Just to be clear: the incoming Trump administration is going to war against their own Republican senate majority and the constitution's advice and consent provision so they can make a man investigated for ***sex trafficking a minor*** into the most powerful law enforcement officer in the country.

Attorney General’s from democratic states are stepping up. If you live in a state, your AG has publicly said they will oppose illegal actions by the Trump administration. You must write them and thank them also T ell your governor you are pleased with their actions and you must be public about it!

Was there today for the H.R. 9495 vote (bill that would have allowed labeling nonprofits as terrorist supporting organizations).

Voted no, of course - but I do want to report that the activism DID work and persuaded members.

I thought it’d be a lonely NO vote, which we take often. It wasn’t.

About all these people he wants to charge with federal crimes . It won’t be as easy as he thinks. Even with an AG who will bend to his will, he has one of the provisions of the 5th amendment to contend with .His retribution might just flop.
