Still Think Democrats Aren't Fighting Back? Introducing Lauren Underwood.


Providing a clear legislative alternative to Trump and the Republicans is an important part of battling the Trump administration. She co-sponsored, along with Gregory Meeks, Suzan DelBenne and others, a bill to terminate Trump’s declaration of a national emergency that he used to impose tariffs on Canada and Mexico, a bill to expand subsidies under the ACA, a bill to add certain cancer screening tests to Medicare and Medicaid, a bill to change labour laws to make organizing unions easier, and a bill to provide the admission of Washington DC as a state.

Another bill she co-sponsored would stop Elon Musk and his adolescent Musk Minions from accessing American’s personal information. Two days ago, she signed a discharge petition in order to try and force it to a vote in the House.

Americans need to join with those engaged in the fight against Trump. Their actions need to be highlighted, their work recorded, and their courage supported. It is for this reason that I chose to amplify the vast majority of Democrats, especially those like Lauren Underwood, that are unheralded and less well known, who are meeting the moment with strength and resolve every day.
