URGENT ‼️ There is a provision in the GOP Bill that republicans are voting on that says trump can’t be held in contempt. Make sure you CALL all senators and house members to urge them to take that provision out!!!!

Trump’s new executive order is a dangerous attempt to restrict who gets a voice in our democracy, making it harder for millions to cast a ballot and be heard. Instead of voters choosing their leaders, it paves the way for MAGA extremists to decide who gets to participate in the first place.

Their focus on wealth and power sidelines everyday struggles, leaving citizens overlooked and voiceless. None of these changes were ever for our benefit.
