Do you want a federal judiciary that favors corporations over people or one that acts as the last line of defense ordinary people have against the power of corporations and the State? The answer to that question will impact your children and grandchildren.

We cannot ignore the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Demanding an immediate ceasefire is necessary but not sufficient. The Biden Administration must end military aid to the far-right Netanyahu regime and renew its provision of humanitarian assistance.

When Biden took office, the pandemic was raging, and our economy was on life-support. In just 3 years, he rescued the economy, revived our infrastructure and manufacturing sector, created millions of good-paying jobs, slashed childhood poverty, and lowered the costs of families’ everyday expenses. Giving him a second term and a Democratic Congress will improve our lives even more. Americans deserve no less.

When progressives fracture, the right always wins. The November election will be the most consequential election of our lifetime. We cannot allow legitimate differences about policy to open up the door to a second Trump presidency.

Every morning President Biden awakens and asks: “What I can do to improve the lives of the American people?” Trump, by contrast, asks, “How can I increase my wealth and power and punish my enemies?” In his State of the Union address to the American people last Thursday, the President stressed their very different world views, values, policies, and future plans.

“The disregard for women’s ability to make [reproductive] decisions for themselves and their families is outrageous and unacceptable. . . .The vice president and I are fighting for your rights. . .and we won’t stop until we restore the protections of Roe v. Wade in federal law for all women in every state.”

Biden’s and Trump’s responses to the Kansas City shooting were starkly different. Biden immediately decried “epidemic” gun violence: “Today’s events should…shock us…into acting. What are we waiting for?” Trump, by contrast, attended a gun rally and bragged that, while president, “nobody took control of our Second Amendment [and] nothing happened.”

Netanyahu’s right-wing extremist government has the right to respond to Hamas’ horrific October 7th attacks, which constituted war crimes and violated international law, but not itself to commit war crimes against the Palestinian people. Congress’ decision pulling all funding from UNRWA, the only agency capable of distributing humanitarian aid, will create even more suffering, starvation, and disease in Gaza and must be reversed. The continuing carnage must stop.

The brutal war in Ukraine is at a critical juncture. Congress must disregard MAGA Republican efforts to block additional  military assistance.  Kyiv needs advanced weapon systems to help drive out the Russian invaders and diminish Putin’s imperialist ambitions. 

MAGA Republicans are pushing a fast-tracked, closed-door “debt commission”—their latest attempt to cut the highly popular Social Security and Medicare programs, by falsely claiming their costs are tied to the national debt. What we need instead is to expand their income base and extend their solvency by requiring high income taxpayers to contribute their fair share.

“The choice is clear: Donald Trump’s campaign is about him. Not America, not you….He’s willing to sacrifice our democracy [to] put himself in power.” In order to defeat a dark turn coming our way, we must come out in record numbers to cast votes in defense of democracy.

In responding to Hamas’ horrific October 7th attacks, which constituted war crimes and violated international law, Israel had the right to defend itself by going after Hamas. Netanyahu’s right-wing extremist government, however, does not have the right to commit war crimes against the Palestinian people, using US-provided weapons. It’s time for a permanent ceasefire in Gaza. The continuing carnage must stop.

“[W]e pledge to… root out the Communists, Marxists, Fascists, and Radical Left Thugs that live like vermin…and will…destroy America….Our threat is from within.” When Trump employs Nazi-talk alongside plans to round up immigrants in mass detention camps by the millions, we need to take him dead seriously.
