Now is the time: Medicare for all

Reject cuts enabling wealthy tax evasion, invest in IRS
The Republican Party's proposed $20 billion cut to the IRS budget would cripple the agency's ability to crack down on wealthy tax cheats and recover billions in unpaid taxes.

Reject policies criminalizing sanctuary and protect human rights
The Trump administration's proposed immigration policies are extremely concerning and set a dangerous precedent for criminalizing humanitarian acts. Mayor Johnston is right to oppose plans that would jail Americans for providing refuge or sanctuary to undocumented immigrants, which is comparable to

Thank you for using your power of Advice and Consent on political nominations
