Kamala Harris.
She's tough, fearless, and tenacious.
With our democracy at stake and our future on the line, no one is better to prosecute the case against Donald Trump's dark vision and guide our country in a brighter direction than her.
Donald Trump?
Well, it is not often that I find myself pitying Donald Trump, but that is where I find myself today.
He is not prepared for Kamala Harris.
Now he's on defense, all while his vice presidential candidate racks up bad headline after bad headline.

House Republicans are gearing up for a full-scale assault on the IRS and your right to free, simple online tax filing. Their target? The agency's enforcement capabilities and the highly successful Direct File program.
Here's what's at stake: A bill likely to be voted on in September would slash more than $2 billion from the IRS budget undermining its ability to go after wealthy tax cheats. This comes when the agency has already collected over $1 billion in back taxes from wealthy tax cheats

This far-right Supreme Court majority just delivered a massive power grab for big corporations. We have a plan to fight back, but we need your help.
In a radical new ruling, this corrupt, out-of-touch Supreme Court eviscerated over 40 years of legal precedent known as Chevron
deference that protected Americans’ rights to clean air and water, safe workplaces, and health care.
This is a huge deal. The very same Supreme Court that struck down abortion rights has empowered itself to make far-reaching policy decisions that

Billionaires and corporations are trying to indoctrinate our kids with trickle-down economic myths. We can't let them succeed.
The TaxEDU curriculum, pushed by the right-wing Tax Foundation, is already in 1,500 classrooms nationwide. It's teaching students that corporate
