A government that works for US

I see a Washington that is listening more closely to corporate lobbyists than working people. That needs to change. State Representative and WFP champion Malcolm Kenyatta is running for Pennsylvania's open U.S. Senate seat in 2022 and could be the first openly LGBTQ+ per…

What is it going to be?

Corporate Democrats oppose our full recovery agenda because it would make the ultra-wealthy pay their fair share. Democrats in Congress have two options this week, John: They can do the job that the American people elected them to do and pass the $3.5 trillion budget re…

We are pushing

By intervening in Democratic primaries and electing real Working Families Party champions to Congress, progressives are the closest we’ve ever come to building actual, national governing power for the people. John, This week in Congress could see the most significant leg…

We have a huge problem

We have a huge problem when the $750,000 that Big Pharma donated to Senator Kyrsten Sinema has a bigger influence on policy than the 90% of Arizona voters who support lowering drug prices. John, FIRST: During her 2018 run for Senate, Kyrsten Sinema campaigned for lower pres…

It's coming down to the wire in Congress. Here's what you can do.

John, Things are coming down to the wire in Congress — and our entire agenda is at stake. The Build Back Better Act would lower prescription drug prices and expand Medicare to include dental, vision and hearing. It would make pre-K free and universal and expand the child tax c…

re: Holding Kyrsten Sinema and other obstructionist Democrats accountable

Breaking down the Build Back Better Act (reconciliation bill)
