Tell Congress: Don’t let Trump punish voters

Trump has threatened to slash federal dollars that fund hospitals, housing, and schools for New Yorkers because they dared to vote for mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani.

And we have every reason to believe he’ll follow through. In recent months, he has specifically targeted places that didn’t vote for him last year – canceling billions of dollars for trains, tunnels, and clean energy in blue states, and rejecting disaster aid for blue states.

Our lawmakers must make it clear: no president can cut off funding just because he...

Tell Congress: Protect Public Media

Congress must REJECT efforts to cut funding for PBS and NPR – which Americans consistently rank as the most trustworthy networks for news and public affairs.

Attacks on public media are attempts to silence independent media. We must protect free, fact-based journalism and ensure access to trusted programming for all Americans.

Stop Trump’s Billionaire Budget

The Big Ugly Betrayal slashes aid for families, cuts taxes for billionaires, and pours money into expanding Trump’s secret police force.

Tell Congress: Reject MAGA’s attacks on our free speech

MAGA wants to make it illegal to disagree with them – but Trump can’t make the worst of his anti-free speech dreams a reality without Congress’s help.

We expect our members of Congress to continue rejecting Trump’s anti-free speech crackdown. We are watching and ready to mobilize against any attacks on our First Amendment rights.

Tell media companies: Stand up for free speech!

Our media should be holding the powerful accountable – not bowing to them. We urge you to reject Trump’s blacklist and refuse to bend to political pressure.

Don’t be intimidated, defend free speech, and stand up for your journalists when they face attacks for doing their jobs.

News & Observer: Senators are helping pay Sen. Burr’s legal expenses. Here’s a closer look at the donors

“In my view, it’s the least troubling of the money,” said Paul S. Ryan, the vice president of policy and litigation at Common Cause. ‘I am far more concerned seeing people with business before Burr’s committees than I am seeing money from other members of Congress.” ...

“There’s heightened concern of fundraising into a legal expense fund by a member of Congress not running for reelection,” Ryan said. “... The threat for corruption or, at a minimum, the appearance of corruption is greater when it comes to...
