VIRGINIA: Early voting has started! Let’s protect our freedoms at the ballot box. Make your plan to vote: IWillVote.com

Did you know? Every year, the Supreme Court’s nine justices fill out a form that discloses their financial connections to companies and people. Our database allows you to search for organizations and people that have paid them, reimbursed them for travel and given them gifts.

Later this week, the Senate could vote on a bill that would turbocharge Trump’s corruption. Republicans only need to peel off a handful of Democrats to pass this crypto legislation, so our senators need to hear from us. Send an email and demand that your senators vote NO on the CLARITY Act.

All of our organizing to win the midterms and protect the results is powered by the grassroots. A contribution of $5 or $10 allows us to do even more work to get out the vote in the nine states and 31 congressional districts that will decide this election. Please pitch in if you can!

We're training at least 100,000 volunteers to defeat Trump’s next coup attempt before, during, and after the election. It’s up to all of us. Sign up below.

That cardboard box in your home is fueling election denial... A boom in profits for the shipping supply giant Uline provided the funds for a deeply conservative Midwestern family to bankroll anti-democracy causes around the country. (Published 2022)

GOOD NEWS UPDATE! Republicans do NOT have the votes to pass the corruption-enabling CLARITY Act before Congress goes on recess this weekend! The bill stalled because of grassroots pressure — YOUR calls, emails, and in-person actions.

I love Talarico and hope he wins. But he’s already raised $70M On the flipside, control of critical state legislatures will come down to seats where candidates raise 0.1% of that. I’ve researched the highest leverage swing district candidates you should donate to secure.actblue.com/donate/donat...

We are being reminded that a fundamental issue of our day isn’t the size of the government or how to make government more “efficient.” It’s who our government actually works for. Should it work mainly for big corporations and billionaires? Or should it work for the rest of us?

When the Pentagon announced a $620 million loan last year to a startup linked to Donald Trump Jr., defense officials and the company tried to tamp down suspicions of cronyism. We found that the request came directly from the White House. (Published May)

Regardless of politics, we can all agree that the President should stop lying to the American people about Iran’s capabilities, right? It’s insane that we’re sticking to the “completely obliterated” lie while Iran is actively killing Americans.

This is a variation of the "but does he really *mean* what he says" navel-gazing. It ultimately doesn't matter who a public official really is in private or what they secretly believe. It's what they actually do with their power that matters.

Did an amazing show in Gardiner, ME last night, and got to meet a local author!

AOC: The Republican Party’s brand is fear. They constantly want Americans in fear of somebody because, if you are not afraid of someone who is your neighbor, you’re going to realize who’s actually pickpocketing you.

Julia Roberts: We all feel like, “I can’t turn the news on. I don’t want to hear it.” But we have to hear it. We have to face it. But if we keep inhaling and exhaling, we will prevail.

I know those of you with GOP senators and reps think calling or emailing them is useless, but they're wavering right now. Make sure they know how you feel about the ballroom, the slush fund, Trump's corruption, and ICE. Even if you don't think it'll change their vote, make sure they hear your rage.

If releasing your tax returns and the Epstein files would end your presidency, then your presidency must end. It’s that simple.

The Republican message is clear: Either you help us cover up the truth about Trump and his rapist pal Epstein, or we’ll ruin you.

Trump doesn't care about the economic plight of the average American because he's too busy calling his broker His stunning 3,700 trades in just 3 months in firms like Palantir, Nvidia and Boeing should be another Watergate. Here's how to make it one My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/trum...

Fascists throughout history have perverted the rule of law to achieve power and impose their own brand of lawlessness. That's what's happening in our country right now. Get active before it's too late.

"If Trump banned all Democrats from the polls, the media would call it rigged."

In all, at least 75 career federal officials who’d played important roles in elections have left, been fired or been reassigned. In their place are roughly two dozen people Trump has installed in positions that could affect elections.

Much of the cardboard and paper goods strewn about our homes are sold by a single private company, with its name, Uline, stamped on the bottom. Many may not know that a multibillion-dollar fortune made on those ubiquitous products fuels far-right candidates across the country. (Published 2022)

Donald Trump and Republicans have tried to rig the 2026 midterms. Today in Virginia, voters sent them a clear message: The power is with the people.

Three GOP Reps who are anchored in reality and believe in sanity and their oaths to the Constitution could, working together, flip this whole f*cking thing on its head while there's still time. Same with 4 GOP Senators. They would be forever remembered as heroes to Democracy.

Fuck these fucking people, man

In November, we’re going to win back the House, the Senate, governorships, and state legislatures across our country. And we’re going to build the largest midterm margins against the incumbent party that our nation has ever seen. Please support our nationwide organizing work to make it all happen.

Republicans have razor-thin majorities. They’re vulnerable. If we organize now in swing districts, we CAN flip seats and take back power.
