@RepJudyChu @DemWomenCaucus This is so disheartening. Is this something policy can fix or is it cultural?

For the second year in a row, the gender pay gap has gotten worse. Women make only 81 cents for every dollar a man makes--and it's even lower for women of color. And Trump and Republicans' anti-women policies are only widening the gap.  My @demwomencaucus colleagues and I are committed to advancing equality in the workplace and an economy that works for women. Because Equal Pay Day isn't just about today, it’s about shaping the future for all women and girls. #EqualPay

The Senate has rejected war powers resolutions regarding Iran. But polls show that the public disagrees: YouGov reports that 56% of Americans say the president should have sought congressional approval before striking Iran. Only 28% disagreed. yougov.com/en-us/articles… 1/3

@VOPorg It’s frustrating feeling like Congress doesn’t respond to us at all but if we want to be represented we need to make our voices heard, not just through polls but by directly contacting our representatives.

5 states have held primaries, but already 17% of Congress has been elected by just 1.4% of voters. How is this happening, and what can be done about it? 🤔 Learn more: uniteamerica.org/primary-problem

@uniteamerica It’s a feedback loop — when people feel frustrated and unheard they won’t participate, making their voices even less heard. There’s data on this from Pew Research Center. We have to be looking for innovative ways to break this cycle of disengagement.

Voting in the U.S. isn’t one system. States set the rules. Local officials run elections. Federal oversight is limited. Our latest explainer breaks down who really decides who gets a vote. Article in reply.

@uniteamerica Love this message. We should always be looking to hold Congress accountable by telling our representatives how we feel about issues like this.

What happens when the power to declare war shifts away from Congress and into the hands of one person? The Constitution is clear. But the reality looks very different. If we want accountability, we have to ask the question. Who declares war? #Democracy #WarPowers #Congress #Constitution #OpenPrimaries #UniteAmerica

Policing in the U.S. is mostly local. But Congress still influences law enforcement through funding, oversight, and legislation. Our latest explainer breaks down how Congress fits into policing policy. Article in reply.

Could someone be deported without a conviction? Should immigration enforcement be expanded? Could access to public lands and the use of lead ammo change? Three bills in Congress are raising big questions this week. IssueVoter helps you weigh in on the issues that matter to you.

U.S. influence at the United Nations is shaped in Congress — not just diplomatic meetings. A new explainer shows how congressional funding can influence UN operations and diplomacy. What role should Congress play at the UN? Article in reply.

ICYMI: 71% of Americans say they support broad primary election reform, requiring states to hold open primary elections in which all voters can participate. Currently, 16 states lock out over 16.5 independent million voters from participating in primaries. Read more from @mary_whitfill in @Forbes: forbes.com/sites/maryroel…

🗳️ U.S. primaries begin today! 🗳️ Primary season is kicking off in five states — Arkansas, North Carolina, Texas, Mississippi, and Illinois — covering 77 U.S. House districts. If you think these elections are just the opening act before the “real” contest in November, think again. In 74 of those 77 districts — 96% — the race is effectively over before the general election even begins. The dominant party’s primary will decide who goes to Congress. Roughly 17% of the entire U.S. House will be effectively decided in March alone. In Illinois, Arkansas, and Mississippi, not a single House race is rated competitive in November. Every district in those states will be settled in the dominant party’s primary. And in more than a third of these districts — 26 races — the outcome is already locked in before a single vote is cast. These candidates are running unopposed in seats that will be safely won by the dominant party. This staggering lack of competition in American elections isn’t an anomaly. It’s a preview of how the 2026 election will unfold across the country. Learn more: uniteamerica.org/articles/prima…
