It is a brazen attempt to rig our political system and our economy to work not for ‘We the People,’ but for ‘We the Powerful.’ “This is a massive raid on our national treasury at the expense of working families—and grassroots America must act with urgency to rise up and stop it before it is too late.” Print Email Tweet | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
