Washington, D.C. – MoveOn Political Action released a new ad highlighting how twice-impeached Donald Trump, facing a myriad of indictments, including attempts to overturn the 2020 election, should be disqualified from running for president. Despite the four indictments and 91 criminal charges, the other GOP primary candidates and the MAGA Complicit Caucus in Congress continue to enable Trump’s attacks on our elections and democratic values.  “Trump was responsible for a deadly insurrection against our country and should be ineligible to run for president again,” said MoveOn Political Action Executive Director…

Washington, D.C. – Following twice-impeached President Trump’s fourth criminal indictment, MoveOn Political Action is calling on No Labels to disavow Trump. In addition to the group’s lack of action surrounding Trump’s arrests, No Labels has yet to admonish Trump for his role in the January 6 insurrection and even granted him their “Problem Solver” Award in 2016. No Labels has been dishonestly arguing that any opposition to its bid is anti-democratic, yet they have been conspicuously absent in disavowing Trump’s attempts to overthrow the election and speaking to the fact that their third-party effort…

Credit: Craig Barritt/Getty/MoveOn Donald Trump is the first president—former or current—to have been charged with a crime. Over the last five months, Trump has been indicted four separate times and charged with 91 felonies.  And yet, Trump is still the unrivaled front-runner for the Republican nomination, and polling has him in a dead heat with President Biden in a general-election matchup.

(Photo by Sean Zanni/Getty Images for MoveOn) After months of MAGA Republicans’ holding our economy hostage, the Biden administration and Congress have finally reached a deal to raise the debt ceiling, prevent a national default, and preserve critical federal programs. The budget deal that President Biden secured isn’t perfect, but it protects jobs, veterans’ benefits, historic climate change investments enacted in 2022, and lifesaving health care benefits, while mostly preserving the social safety net. Together, MoveOn members’ activism stopped Republicans in Congress from dragging all of us into a catastrophic…
