Seniors lose if MAGA wins

One Country Project     With this MAGA-led majority in the House of Representatives, the cruelty is the point. After weeks of waffling, Kevin McCarthy's MAGA caucus finally unveiled their plans to make devastating cuts to the federal budget on the backs of our most vu…

The MAGA emperor and his clothes.

What it takes to elect rural Democrats

One Country Project     Here's the thing – The big, flashy, glamorous parts of campaigns – TV ads, viral videos, big rallies – get all the attention. But it's the hard work of on-the-ground, year-round organizing that actually leads to Election Day victories. That's exa…

The most dangerous country for mothers

One Country Project     The most dangerous developed nation in the world for a woman to give birth in is ours. For a Republican party that rabidly screams how pro-life they are in every single floor speech, they sure have left mothers-to-be at the bottom of their legi…

Is your local hospital still local?

No, saving lives isn’t a “political strategy”

One Country Project     Democrats don't talk about abortion because it's a "wedge issue." It's not "a voter turnout strategy," or an "appeal to the base." It's health care – essential, critical care that drastically affects, and often saves, real people's lives. That's…
