We have one opportunity to stop this national destruction from happening!

The 2026 midterms

The Constitution gives Congress enormous powers to check Presidential powers.

We NEED a Congress that works for the People

Please help Dems unseat Repubs in local, State, & Federal elections:

SILOING of viewership of MSM (& bias of their viewers) are also problems!

Less biased MSM outlets are showing the horrors of what this ADMIN is doing. Fox News & other right-wing media outlet viewers won’t see it. When Fox News has aired such reporting in the past, viewers complained.

Enforcement is the issue.

If Congress has the power to maintain the military & declare war, as Article 1, section 8, clauses 1, 11-16 specify in the Constitution, then Congress can stop the President from abusive use of military powers.

Remember that when you vote in 2026!!!

Rather than focusing on dissing Dems, why not focus on strategy to overturn the Repubs in Congress who are complicit with the acts of this Admin?

A Democrat majority in the House & Senate will help curb the destruction to democracy, even if you don’t agree with all policies.

Eye on the prize!

To ALL:

We have more power of persuasion as a group:

1) CALL your Congress member. Ask them to uphold their Constitutional Oath!

2) JOIN with an organization like Indivisible.org

3) VOLUNTEER to help get Dems elected: mobilize.us

4) ALWAYS VOTE

5) URGE friends & neighbors to do the same
