Wait. The President of the United States is begging a court to block money to feed the American people?

38 days into the government shutdown, and House Republicans still refuse to pass a budget that puts people, not politics, first.

President Trump says he is running both the White House and Congress. Speaker Johnson: take back your job and pass a budget to open the government.

Speaker Johnson: The party is over. It's time to get back to work and pass a budget for the people.

Senator Jacky Rosen is saying what we're all thinking: "There is no Speaker Johnson, there is Speaker Trump." Speaker Johnson: Stop letting President Trump run your Congress. It's time to step up and do your job.

It's been weeks since the House of Representatives was last in session. As the government shutdown drags on, it seems like Speaker Johnson and Republicans simply don’t want to work for the American people these days.

Maine voters know the truth and voted for it this week! They rejected a measure that would have made it harder for the military, the elderly, and parents to vote. Let Maine be a strong message to the White House: you won't restrict our right to vote!

Yesterday, voters were united against corruption and the influence of billionaires over the people. We know the cynics and sore losers won’t stop there — they’ll look for ways to take away our right to vote. We’re ready to fight back against any attempt to divide us. Stand with us.

While every other hardworking American showed up for work this morning, House Republicans did not. They're enjoying a paid vacation at your expense. Tell Speaker Johnson: It's time to get back to work and pass a budget for the people.

Election Day is TOMORROW. Make sure you have a plan to vote. Any questions or problems, call or text the nonpartisan hotline 866-OUR-VOTE or 888-VE-Y-VOTA.

Instead of fixing the shutdown he caused, President Trump wants to rig the rules to push his billionaire-first agenda. We need solutions, not silencing our fellow Americans. Congress must get to work negotiating a deal that protects our healthcare and puts people first. thehill.com/homenews/adm...

If Congress want to prove Trump’s not a king, they can start by passing a budget that funds our troops, our health, and the people.

There’s no such thing as an “off year”! Local elections are happening all across the country in just ONE WEEK, and each one plays an important role in shaping our democracy.

Immigrants make America stronger. On #nationalimmigrantsday we celebrate those who’ve shaped our democracy and continue to fight for a future where everyone belongs – no exceptions

Today is day 28 of the government shutdown. The solution is simple: Congress can do its job and pass a budget that protects our healthcare, pays our troops and federal workers, and puts people, not billionaires, first.

Partisan politics should never block access to the ballot. The priority should always be running a fair and free election regardless of political party.

Our message to Indiana lawmakers: Governor Braun might have caved to President Trump’s partisan power grab, but the state legislature doesn’t have to. NO NEW MAPS.

Happy Monday! Here’s your daily reminder that All Supreme Court Justices should be bound to a code of ethics.

Keep redistricting fair. Keep redistricting nonpartisan. Keep power in the hands of the people.

The White House belongs to the people — not Trump or his megadonors. He’s tearing down the East Wing to build a $300 million ballroom funded by Google, Apple, and Amazon — this is a golden invitation for corruption and we’re not going for it!

Every vote in NYC shapes the city’s future—from housing to transit to how safe our streets feel. The mayoral race coming up is one of the most consequential we’ll see. Make your plan today and go vote!

Instead of lowering costs or improving lives, Trump enriched himself & his billionaire friends. Our CEO @virginiaksolomon.bsky.social & board member @cliffalbright.bsky.social told @theguardian.com that millions at #NoKings rallies demand real action—showing we’re a democracy, not an autocracy.

Americans don’t want corporations buying influence and drowning out our voices! We must tackle corruption and ensure that our government works for us by reducing the influence of big money and shining a light on secret money in politics.

Hoosiers don’t want mid-decade redistricting and instead of bowing to President Trump’s demands, leaders in Indiana are prioritizing the wants and needs of their voters. We need more leaders to stand up against Trump and his authoritarian regime. www.commoncause.org/indiana/pres...

We must tackle corruption and ensure our government works for us by reducing the influence of big money in politics and increasing ethical standards for our elected officials.

We’re thrilled to welcome four new members to our National Governing Board: Cliff Albright, Carrie Davis, Quentin James, and Ellen L. Weintraub! Their expertise will help us hold power accountable—from D.C. to statehouses nationwide.

Shutdown: builds himself a ballroom. Health care: won’t lift a finger. Trump’s priorities? Luxury for him, higher costs for you.

When President Trump says “it sort of looks bad,” believe him.

Last week, leaked texts showed young republicans' hateful and unbecoming language for future leaders of our country. Today, more cruel language, but this time by President Trump's chosen nominee. Ask your senator to demand answers from Paul Ingrassia for his language.

President Trump is sending troops into our neighborhoods while denying funding for schools, healthcare, and infrastructure. Tell your senator: no blank checks for a tyrant. Vote NO on the deadly budget bill.

Imagine giving nine people immense power over the future of our nation, granting them lifetime appointments, and failing to put any accountability mechanisms in place. We don’t have to imagine. That’s our Supreme Court. We’re long overdue for a Supreme Court code of conduct.

DC Statehood is a voting rights issue. DC Statehood is a racial justice issue. DC Statehood is a gun safety issue. DC Statehood is a reproductive justice issue.
