The JUDGES Act (H.R.1702) would let Donald Trump appoint 22 more loyalist judges who will greenlight his corrupt agenda. Join me and @standupamerica.com in urging lawmakers to block this dangerous bill: act.standupamerica.com/letters/cte-...
Vote NO on the JUDGES Act
The JUDGES Act would let Trump appoint more judges who would rubberstamp his attempts to cut essential services and attack our freedoms. Tell your lawmaker to vote NO.

Tyrants view educated citizens as their greatest enemy.
Slaveholders stopped the enslaved from learning to read. Nazis burned books. Dictators censor media.
That’s why Trump is attacking education, science, and the arts – to prevent us from learning.

The Trump regime and DOGE are rolling out this playbook to attack Social Security — one of the most popular and effective government programs.
They're deliberately sabotaging it by firing SSA workers and cutting services.
Why? Because they don't want it to work.

Anyone else find this chilling? Not long ago risk of domestic terrorism was deemed to be high risk. Suddenly not so much?

Exclusive: FBI scales back staffing, tracking of domestic terrorism probes, sources say
The FBI has cut staffing in an office focused on domestic terrorism and has scrapped a tool used to track such investigations, in a shift that could undermine law enforcement’s ability to counter white supremacists and anti-government extremists, according to sources familiar with the matter.

Trump’s team is already saying they will not spend funds that Congress has authorized and appropriated.
There is no point in Democrats voting to fund the government only to let Trump and Musk do whatever they see fit with those funds.
Call your Senator: (202) 224-3121

Senate Democrats must vote against the Republican's continuing budget resolution
It's the only way to hold the Trump regime accountable. Call your senators now.
