The transformation of ICE into a type of national police force, backed, in some cases, by soldiers from the National Guard, has been covered as immigration story—but these forces are reshaping democracy for all of us.

And there’s only one of those positions in the world.
Yet he’s still speaking out and risking reprisal.

“In true Trumpian fashion, Noem, Vance, and other administration officials have gone as far as to refuse expressing any remorse or normal human empathy for the death of a mother who leaves behind a toddler.”

Five Republicans joined with Senate Democrats today to take a step forward in checking President Trump's unlawful actions in Venezuela - but we need everyone to stand up and use your voice to demand the Senate assert our Constitutional authority over the use of military force.

We can no longer sit around and watch what Trump and the oligarchs are doing to our country.

It's time to reach out to the Trump supporters you know.
There are proven ways to do this.
It's not that hard when you do it right...
