Demand accountability now: bit.ly/3YlVcIO #MasksOffRightsOn

As a proud member of the @civilrightsorg.bsky.social V4P echoes this important call: the DOJ Civil Rights Division must uphold the Constitution and protect equal justice for all #CivilRights

States will face new SNAP and Medicaid costs under the one big beautiful bill; many are already constrained by years of tax cuts that favored the wealthy. This moment makes one thing clear: budgets are moral documents, and priorities must center on people, not political giveaways.

Trickle-down economics? More like trickle-NONE economics. #taxjustice #taxthewealthy

From D.C. to Memphis — and possibly New Orleans — the National Guard is being egregiously misused, deployed for political intimidation instead of the public safety and disaster response they’re meant for. More here: mkong.substack.com/p/make-ameri...

In the past 394 days, Corrupt Trump and his family have received over $1.8 billion in cash and gifts as he sells off access to the White House while working families face rising prices across the board. It doesn't get more out of touch than this.

Senate Dems and Republicans are floating competing healthcare proposals and side-by-side votes while Americans watch. Through all of this, the stakes are high: families need affordable coverage, and the political back-and-forth must not overshadow that. miacmccarthy.bsky.social for @politico.com

In Trump's pay-for-play White House, it's a good time to be a criminal who takes advantage of hardworking Americans. What ever happened to the party of law and order?

Today is the National Day of Mourning, a time to honor Indigenous ancestors and confront the violent history behind Thanksgiving. These harms persist through attacks on tribal sovereignty and ongoing injustice. Progress requires truth, accountability, and action.

Millions rely on ACA subsidies for stable, affordable care. Using health coverage as a political bargaining tool puts families at risk. The ACA is life-saving reform, not a pawn in some game. Health care access should strengthen democracy, not be chipped away by backroom deals.

This Trans Day of Remembrance, remembering those lost is a solemn responsibility: the rising attacks on trans communities remain a threat to our collective safety, dignity, and democracy. Honoring this day means advocating for policies that expand safety, dignity, and opportunity for trans people.

The end of the shutdown brings relief, but millions now face losing SNAP permanently. The administration’s cuts are weakening vital safety nets. Undermining programs that keep families fed is a direct threat to economic stability and a functioning democracy. [@marciabrown.bsky.social/ @politico.com]

There's a law on the books to make corporations pay taxes on the huge profits they report to shareholders. The Trump admin has quietly decided not to enforce it. This de facto corporate tax break will add hundreds of billions to the deficit. Why is no one talking about this?

When good policy meets public needs, communities can thrive.

The government shutdown has led to flight delays and cancellations for everyday Americans – but not for those rich enough to fly private. In fact, October was the best month for private aviation in nearly 20 years, with 245,000 private jet departures.

The Trump administration has made it clear: it wants to take food away from hungry families—it'll even go to court over it.

Coloradans just voted to raise taxes on the wealthy to feed every child and strengthen SNAP. Across the U.S., voters are backing fair taxes that fund care and dignity. Congress should take note: Americans want an economy that works for everyone. @taydolven.bsky.social for @coloradosun.com

Big night for Democrats! Abigail Spanberger’s victory reflects a clear message from voters: they want leaders who will lower costs, create opportunity, and stand up for reproductive rights.

Mississippi Democrats flipped 3 legislative seats & broke the GOP's Senate supermajority, @ashtonpittman.bsky.social writes: www.mississippifreepress.org/mississippi-...

Today, the choices are clear: fear or freedom, control or care. Democracy is not self-sustaining; it depends on people showing up, voting their values, and staying engaged long after the ballots are cast. It's time to shape a government that serves everyone, not just the wealthy and powerful few.

A Virginia judge just rejected Republicans’ bid to block a constitutional amendment that could allow the state to redraw its congressional map, keeping fair representation efforts alive. For now, Virginia voters, not politicians, still have a say in shaping their democracy.

As headlines focus on a Texas Tylenol lawsuit, a crisis is unfolding: 42 million people are about to lose food assistance in November. The USDA says it can’t pay SNAP benefits during the shutdown, leaving families to choose between rent, heat, and food. Americans deserve better. Tami Luhby/@cnn.com

Philanthropy Should Support Frontline Leadership in Times of Crisis nonprofitquarterly.org/philanthropy... @rhettayersbutler.bsky.social

With ACA open enrollment starting Nov 1, @americanprogress.bsky.social warns: expiring tax credits + restrictive rules = higher premiums & fewer options. Millions risk losing coverage — Congress MUST ACT to protect access to care. www.americanprogress.org/article/open...

SNAP is running out of money. Let’s be clear: that means 42 MILLION people, including 1.2 MILLION veterans, are about to lose their food assistance. Working people, seniors and kids across the country will go hungry because of the Trump shutdown.

Across the country this weekend, millions gathered under one message: No Kings. From D.C. to San Francisco, protesters called out Trump’s growing authoritarianism. Leaders serve the people, not rule over them. Democracy is strongest when we remember that truth. #NoKings

GOTV in NJ!

CA just took a stand for equity! @governor.ca.gov signed two V4P-backed bills: SB 59 (Transgender Privacy Act) & SB 635 (Street Vendor’s Protection Act)—protecting privacy + livelihoods as Trump targets vulnerable communities. #CAleg #Justice

Jobs are stagnating, prices are skyrocketing, and many states are already in recession—but our president and his investor-class cronies don’t care. While Donald Trump continues to line his own pockets, American workers are the ones paying the price. trib.al/y2wOqiY

Trump & Mike Johnson are turning this shutdown into a power grab. Programs vital to Americans’ health and well-being are on the chopping block while their priorities speed ahead. When public service is used as a bargaining chip, the American people pay the price. (Lisa Mascaro for @apnews.com)

"Who are the pawns on the chessboard...the American people." #GovShutdown #StoptheScam

On #IndigenousPeoplesDay, we honor the original stewards of this land. True climate justice centers Indigenous sovereignty and knowledge—not just today, but every day. We must do better to listen, learn, and act. #ClimateJustice

Trump's threats to “cut Democrat programs” turns public service into political warfare. Our democracy depends on leaders who govern for the benefit of all, not those who weaponize power to harm. #StopTheScam #ProtectPublicServices

#GovShutdown #Healthcare

Today is #LatinaEqualPayDay, the day that Latina pay *finally* catches up to what White, non-Hispanic men made last year alone. That’s injustice—plain and simple. America’s unions are fighting to end the wage gap for good, and a union contract is how we level the playing field.

Poll finds that the majority of people in the U.S. support #ACA subsidy extension: “According to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, 93% of ACA enrollees receive the tax credit to help reduce costs”. Read more: spectrumlocalnews.com/us/snplus/he...

@jenna-m-norton.bsky.social “Every awful thing that would happen in a shutdown...is already happening.” This isn’t about partisanship. It’s about stopping the erosion of our public services. It’s time to protect the programs that serve our communities and stand up to authoritarianism. #StopTheScam
