No matter how many EOs Trump signs, they do not become law. Only Congress can pass laws.

The Trump Regime has deleted DOJ guidance to businesses on complying with the Americans With Disabilities Act.
25% of Americans live with a disability.
Trump cannot delete the ADA, and he cannot delete disabled Americans. We are not going back to asylums and sanitariums.

"Having, and nurturing, a sphere for joy and connection and community and love and food and music and human difference … is everything they are not and everything they are trying to take away. They are waging a war on living. The more fully you live, the harder their job will be."

Good rule of thumb for determining who are the good guys and who are the bad guys is “which side is eliminating libraries” www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
Trump moves to gut several agencies, targeting Voice of America, libraries
The president signed an executive order that repeals several Biden-era labor and environmental policies, and another that severely cuts various independent agencies.

CALLS ARE WORKING - it has bought us precious time, but we NEED to keep the pressure up.
Tomorrow is the cloture vote.
KEEP CALLING: (202) 224-3121 ☎️☎️☎️
Tell your Dem Senator to vote NO on Cloture and NO on the Republican spending bill.
Do NOT assume your Senator will be good on this. Trust me.

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave.
Tell them:
1. Vote NO on Cloture
AND
2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill.
Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it.
TODAY is the showdown.

The attacks on the rights and livelihoods of trans people should be more than enough to act and fight back publicly, but listen: even aside from that, we will all suffer if Dems don't fight back and allow the GOP to continue attacking and fully occupying the national discourse.

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024.
You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right?
Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year.
You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.
