Millions of people in the U.S. are poor because the wealth & resources of our country are not equitably distributed, and federal programs are not meeting the needs of the poor. Join us in mobilizing to create a world where human rights are respected: poorpeoplescampaign.org/join…

At a time when half of older Americans have no retirement savings, House Republicans want to enact huge cuts to Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. Ain’t gonna happen. We need to repeal Trump’s tax breaks for the rich and expand these programs, not cut them.

The government enacts policies that make it possible for children to access guns & then responds to gun violence simply by locking children up. From beginning to end the source of the violence is policymakers

Why is Josh Hawley still in the Senate two years after provoking a deadly insurrection against the U.S. government? And why hasn't Trump been prosecuted yet?

America saw this week what a political insurrection attempt looks like. If they will do this over the speakership, what will they not do to block policies for the people? We need a movement that’s equally committed to insisting that government address the real needs of people.

House Republicans are showing us what you get when you elect people who don’t care about the poor & the least of these, but only their greed & a lust for power. Pay attention. They are making clear what they want to do.

Republicans want to run the country. They can’t even figure out who they want to run their party.

Rev. Dr. William Barber II will devote his Christmas Eve sermon to a moral call for a Christmas Truce in Ukraine. It's part of an effort by 1,000+ faith leaders to promote a diplomatic resolution to the war that began with Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

I voted tonight against the $858 billion Pentagon budget, which is 10% more than last year. At a time when we spend more than the next 11 nations combined on defense, we should invest in health care, jobs, housing and education – not more weapons of destruction.

Forgive me for sounding like a broken record, but how on Earth are we supposed to believe we “can’t afford” paid family leave, universal pre-K, or climate action when our politicians are willing to pass an $858 billion annual defense budget without batting an eye?

I’ve written @SenSchumer & Senate Democrats to urge them to call a vote before the end of this Congress on critical legislation that has already passed the House. I hope you’ll join me in writing to say, “Now is the time” breachrepairers.org/open-let…

Many ppl have proposed different ways to get around obstruction & nullification: talking filibuster, carve outs (like the Byrd rule), or abolition. But it all comes down to this: you can’t say the rules keep you from doing something when you have the power to change the rules.
