Today the White House confirmed that they exploring ways to deport U.S. citizens.
Not immigrants. Not green card holders. Citizens.
He’s telling us exactly what he plans to do if we don’t stop him. He wants to put US citizens into a foreign prison for reasons only he sees fit, without due process.

Update: The House just passed the Republican voter suppression measure that threatens voting access for millions of Americans, including 69 million women whose married names don't match their birth certificates.

Are you a woman who changed your name when you got married?
Congress is considering a bill that could make it much harder for you to vote.

The Trump admin is dismantling Freedom of Information Act offices. Then the offices send out emails like, “Hello, the FOIA office has been placed on admin leave and is unable to respond to any emails.” The lengths this admin will go to ensure zero transparency with the American people is astounding.
