#ICYMI: Speaker Mike Johnson lives in a $3.7 million D.C. townhouse with evangelical pastor Steve Berger, who has attacked the separation of church and state as “a delusional lie."

Berger's project: ministering to members of Congress so that what “they learn is then translated into policy.”

If Trump can disappear green card holders for protesting war, he can disappear you.

If he can disappear visa holders for criticizing him, he can disappear you.

If he can disappear asylum seekers for tattoos, he can disappear you.

We must speak out now — before there is no one left to speak out.
