Dick and Liz Uihlein made a multibillion dollar fortune on cardboard boxes—and they're using it to fuel election deniers & far-right candidates across the country. The couple has spent $121 million on state & federal politics in the last two years. Get big money out of elections.
The deficit fell by $1.4 trillion – the largest one-year drop in American history – under President Biden.
Cut in half.
And, the Administration is going to reduce the deficit by another $250 billion over the next decade.
I'm 76 — old enough to have lived through 13 recessions and 6 inflationary surges, all painful yet temporary. But income and wealth inequality, the climate crisis, and attacks on our democracy have steadily worsened. They're not cyclical. They must be tackled head on.
Reminder: Inflation isn’t being driven by government spending. It’s being largely driven by the fact that a handful for mega corporations have consolidated their market power and can raise prices on consumers.
It’s been 2 years since we lost one of America’s greatest civil rights heroes, John Lewis. Congressman Lewis dedicated his life to protecting & strengthening civil liberties. We must honor his life & legacy by continuing to strengthen the fundamental right to vote.
Thanks to the filibuster, 41 Senate Republicans representing just 21% of the country are blocking abortion rights, clean energy, health care, and basic investments supported by the vast majority of Americans. This is not how democracy is supposed to work.
Did you know that Normandeau has offices on the West Coast? Check out this stunning photo from our California office. Despite the continuing drought and low snowpack, Mount Shasta never fails to impress!

The New Hampshire state legislature restricted abortion access for the first time last year, and recently voted down exceptions for rape or incest. Who we elect at the state level this November matters more than ever. We’ve got to vote our priorities all the way down the ballot.
If Collins and Manchin feel betrayed by Kavanaugh and Gorsuch, they should join all senate Democrats to carve out a reproductive rights exemption to the filibuster and enact national abortion rights. Do it Monday.
We should hear from Senators Murkowski, Collins, and Manchin if they believe there should be any consequences at all for misleading members of the US Senate in order to secure a lifetime appointment to the highest court in the land.
Otherwise Roe’s undoing is their legacy too.
The highest court in the land failed half of the country today. Like millions of Americans across the country, I am gutted & horrified.
Make no mistake: Overturning Roe jeopardizes women’s lives. It won’t stop abortions from happening – it will just make them dangerous.
Democrats do have control of the House, the Senate and the White House. If now is not the time to codify abortion rights in federal law, when would that be?
Companies that have said they would cover travel expenses for employees who need abortions include Starbucks, Tesla, Yelp, Airbnb, Netflix, Patagonia, DoorDash, JPMorgan Chase, Levi Strauss & Co. and Reddit. https://t.co/7QGnu34x4H
61% of Americans support codifying Roe v. Wade into law.
But thanks to the filibuster, 41 Senate Republicans representing just 21% of the country can block it.
This is not how democracy is supposed to work.
