A sitting president buying and trading stocks that they have direct insider information about and influence over is a clear ethical violation and conflict of interest.  White House spokespeople insist that Trump has no input into these trades and that his portfolio is entirely managed by third-party advisers. But the evidence speaks for itself.  Trump bought millions in Nvidia stock only one week before approving it to start selling its advanced computer chips to China, which sent its stocks soaring. He bought millions in Palantir stock right around the time the company signed a billion-dollar deal with the Department of Homeland Security. He bought stock in Thermo Fisher Scientific the exact same day he toured its facilities.  The sheer consistency of this pattern makes it nearly impossible to accept that Trump has no influence over these trades. But insider trading isn’t the only problem. Trump has repeatedly taken to social media and public speeches to talk up companies he holds stock in, directly inflating the value of his investments using the platform of the presidency.  Meanwhile, everyday Americans are living through the worst cost-of-living crisis in recent history. Groceries, housing, healthcare, and other basic necessities have all become crushing costs for millions of families. While working people are struggling to get by, the president is running a personal enrichment operation out of the Oval Office.  The office of the president is not a get-rich-quick scheme. Sign the petition to stop Trump’s shameless corruption and demand a stock trading ban for all high-level public officials! 

The Department of Defense regularly fails independent financial audits regarding where the Pentagon budget is spent. The precedent to continuously allow the Pentagon to increase its budget without any sort of accountability must end.    The federal government continues to put the needs of people last, and wonder why people no longer have faith in our federal institutions. Many Americans are feeling the financial strain of higher costs at the gas pump and the grocery store. People are having to get second and third jobs to make ends meet while rent increases. Time and financial investment in warfare continue despite working people across the country suffering from instability, healthcare cuts, unaffordable housing, and cuts to programs that support children and our caregivers.    An intentional decrease of the Pentagon budget is about making real safety and security possible for all of us: safe homes, healthy children and families, affordable care, strong schools, and a government that shows up when people need it.    Congress must cut the Pentagon budget and reject any NDAA or defense spending package that locks in another round of military expansion, especially at the expense of our domestic programs that support families.    Every dollar spent on the Pentagon is a dollar siphoned away from essential programming everyday people rely on to survive.    Congress should stop writing blank checks for war and start investing in US!

You’ve likely seen the uproar over Trump’s Justice Department-created $1.8 billion “anti-weaponization” fund that could send taxpayer money to January 6 insurrectionists, amongst other MAGA loyalists and political allies. Trump’s slush fund is as corrupt and lawless as it gets — and even his allies in Congress are pushing back. Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) called it “utterly stupid, morally wrong.” Sen. John Curtis (R-UT) added, “I don’t like the fund at all.” Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) referred to it as a “payout pot for punks.” Things got so contentious that Senate Republicans were forced to abandon votes on an unrelated bill to fund ICE in advance of the Memorial Day recess. It’s a good start, but it’ll be meaningless if this fund is left intact. Fortunately, right now there are multiple ways to pull it apart, from Rep. Jamie Raskin’s just-introduced No Taxpayer-Funded Settlement Slush Funds Act (H.R. 8914) to amendments in the reconciliation bills. While the iron is hot, we need to strike and ensure these measures get the support they need in Congress to kill this corrupt scam for good — and that’s where you come in.

Article 3, Section 2, Clause 1 of the U.S. Constitution states that courts have the power to settle "cases" between entities, including those involving the federal government. The creation of the fund comes out of a lawsuit Donald Trump settled with the IRS, an agency he was suing for $10 billion. Because of this, 93 House Democrats signed a 31-page amicus brief to block the fund. This "anti-weaponization" fund is dangerous and lets Trump get away with more abuses of power and further politicizes the Department of Justice, which is supposed to be independent.  A multi-billion dollar slush fund that seeks to reward Trump allies who have flouted the Constitution, peddled election conspiracy theories, and might have been involved in the deadly attack on our nation's capitol on January 6th must not be allowed to move forward. The precedent this sends could be devastating and reverberate for decades to come.  Congress must hear us loud and clear: block the creation of the "anti-weaponization" slush fund. 

Imagine your elderly parent is getting ready to vote on Election Day. They look up the address for their polling location. They know they need their voter ID, so they grab that. Since they have a disability that makes it hard to go inside the polls, they plan to use curbside voting. But when they show up to their polling location, they can't find any information on curbside voting. They want to ask a poll worker for help, but there aren't any outside. After driving around the parking lot for several minutes, they decide to give up and go home. They are extremely disappointed. Approximately 14% of Ohioans are living with a disability and about 17% of Ohioans are 65 or older. And they're not the only groups that benefit from accessible elections. A parent with a sleeping infant in the backseat can benefit from curbside voting; college students away from home can benefit from mail-in voting;  and polling locations that have plenty of room for wheelchairs also have room for strollers. Since everyone's needs are different, it's important that we make voting as accessible as possible for everyone.  This petition is open to all Ohio residents. The collected signatures will be shared with: • Frank LaRose (Ohio Secretary of State) • Brett Harbage (ADA Coordinator for the Ohio SOS' office) 

“I don't think about Americans’ financial situation,” Trump recently told reporters. He didn’t need to tell us because his budget requests say everything we need to know: Right now, Congress is dangerously close to passing a bill that would pour $70 billion more taxpayer dollars into ICE and CBP at Trump’s behest, supercharging the machinery of detention, deportation, and mass surveillance. Think that’s outrageous? Wait until you hear Republicans have also slipped another $1 BILLION into the bill for Trump’s White House ballroom. It’s an unconscionable use of our resources. But thanks to tireless advocacy from movement partners and activists like you, Democrats held the line against more funding for ICE and CBP. That’s why Republican leadership is working to jam this bill through on a party-line vote. But it won’t be easy — their party is already fracturing, and House Speaker Mike Johnson can only afford to lose two votes. Together, we can show lawmakers how badly this will backfire and help block this outrageous funding bill. Let’s remind everyone on Capitol Hill that we resoundingly reject billions for ICE violence and lavish ballrooms while people struggle.

While the president’s son-in-law serves as one of the Trump administration’s lead negotiators in the Middle East, Jared Kushner is simultaneously raising money for his private equity firm — from some of the very same governments he’s negotiating with. It’s part of a disturbing pattern we’ve seen before. His alarming number of conflicts of interest and the potential for self-dealing raise a host of troubling questions around his ability to act with integrity: • Are Kushner's private equity firm's financial interests influencing U.S. Middle East negotiations? • Were the billions that his firm received from the Saudi government, for example, kickbacks on past actions or down payments on future favors? • Do Kushner’s Gaza beachfront property plans influence his role on the White House-appointed Gaza Executive Board? Fortunately, we’re not the only ones asking questions. Members of Congress have launched investigations in both the House and Senate. Now, with enough public pressure, we’ll push Congress to shine a light on Kushner’s conflicts of interest and pursue accountability.

Every day, creators build the content that powers platforms like TikTok—yet most earn only pennies per thousand views while the platform makes billions from their work.    This isn’t just about social media. It’s about a system where the people creating the value are the ones paid the least, with no stability or protections.    If creators stop, the entire platform stops. It’s time for fair pay, transparency, and real protections in the digital economy. 

Carlos Ivan Mendoza Hernandez, loving fiancé and devoted father to a little girl, was shot seven times by ICE agents in Patterson, California. The FBI and DHS have access to multiple angles of video footage, but they won’t release it to us. The DHS accused him of being a violent gang member, but then retracted the statements once they were questioned about it. Carlos was released directly from the ICU to the FBI, and he has been transferred between five detention facilities and has not received proper medical treatment. He is unable to eat because he was shot in the mouth, the gunshot wound on his arm almost got infected, and they have only been giving him painkillers. He is now being charged with weaponizing his vehicle to hurt ICE officers, when in reality, he was just trying to get away from the agents who were shooting at him. They tried to kill him and it didn’t work, so now they’re punishing him. Carlos and his family desperately need YOUR help.

The ballroom is just another in a long line of Trump’s attempts to continue his authoritarian power grabs in D.C., like his plans to build the so-called "Arc de Trump" along the Potomac River. And his proposal to pay for them with private donations from his supporters raises serious ethical concerns.  While gas prices are soaring and working families are struggling to pay for medical costs, groceries, and rent, Trump and his cronies are focused on king-making.  We don’t need a 90,000-square-foot ballroom at the White House—we need Congress focused on improving the lives of working families.

Eight Disney-owned ABC affiliates will have to prove to FCC Chairman Brendan Carr that they have been operating in the public interest. They have 30 days to file their licenses—with May 28 the deadline. Disney has responded that they will comply with the request, noting that they are confident that they have acted in accordance with “the Communications Act and the First Amendment.” It is an egregious display of overreach for the FCC to review ABC station licenses because they are not cowering to Trump’s demands. Our government should not be in the business of telling the American people what to think, what to laugh at, what to say, and what to criticize. But that’s exactly what they are doing.  This is a continuation of the FCC’s threats against ABC and Disney last year after Kimmel came under similar fire from Trump following his on-air criticism of Republicans and MAGA figures exploiting Charlie Kirk’s murder.  Back in September, Chairman of the FCC Brendan Carr warned he had a strong case for taking action against Kimmel and insinuated that Disney’s license was on the line. Public outrage pressured ABC and Disney to reinstate Kimmel’s show—and now the FCC is punishing them.  Together we can demonstrate that the American people OPPOSE government-sanctioned censorship, and that we’re ready to defend our First Amendment rights.

People should join this campaign because it addresses a life-or-death public health crisis that is both preventable and deeply rooted in inequity. In Georgia, African American women are significantly more likely to die from pregnancy-related causes than any other group, and data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows that most of these deaths could be prevented with timely, appropriate care. Supporting this campaign means taking a stand for evidence-based solutions that can directly save lives. This effort is not abstract—it focuses on a clear, proven intervention. Doula support has been shown to improve birth outcomes, reduce complications, and ensure that patients are heard within healthcare settings. By advocating for a statewide doula training program through the Georgia Department of Public Health and the Georgia Board of Public Health, this campaign pushes for a solution that is both practical and backed by research. Joining the campaign means supporting a strategy that works. There is also a strong equity component. The Georgia Maternal Mortality Review Committee has found that a majority of maternal deaths in the state are preventable, and many are tied to systemic issues like bias, lack of access, and gaps in communication. This campaign directly addresses those barriers by promoting culturally competent care and community-based support. Participation signals a commitment to reducing racial disparities and improving outcomes for marginalized communities. Beyond the moral imperative, there is a broader community impact. Healthier mothers mean stronger families, more stable communities, and reduced long-term healthcare costs. When maternal health improves, infant outcomes improve as well, creating generational benefits. Supporting this campaign is an investment in the well-being of entire communities across Georgia. Finally, joining this campaign gives individuals a way to turn concern into action. Many people are aware of health disparities but feel unsure how to make a difference. This initiative offers a concrete path: advocate, raise awareness, and push for policy change that can have measurable, lasting impact. It transforms awareness into collective action. In short, people should join this campaign because it is urgent, evidence-based, equity-focused, and capable of creating real change.
