*warning, sarcasm ahead*

Wait wait this can’t be right…Donald Trump knows nothing about Project 2025 and definitely wasn’t using it as a platform for his administration. He told us that during the campaign. It can’t be that he lied can it?

Impeach Hegseth NOW. He is urging war crimes & illegal acts by our troops Text SIGN PGKHYC to 50409 β€” Impeach Hegseth now. His speech today was dangerous and alarming. He was asking our armed forces to break the law: he encouraged US soldiers to commit war crimes against US citizens on U.S. soil. That would meet the definition of treason, right? He also urged the military to blindly follow political and illegal orders. I am appalled. You should be too. His speech was grossly authoritarian, and puts our national security and individual freedom at risk. How long are you going to tolerate the shredding of the constitution by those who swore to uphold it? Hegseth needs to be removed now.

The Militarization of American Cities is Underway, Starting with DC

DC wasn’t a one-off. It’s a test run:
bypass local leaders,
impose federal control,
normalize military-style policing.
If it stands in DC, no city is safe.
Prepare now to defend local democracy
β€”lawful, nonviolent, and people-led.

οΏΌοΏΌThis would be an excellent time to take five minutes out of your day to call your Democratic senators and tell them to keep holding a united front on not voting on the continuing resolution unless the Republicans make the concessions to protect healthcare.

Also, demand that they use their strong hand to deny Trump the blank check that Republicans want to hand him. You can use this easy tool to contact them or contact them directly.

We can't sit back & hope they stay strong. We must pressure Senate Dems to call on Leader Schumer to ensure Trump isn't handed a blank check. This week’s #RUWMOneSmallThing is to thank Sens Warren & Markey for supporting restoration of Medicaid funding & securing insurance subsidy extensions.

🧡 Happy Monday RUWMI activists! The federal govt will run out of $ & shut down at midnight on 9/30, if Congress doesn't pass a stopgap spending bill. While there is no clear path emerging for how lawmakers will get out of this mess, Dems seem to be using this opportunity for leverage (finally).
