Sign On: Expel Randy Fine from Congress

Image
                     RANDY FINE has a lengthy history of BIGOTRY and HATE!                     RANDY FINE does not belong in CONGRESS! No, this isn’t a “hot mic” moment. This isn’t a mistake, or a misunderstanding of words. Far-right GOP Congressman Randy Fine really said this. And he was so proud of it that he tweeted it out, too. Randy Fine is a disgusting, violent racist who is unfit for office. He should be removed from Congress. Add your name to Ilhan Omar’s petition calling for Randy Fine to be expelled from office immediately >> Sign on now This isn’t the first time Randy Fine has shown his racist contempt for Muslims and Arabs. He has called Ilhan a “Muslim terrorist” and issued a thinly-veiled death threat. He’s moved to try to denaturalize Zohran Mamdani, and has threatened the same towards Ilhan.

Trump and Republicans are set to cut funding that helps bring down the cost of health care plans under the Affordable Care Act. Democrats stepped up to defend Americans from skyrocketing premiums and millions losing their coverage.

One of those Americans is Jessica from Florida. The Wall Street Journal reports that her health insurance premiums will jump from around $200 a month to   $1,100  a month if the Republicans’ planned cuts go through. Those costs are so high that Jessica may just become one of the 4 million Americans that experts e...

running on all cylinders

    Here’s the deal — After a narrower than expected primary win, we need to run on all cylinders ahead of the general election and prove to everyone from the pundits to our far-right Republican opponent that our progressive movement is stronger than ever. Can you chip in a contribution of any amount toward our end-of-month goal so we have the resources to turn out voters and secure wins for Ilhan and progressives up and down the ballot? We’re seeing incredible momentum on the issues that matter most to workers and families: House Democrats just passed transformative legislation to tackle climate change with the urgency it requires and lower prescription drug prices. President Biden finally announced relief for millions of borrowers across the country. Ilhan has pushed for student debt cancellation for six years through organizing and introducing legislation — helping put it on the map as a progressive priority. She’s ready to keep fighting until we cancel every dollar of stud...
