On Veterans Day, we pause to honor those who’ve served in our armed forces. Today and every day, we stand with veterans in gratitude and respect.

WE SHOWED UP. WE ORGANIZED. WE GOT RESULTS. 🗳️💥 But don't get it twisted: Election Day is over, but our work is far from done. Now it's time to hold those in power accountable and make sure they deliver.

President Trump has replaced Chief of Staff Susie Wiles with his deputy chief of staff for policy, Stephen Miller. In the wake of last week's election, this move signals a doubled-down approach on the administration's most controversial policies. 🧵

📉Tariffs & Economic Costs: Miller has publicly championed Trump economic moves as an "extraordinary paradise." However, independent metrics like the Yale Budget Lab estimate that these tariffs have cost everyday Americans thousands of dollars extra in needless expenses.

Another huge thank you to all of our Election Protection volunteers this election season. You helped voters across the nation cast their ballot safely by answering questions and addressing their concerns.

Republicans redrew many maps in the past years in order to favor their own candidates. Last week, the American people spoke out and proved that voters chose their representatives. It's time for congress to ban gerrymandering ✍️ act.commoncause.org/petition…

We made it through Election Day. But what happens next matters just as much. Your voice matters on Election Day. It matters every day after, too. The election is over. The work continues. And we're in it for the long haul. ✊

Voters just told Donald Trump loud and clear they're tired of the corruption, the hate, and our government being weaponized against us. His response? Put the bully behind these failed policies in charge of the White House. Stephen Miller should be unemployed, not Chief of Staff.

Mid-Decade Swing: Latino Voters Could Ruin Trump’s Redistricting Gamble

One year later, and with the 2026 Texas primaries behind us, could Latino voters be signaling Trump’s redraws are looking like “dummymanders” all over GOP-controlled states?
