Protests are helping. Contact your reps in the House and Senate. Call Congress. Flooding them with calls gets attention.
It adds up when enough of us use our voices.
Also, dig in now to work for your local Democrats. Midterms are coming and we need to be ready.

Maybe if Mike Pence hadn’t completely prostituted himself to Donald Trump for 4 years people would occasionally pay attention to what he says
Because on this issue, he’s right
Because on this issue, he’s right
Pence: "They support Hamas. They supported Al Qaeda. Qatar has actually financed pro-Hamas protests on college campuses across the US. So the very idea we would accept an Air Force One from Qatar I think is inconsistent with our security, intelligence needs, & my hope is the president reconsiders."

So if no reputable lawyer will work for trump, he ensures no lawyer will work against him.
All this for one small man’s fragile ego.

The assault on law firms is less about each firm’s business with the federal govt than frightening firms from taking on cases the admin opposes.
Each principle - due process, educational freedom and right to representation - has implications for everyone regardless of party affiliation or leaning.

Which Trump will not do. Trump’s real battle is against the Judiciary. His goal is to destroy the rule of law.
Trump controls Bukele. All they have to do is ask.

JD made this same argument. And he seemed to mean it. Pretty terrifying, right?
Oh my god you want me to find "evidence" before putting someone in jail? Every time?? Do you have any idea how long that would take

Yes, yes, yes! “If Trump wants better media coverage, he can start by being a better person.”
60 Minutes has done factual, yet unflattering stories on Trump, so he wants FCC Chair Brendan Carr to revoke CBS’s broadcast license.
If Trump wants better media coverage, he can start by being a better person.

It must be exhausting: checking in with Trump several times a day to update what you’re thinking.
Pee Wee German said last night the global tariffs were the greatest economic strategy ever. Now reversing them is.

So President Obama bailed out the auto companies in 2009 only to have trump demolish the with tariffs in 2025. Let’s keep the protests going.

I cannot understand how the appallingly incompetent nominees trump brought forward got a single democrat vote.
Breaking: Sen. Richard Blumenthal says he plans to place a hold on ALL Trump nominees going forward.
This will force Republicans to hold individual votes to override each hold, which will severely slow down their agenda.

Opinion: SAVE Act claims to solve an election problem that doesn’t exist
Requiring proof of citizenship would do more harm than good, undermining our elections by making it harder to vote.

Pretty clear Trump has zero intention to “preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.” Can we impeach him now and definitively throw him out of the White House?
Lock him up‼️‼️‼️
BREAKING: 60 Minutes just exposed the lie. Over 75% of those deported to El Salvador’s mega-prison are innocent. No crimes. No charges. No justice. This is manufactured fear and state-sanctioned abuse.

Time to call for the resignation of the felon in the White House? If Congress is willing to let Trump ignore laws, and the SCOTUS can’t get him to obey court orders, maybe it’s time for rich donors to demand his resignation.
Make no mistake, we will be seeing a massive stock market crash in the very near future possibly even tomorrow and it will be done deliberately by a criminal who knows nothing of business and everything about fraud and bankruptcy.

One man just wiped out $10 trillion in wealth, is destroying centuries-old legal protections, and seems determined to unravel humanity’s greatest public health achievement. In 3 months.
I don’t know how we get out of this. But if we do, one person can never have that kind of power again.

@raskin.house.gov can you please work with AG Brown to sue Homan for contempt of court? If Homan can ignore the courts, then our system of checks and balances is gone. This is far more serious than anything else the trump administration is cooking up.
