We are proud to endorse Justin J. Pearson for Congress! Justin understands that standing with veterans means ensuring they have the support they need long after taking off the uniform and has shown he is ready to fight for Tennesseans in DC.

It's been 20 days since Republicans fled DC rather than vote to impeach Hegseth, stop Trump's illegal war, or pass the Major Richard Star Act.

In Texas, any cop can now stop you and ask if you're a citizen.
Who they "suspect" is up to them.

The ICE crackdown isn't just a Texas story. It's happening in your backyard.
You don't need to send help to Texas. The neighbors who need you are on your own block.
The most powerful thing you can do is organize right where you live.

Veterans were peacefully protesting Trump’s illegal & unjust war in Iran near Fort Bragg today when police arrested Army veteran & Common Defense organizer, Lindsey.
Vets won’t be intimidated into silence. She is safe & we are working to get her free now. More updates to follow.

Articles of impeachment were filed against Pete Hegseth.
Congress went home early instead of holding him accountable.

Halfway there. Operation Take Up Space hits its midpoint today, and the road so far has proven one thing: civic engagement doesn't have to run on fear.

.@JonHusted, here is a video of you voting against every Iran War Powers Resolution.
You have had 13 chances to oppose the war, but you voted with Trump every single time. You and your party are the reason diesel is $6.82/gal in Ohio.
🚨Sen. Jon Husted (R-Ohio) tells @politico:
“The war needs to come to an end as quickly as possible so that we can lower gas prices.”
It’s his furthest comments yet on the Iran war amid sky-high fuel prices.
But a spokesperson says Husted will NOT vote for the Dem-led war powers resolution this week when it comes up in the Senate — showing how he’s walking a finer with Trump and Vance expected to visit in the coming weeks to help shore up his tight race.
