Fighting back against the right wing

Senator Bernie Sanders said it best: "We produced, by far, the most progressive platform in the history of the Democratic Party. Our job now is to see that platform implemented by a Democratic Senate." Answer Bernie’s call and sign up to help us elect a Democratic Senate in November.

For the first time in American history, we have a national plan to limit the dangerous climate pollution spewing from our fossil fuel-fired power plants – the single largest source of carbon pollution in our nation and one of the largest in the world. We can’t let that slip away. But dirty energy forces are fighting climate progress through a relentless series of legal attacks. We’re fighting hard to stop this latest senseless effort attacking EPA’s vital limits on climate pollution—but we need your help. Pledge today: Add your name as one of the many Americans standing with the EPA’s climate safeguards for our communities—and not with dirty energy forces.

Donald Trump, presumptive Republican nominee serial bankruptcy filer, has gone on the attack again, this time launching a series of rancid tweets at Senator Elizabeth Warren. Looks like he picked a fight with the wrong person (more)

Most Americans pay 6.20% of their incomes to Social Security taxes. But not so the wealthy. The Social Security tax applies only to the first $118,500 of income (the “cap”). As soon anyone reaches that limit, they’re done for the year. Add your name to become a citizen co-sponsor of the "Scrap the Cap" bill, and help make sure YOUR Social Security will be there for you, no matter how long you live >>

America is now the world's largest natural gas producer—and a significant portion of that oil & gas production relies on federal and tribal lands. But due to outdated rules, a significant amount—$330 million worth—of our federal gas resources are being wasted every year, enough natural gas to power a city the size of Chicago for a year. That's not just an incredible waste of resources—an estimated $800 million over the next decade in royalty revenue for the Federal Government and the States that share it—it's a dangerous release of pollution that we need to stop. Methane, the main component of natural gas, is a powerful climate pollutant packing 84 times the power of carbon dioxide in the short term. The Department of Interior's Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has proposed a rule putting strict limits on this pollution—and we have a limited amount of time to show our support. Add your voice today!
