\u201cThe fact is Dems CAN act now to protect our democracy, voting rights, integrity of our courts, and end minority rule.\n\nThe Dem Senators in the way need to get on board. The stakes are too high. We must end the filibuster, expand the court, stop dark money & protect voting rights.\u201d— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez) 1630529272
"There's not a second to lose, and it's high time Democrats do what they promised they would do if voters handed them the reins: Protect our fundamental rights, and restore balance to our government."
--Christina Harvey, Stand Up America

Trump and Musk are on an unconstitutional rampage, aiming for virtually every corner of the federal government. These two right-wing billionaires are targeting nurses, scientists, teachers, daycare providers, judges, veterans, air traffic controllers, and nuclear safety inspectors. No one is safe. The food stamps program, Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid are next. It’s an unprecedented disaster and a five-alarm fire, but there will be a reckoning. The people did not vote for this. The American people do not want this dystopian hellscape that hides behind claims of “efficiency.” Still, in reality, it is all a giveaway to corporate interests and the libertarian dreams of far-right oligarchs like Musk. Common Dreams is playing a vital role by reporting day and night on this orgy of corruption and greed, as well as what everyday people can do to organize and fight back. As a people-powered nonprofit news outlet, we cover issues the corporate media never will, but we can only continue with our readers’ support. |
