    Don't be fooled. Republicans fought for years to repeal protections for preexisting conditions, and 20 Republican Attorneys General are actively suing to dismantle those protections at this very moment.

    Republicans in Washington have spent their last two years in power giving handouts to their ultra-wealthy donors and squeezing the poor and working families even more. What we need more than ever is to elect leaders who will work for the people.

    The rich-poor gap is getting worse under Trump. by

    Voter fraud is virtually nonexistent in the United States, but Republicans have stoked the fear of it to pass restrictions designed to lower voter turnout. The path to a stronger democracy and fairer economy is to increase access to the ballot box and get more people voting.

    American democracy is on the ballot in November, and it's not just because of Trump. Millions of voters' rights are at stake, too.

    This is the fraud of "trickle down" economics: Republicans in Congress handed the richest few and giant corporations a massive tax break, and nearly a year later most Americans haven't seen a penny of it.

    Our Secretary of Education should be working to protect students and making college more affordable -- not throwing a lifeboat to the predatory for-profit college industry that made its profits scamming students and saddling them with debt.

    This is a rigged economy in action: Republicans give corporate executives massive tax cuts, the executives keep the profits for themselves, and the share going to workers continues to drop.

    This White House is trying to undo twenty years of civil and human rights precedent in order to detain children indefinitely. Absolutely horrendous.

    Americans pay the highest prices in the world for the prescriptions they need. We need more than empty promises -- we need leaders who will stand up to the greed & abuse of pharmaceutical corporations.

    Trump pulled us out of the Paris Climate Agreement and has repeatedly denied the reality of climate change. His own agencies concede the truth: climate change is real, and global warming puts us on the path to catastrophe if we do not take bold action.

    Getting a good education shouldn't be a privilege reserved for a lucky few at the top. We must make higher ed accessible for all students.
