WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today MoveOn Political Action condemns Cornel West’s corrupt ballot access program and collusion with Trump allies to undermine voters and Vice President Harris in key swing states. The Associated Press released a damning story showing that West’s team had fraudulently included the names of unknowing people on its Arizona slate of electors. When contacted, West elector Denisha Mitchell claimed she never agreed to be a West elector, and she didn’t even know what that was – proving a deep level of coordination between the West campaign and Trump’s…

WASHINGTON (AP) — The House passed a sweeping defense bill Friday that provides an expected 5.2% pay raise for service members but strays from traditional military policy with Republicans add-ons blocking abortion coverage, diversity initiatives at the Pentagon and transgender care that deeply divided the chamber.

With this week marking the anniversary of the disastrous Dobbs decision, we wanted to share new research which documents the abortion stances of every Complicit Caucus member. Since last year, support for abortion rights has grown, even and especially in red states, which puts the Complicit Caucus’s collective stance on abortion even further out of step with a vast majority of Americans.  Despite running as moderates, the entire Complicit Caucus positions itself among the extreme right on abortion. These members of Congress, who vote lockstep with Republican leadership, represent constituents…
