At the newsletter right now: A Texas woman was just released from jail after five months - FOR A MISCARRIAGE.
While she was jailed, the county turned her fetal remains over to a crisis pregnancy center - which then named the fetus and gave it a public funeral.

Dems can:
-oppose all Trump nominees until this EO is withdrawn
-deny unanimous consent to slow senate proceedings
-vote no on all cloture
-force quorum calls at every chance
It’s a constitutional crisis. There is absolutely no reason the Senate should be connecting business as usual.

It is very easy to call your representatives’ offices. They have to log your calls and the call numbers are meaningful. You don’t even have to try to convince anyone; just call and tell them your concerns. They are there to represent you. Let them know what that means. www.usa.gov/elected-offi...

There is also now an OMB dot gov email doing the same thing. Be safe y'all.
A reminder that your organization’s public listservs that can be signed up for on your website are, of course, not private.
You should both keep an eye out for people signing up your listserv with that DEI snitch gov email, and try to skim it regularly for anything else fishy.
