Amplify the good stuff. Bring attention to topics in danger of falling off the radar. Focus on legit news in need of amplification. Remember: Carl Bernstein says, "Truth is not neutral." Christiane Amanpour, says be "truthful, not neutral."

Republicans in Congress are obeying Trump's orders. Pushback within the executive branch seems limited. I asked Rep Crow what firewalls exist to protect the rule of law.
"The American people," he said. "Everyday Americans, standing up and exercising their courage."

The Trump administration tried to indict Crow and other Congressional Democrats for reminding military service members that they should defy illegal orders. Crow says an order for the military to seize control of ballots or election systems would be such an illegal order.

Rep Jason Crow (D-CO) says he won't be intimidated by the Trump administration's attempt to indict Congressional Democrats. But I asked Crow whether the failed indictment might have the effect of silencing other Trump critics

The largest Habitat for Humanity project in the West (Hope Springs in Greeley, CO) just lost $1M in federal funds.
Plans for 40 homes this year are scaled back to 20. Let's make it 21.
We've raised $40k tonight! I'll match the next fifty $5 donations: give.greeleyhabitat.org/campaigns/43...

It goes back much further. This is a common practice during worksite raids. This happened during a 2018 raid in Trump’s first term, and the Biden DOJ ended up settling a lawsuit about it.
