MAGA Republicans are holding the government hostage

Hey friends, it’s Sara Jacobs. House Republicans are holding our government hostage to shove their right-wing ideology down the throats of the American people and hurtling our country toward an unnecessary government shutdown, with no concerns for the millions of families and workers who will be i…

It’s time to take back the House. Are you in?

Friends,  I have a front-row seat to the disorganization and extremism that is the House GOP, so I can tell you without a doubt that if we want to make progress in our government, Democrats must take back the House in 2024.  We should all hope and aim to work across the aisle and find areas of com…

UPDATE: The state of abortion access in the U.S.
