Washington, D.C. – MoveOn Political Action Executive Director Rahna Epting today released the following statement: “Nearly 80% of New Jersey MoveOn members surveyed voted in favor of Senator Menendez’s resignation following the recent federal bribery charges.

VIDEO: Click here to watch Washington, D.C. – On Thursday, MoveOn Political Action Executive Director Rahna Epting appeared on NBC’s Meet The Press NOW to discuss the GOP’s MAGA extremism and why it is backfiring with Americans.

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…

(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…
