Guns are the leading cause of death for young people between the ages of 18 and 20. This demographic also commits gun homicides at triple the rate of people over the age of 21.

Rep Lauren Underwood was the first Black person, first woman, and first millennial elected to represent her Illinois district, which she flipped from red to blue, defeating a four-term GOP incumbent. She’s had 14 bills signed into law by both D and R presidents. She’s the future.

Yesterday, my NIH IMPROVE Act passed the House unanimously! The next step? Getting it passed in the Senate. When I came to Congress, my goal was simple: end pregnancy-related deaths. This funding gets us one step closer to ending these maternal health disparities.

For eight years, Governor Tony Evers has used his veto power to block GOP bills that would have restricted abortion access, removed environmental regulations, and a $3 billion tax cut that would have reduced the state’s ability to fund schools, health care, and local governments.

This race will have significant down ballot consequences. All 99 seats in the assembly are up for election. To win control, Dems only need to gain 5 seats. Seventeen of 33 Senate seats are on the ballot. Dems only need 2 seats for control. Instead, we may be looking at a Republican trifecta.

Movements are not built on debate stages. They're built in union halls, at kitchen tables, on picket lines, and in conversations with neighbors. They're built by people like you. Together, let's win this damn thing.

Before plagiarizing Shirley Chisholm, Hasan Piker says, “We don’t need those Democrats anymore!” meaning anyone who isn’t a socialist. He is a dangerous, hateful extremist and anyone campaigning with him should be held accountable by voters.

GOP candidate Brandon Herrera on moms advocating politically: “Just because you let somebody creampie you doesn’t mean I have to give a shit about your political opinions. The fact that you kept your cum trophy doesn’t make you any less wrong about the dumb shit they you say.”

Also, gotta love that Ro spreads the blame to a woman Senator and a women’s reproductive rights group but not, you know, Bernie Sanders.

Ro Khanna is the ONLY Platner endorser in Congress to publicly express regret over his decision. And all he said was, “ I wasn’t the only one. You had Planned Parenthood. You had Senator Warren. You had the entire Democratic Party. But I did get that call wrong.” www.notus.org/congress/thi...
