We will not cower or bend to fear tactics. Full stop.

The incoming Congress has a clear obligation to act quickly in response to the demands and expectations on the main issues that motivated the electorate this week: ending the war in Iran and lowering costs for the American people.

Newly re-elected Illinois @GovPritzker reflects on the midterm elections and the impact of the Trump administration's policies, from ICE enforcement to skyrocketing prices.

The American people have made clear that they demand an end to the war in Iran. Here’s what Congress should do to deliver it ⬇️ ampr.gs/4zxfvE4

Four entities from the tobacco industry donated a total of $30 million to Trump-associated political entities and projects.

➡️ What did they receive in return? A (conservative) estimate of $6 BILLION thanks to Trump administration policy decisions related to menthol cigarettes and flavored nicotine products. americanprogress.org/article/tracki…

The Trump administration's chaos agenda is causing pain for Americans across the country. @SenSchumer explains:

By pairing targeted relief with clean energy investment, greater efficiency measures, and stronger consumer protections, policymakers can turn campaign promises into lasting household savings for the American people. ampr.gs/4z4IhuX

Voters across the country turned out at the polls because they had faith in the democratic process and hope in the potential of a better future. Hear from @WhipKClark:

On Election Day, Montanans said enough is enough when it comes to money in politics and resoundingly passed the Montana Plan. This initiative prevents corporations and outside groups from using dark money to try to manipulate elections in the state.

Congratulations to everyone ake this milestone victory possible — and thank you for leading the way on fixing what's broken in our political system.

State and local policymakers are increasingly focused on affordable housing while also ensuring decent work for those building these homes.

More communities should follow suit and address the twin faces of the affordability crisis—increasing costs and inadequate wages. ampr.gs/3V0jVV4

Private credit funds are intricately linked to other parts of the financial system, including pension funds, insurance companies, and banks—potentially putting Americans’ savings and the financial system itself at risk. ampr.gs/4jZIewC

The fossil fuel industry has donated ~$65 million to Trump-affiliated political entities, projects, and businesses, reaping a (conservative) $31.2 BILLION in benefits from Trump administration policies—with some benefits still to come over the next decade. ampr.gs/4yVLOf2

Tuesday’s historic midterm results emphasized the appeal of candidates who pair climate & clean energy policy with real plans to lower household costs.

This vision contrasts with the Trump administration's policies that have left Americans paying more at home. ampr.gs/4z4IhuX

The legal strategy developed by CAP—the “Corporate Power Reset”—will, state by state, drain corporate and dark money from American politics.

It does not overturn Citizens United; it makes it irrelevant.

Accepting the results of an election is central to our democracy, and yesterday, millions of Americans turned out at the polls to make their voices heard.

🙌 THANK YOU to all those who cast a vote and to the election officials who ensured our elections were safe, secure, e.

Voters were clear: "The corporations we create don't own our democracy; WE DO." ‼️
