Trump & Republicans want to slash billions from Medicaid—risking care for 80M Americans, 8M home care recipients & coverage for 40% of births—all to fund tax breaks for billionaires like Elon Musk. Gutting this lifeline harms kids, parents, seniors & disabled folks. We didn’t vote for this. #HandsOffOurMedicaid

Loved joining @jonstewart last night and sharing how we supercharged @WisDems.
We beat a rigged Republican supermajority and brought democracy back to our state.
Let's do this nationwide.

Today's ruling to restore collective bargaining rights for public employees in Wisconsin is a victory for working families.
It's clear that Scott Walker’s attack on public employees was not just a national disgrace, it was unconstitutional.

In this moment of fear and uncertainty, we pledge to fight Trump's deportation agenda and demonization of immigrants. We will continue Chicago's proud tradition as a welcoming city and sanctuary city. We will keep our neighbors and communities safe.

Honored to be the first Black trans woman elected to public office in Cook County tonight. Together, we’ve made history. Over the next two years, I’ll fight to protect Lake Michigan, champion environmental justice, and amplify voices too long ignored. The work continues.

It has always been up to all of us to build the communities of solidarity, resistance, and care we need, together. Let’s turn to each other and prepare to continue the fight in old and new ways.
See you in the organizing meetings, on the picket lines, in the streets.

In response to the racist vitriol I’m listening to right now let me say: migrants and undocumented Chicagoans ARE Chicagoans. Their home is HERE. And we are not letting them be stolen away from their communities.

Rashida Tlaib is doing GOTV in Michigan. The Uncommitted movement are up on the air with anti-Trump ads.
These folks deserved so much better from the party. But in spite of it all, they know how much is at stake and they're throwing in to fight against the fascist movement.
DETROIT, MICHIGAN:
GOTV RALLY TONIGHT 🗳️
WITH THE ONE AND ONLY @RashidaTlaib 👑
AND THE GREAT @ShawnFainUAW 💪🏽
LET’S GO WIN THIS WHOLE DAMN BALLOT‼️
I’LL BE OPENING FOR LOS TIGRES DEL NORTE AFTERWARDS TOO 🎸

I wrote about Michelle Obama, the MSG rally, men, women, dehumanization, beta males, menopausal women, Gaza, and the terrible, old core of what we're fighting about as we come to the end: who's a full person? nymag.com/intelligencer/arti…

As a proud daughter of Guatemalan immigrants, I'm clear on how our families have contributed to building this nation. On #NationalImmigrantsDay, I celebrate the ways immigrants enrich our nation from our culture and history to our economy. We see you and we appreciate you!

I have some real concerns about what another Trump presidency means for women in this country — and I wanted to share some of my thoughts. If this resonates with you, send this video to every single person you know and remind them what’s at stake in this election.

JD Vance says the problem with child care is that we have way too few people to provide that care.
I can say for sure, as someone who works with those people, that they are here. They just can’t survive on the wages they earn.
