The Senate is currently debating over Trump’s Tax Scam before moving to vote-a-rama and a final vote.

We need GOP senators’ phones to be ringing off the hooks: indivisible.org/resource/cal...

And when their voicemails fill up, use this tool to send an email: act.indivisible.org/sign/no-cutt...

The 35 richest Republican members of Congress have a net worth of $2.5 billion. 

They stand to gain from the GOP budget's tax cuts that disproportionately help the rich. 

Meanwhile, they're cutting Medicaid and food assistance for millions of their constituents.

Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security. 
 
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
 
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

The White House says it’s now limiting how much classified intelligence it shares with Congress, following criticism from lawmakers over the Iran bombing.

They’re assaulting the mothers and fathers of US soldiers.

Roving gangs of masked men grab human beings off the street.

They send them without due process to prisons in countries they’re not even from where they are then sold into slavery.

Make it stop!!!

For Trump, a military conflict with Iran would distract from: 

-Sinking poll numbers
-A devastating (and unpopular) budget bill
-Harmful trade wars 
-Unleashing the military on American soil
-Millions of people protesting his authoritarianism

We must remain on high alert. [Cartoon by Adam Zyglis]

Trans kids aren’t raising your rent, making your groceries more expensive, or taking away your health care.

Republicans are doing that, all while giving billionaires a tax cut.

This is not normal. A sitting president refusing to call the governor of a state after two elected officials were shot, one fatally, is beyond words. A typical president, regardless of politics, would pick up the phone. Offer condolences.

This is a United States Senator mocking the assassination of a Minnesota legislator and her husband. He pretends to be a good Mormon. He’s a sick fuck.

Speaking out against a chaotic administration that repeatedly violates the law is critical to our democracy, but we must do that peacefully and lawfully.

Let's work together as a state, as a people, to not give Donald Trump what he wants.

There's a lot going on in the world at the moment... and how's the Senate spending its time?

We're voting on Jared Kushner’s dad (a convicted felon who Trump pardoned) to be Ambassador to France, sending a billionaire convicted felon (and relative) to serve as a top diplomat.

The F.B.I. is disbanding a unit that investigates members of Congress and federal employee fraud just as the Trump administration moves to sideline divisions handling public corruption.

It’s true! A conviction in an impeachment trial requires a 2/3 vote.

Sounds hopeless, right?

Well, no. The way forward is to be R•E•L•E•N•T•L•E•S•S.

Force impeachment trials until the Senate admits he’s gotta go.

He commits a new high crime or high misdemeanor every week, so we’ve got options.
