The fundamental constitutional protections of due process and equal protection embodied in our Constitution and Bill of Rights apply to every person, regardless of immigration status.

Call your senator today.
Flood them with calls. Make your voice heard. Call daily. Call hourly. Don’t be shy.
You will get the switchboard operator. Ask for your state senator and tell them how you feel. Demand they stop this administration now.

Taking over the U.S. Postal Service would open Pandora’s box of mischief...allowing the federal government to put a big thumb on the scale and impact every state’s ability to run elections.

If Biden had done this it would have been a major story that consumed the media for the next week.
Reporter: Do you still think Zelenskyy is a dictator?

Trump: Umm did I say that? I can’t believe I said that. Next question

Just one week into his 2nd term and nearly 2/3 of the executive actions Trump has issued so far mirror Project 2025 plans, ranging from sweeping deregulation measures to aggressive immigration reform.

On Day one, Trump stopped all funding for the infrastructure law that Democrats and Republicans passed to fix our roads, bridges, airports, and other transportation projects. That was his top priority. Whatever happened to making America great again?

Nearly two-thirds of the executive actions Trump has issued so far mirror or partially mirror proposals from the Project 2025 conservative policy blueprint created by the Heritage Foundation, ranging from sweeping deregulation measures to aggressive immigration reform. shorturl.at/324Vb

Trump's attack on birthright citizenship violates the 14th Amendment. We cannot be a country that deports children who were born here to countries they have never seen.

The 14th Amendment is clear: No politician can decide who among those born in our country is worthy of citizenship.

Republican leaders are hypocrites for claiming to support law enforcement while simultaneously backing Trump's decision to pardon 1,500+ individuals who were prosecuted for their involvement in the January 6th Capitol rampage...including those who attacked police officers protecting the complex.

--Pete Hegseth is woefully unfit and unqualified for the job of Secretary of Defense.

In the immediate aftermath of the January 6th attack, Republican leaders were almost unanimous in expressing their horror at what was an unprecedented assault on an institution central to American democracy. In the years since the attack...most republicans seem to have forgotten about the event.

President Biden is expected to implement a permanent ban on new oil and gas drilling in extensive areas of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans and other federal waters. This decision is based on a 70-year-old law that may complicate the Trump administration's efforts to overturn it. shorturl.at/UsNoy
Biden Expected to Permanently Ban Oil Drilling in Some Federal Waters
The move, expected as early as Monday, relies on a 70-year-old law that could make it difficult for the Trump administration to reverse it.

My new piece for @brennancenter.bsky.social: Trump will turn the pardon power on its head if he uses it to reward people who tried to ignite an insurrection and came very close to succeeding. Pardoning the insurrectionists is support for the insurrection itself. www.brennancenter.org/our-work/ana...
Trump Pardoning Jan. 6 Insurrectionists Would Endorse Attacks on Democracy

What a ridiculous narcissistic whiner... complaining about a small gesture of respect in honor of past President Carter. He sure didn’t get upset when his MAGA cult tore down the American flag on Jan. 6 and replaced it with Trump flags.

Occupy Democrats just launched its new YouTube channel, which exposes Trump, Musk, and the GOP’s racist, fascist agenda — and showcases Trump’s criminal history and authoritarian tactics so that all Americans will know that we must stand in opposition to the 2025 agenda. tinyurl.com/4akyfx9r

Trump isn't president yet, but that hasn't stopped him from acting like he is. The President-elect's chaotic smokescreen seems designed to mask his backtracking, waffling, and lies.

Out: Trump’s campaign promises. In: War with Canada, Panama, and Greenland.

Be careful what you ask for. Republican strongholds in the Midwest and Southwest are growing concerned that Trump's mass deportations could cripple their construction, agriculture, and food processing industries, which rely on undocumented labor.
Immigrants are vital to the workforce and economy.

In a spirit of inclusivity, President-elect Trump spread holiday cheer by wishing nearly everyone a Merry Christmas, including his political opponents, Canada, Panama, Greenland, and President Biden. The broad-reaching gesture made everyone feel acknowledged and part of the celebration. NOT!
December 26, 2024 at 1:26 AM
Merry Christmas! I hope you find peace in your heart and joy in the company of your friends and loved ones. Remember to share some kindness, especially with those without loved ones or facing difficult challenges. This time can be tough for some people, and your support could make a difference!

The current state of democracy is complex. Election denial and voter suppression are persistent issues. Legal battles have become a common aspect of modern elections. To win elections and protect democracy, we must learn from this reality and carry those lessons forward. shorturl.at/zZ6Jk
