For 33 years, McConnell has voted against family and medical leave for working Americans. Then he disappears from the Senate for 92 days and keeps collecting his full paycheck. Apparently, paid leave is only a problem when someone else gets it.

It’s insane that people in Congress are paid over $174K a year in taxpayer dollars whilst making millions of dollars from insider trading whilst getting 18 vacations a year as Americans all over the country struggle to pay for rent, gas and groceries.

"McConnell would never be allowed to drive a car, babysit young children, or file his own taxes. Why, then, should a cognitively incapacitated 82-year-old retain one of the most important positions of power within the national government?"

ICE agent, Christian Castro, shot a MN resident, fled the state, & was caught in TX. @ag.state.mn.us sued Gov. Abbott for ignoring his extradition demand.

ICE is a manifestation of Trump’s disdain for the rule of law.
They are an ugly stain on our national consciousness.
Every American should demand they be held accountable for their murder spree.

When oligarchs talk of “personal liberties and free markets” they mean their own liberties to become even richer and more powerful.
When oligarchs speak of “freedom,” what they actually seek is freedom from accountability.

Fewer than half of Americans can afford healthcare, the lowest rate since 2021.
We’re saddled with the highest healthcare costs with the worst health outcomes among other rich countries.
Is it any wonder that 63% of Americans now support Medicare for All?
We do not have to keep living like this.

2. Continue building union power
3. End Citizens United and get big money out of politics
