Block the World Liberty Financial National Bank Trust Charter

Congress must stop the approval of a national bank trust charter for World Liberty Financial.

Investigate Trump's Ballroom Spending and Protect Taxpayer Money

Congress must investigate what Trump is doing with money Congress appropriated, and it must happen before a single dollar is spent on his White House ballroom.

Tax The Rich

Oppose Internet Censorship Bills

Passing bills that weaken end-to-end encryption, require online ID checks, or repeal Section 230—which protects free speech online—will give Trump the power to crush public and private dissenters.
