Instead of trying to earn more votes, Republican officials across the South are executing a systematic effort to dismantle Black political representation in Congress through gerrymandering. It's time for broad reforms to end this kind of gerrymandering for good.

JD Vance remains busy with name-calling, but the Trump Administration's economic failures are there for all to see. Americans are living with the consequences of Trump cutting taxes for the wealthy, cutting health care, and launching expensive wars that send taxpayer dollars abroad while jacking up fuel costs at home.

It was a pleasure to spend time with Prime Minister Carney last week in Toronto. In a rapidly changing world, the longstanding partnership between our two countries remains essential. At home and abroad, there is no going back to old ways - nor should we try - but as neighbors and friends we should work together to shape a better future

Once Democrats do win back power in Washington, we must not think our job is to restore a broken prior status quo. Here's what should come next.

Donald Trump is preoccupied with pet projects like securing taxpayer funding for his gilded ballroom, plastering his face everywhere, and renaming airports after himself. Our focus remains on everyday life, which gets better and more affordable when we replace this corrupt administration and its enablers in Congress with serious leaders ready to deliver.

The Supreme Court has rolled back decades of hard-won civil rights progress. This decision will make Congress less representative for millions of Black Americans and others, and allow more politicians to pick their voters rather than the other way around. But this isn’t a moment to give in to despair - now is the time to take action and build something better: a truly representative democracy, capable of improving everyday life.

The Montana Plan offers a practical, lawful solution to tackle one of the biggest issues underlying everything else we care about: reclaiming democratic control and putting power back in the hands of regular people, not special interests. Voters in Montana have an important opportunity this year to stand up to absurd amounts of corporate money being spent to distort their elections. I’m encouraging everyone in the state to back this state initiative - and for those of us across the country to support efforts like this to make our government and elected officials more accountable to the people they’re meant to serve.
