5 Calls Spend 5 minutes. Make 5 calls. Make your voice heard.

I just called my reps with @5calls.org, you should too: 5calls.org
They give you the numbers and a sample script, or you can say it in your own words. This is a great tool.

Do not help the Republicans further destroy the country. Hold the line and fight for healthcare coverage.

This article makes it clear why and when our government stopped being by and for the people. It lays out specific points that would make a good Democratic platform.

He was a hateful, racist man. If he is the hero of the MAGA movement, they need to do better. No one should support a political ideology that demeans whole groups of people. He didn't deserve to be murdered. No one does, but it doesn't make him a martyr.

Where was this posted? Is it for real? I can't believe how stupid those grinning Republicans look.

This country is totally made up of minorities. If Trump and Miller's goal is to get rid of all minorities, they are going to be lonely.

Of course, they say that, but you can bet there's a list somewhere, and Trump is quaking in his boots.

Opinion | You Donโ€™t Have to Be a Doctor to Understand This

Politicians may slash budgets and dismantle institutions, but they cannot erase the principle that built them: that caring for others is a moral obligation, not a partisan position.

If you can't tolerate Democrats, how will you tolerate Republicans. You can't fix the country with only a small portion of the people.

You sound a little full of yourself. A lot of Democrats have tried to govern well, but it's easier to do it after the fact that during turmoil. I'm curious how you plan to fix things.

This is unbelievable. Trying to protect people from a mob by asking for a required warrant has now become a crime. These thugs need to be brought under control.

Just called Keating (D)MA 9 to voice my anger at his vote on HRS 488. This district has a lot of immigrants who add to our community and pose no safety risk. I can't believe he would betray them and the citizens of his district with this cowardly vote.

They owe us facts about how many people they detained and what were their crimes? What happened to them? I don't trust or believe ICE, Miller, or Trump, and I suspect many others feel the same. This is not about keeping us safe; it's about demoralizing people and sowing fear. It is unacceptable.

Hegseth is itching for a war. If he can't get one overseas, he will settle for one with American citizens.

He thinks he's in charge of everything. His department has nothing to do with policing the streets.

This man operates on envy. Israel has an iron dome, so Trump must have a gold dome. How many people will he need to throw off healthcare to pay for this?

So let me get this straight: masks are bad and un-American if worn to fight a pandemic, but good if worn by people claiming to be government agents when they kidnap people off the street

They are there, and they are speaking out. I can't keep up with reading and listening to them, but I try.

The problem of having an undefined national emergency, evident only to Trump is that we'll never know if it's getting better. Or worse, if it's getting worse somewhere else that requires dire action.

Musk continues to cut the infrastructure of SSA. It won't be long until the remaining staff will be unable to manage benefits. That is a devastating possibility. This is an unlawful incursion, and it needs to be litigated asap.

Where is Kamala Harris? Waltz is holding rallies. Other Dems are having town halls. I haven't seen or heard anything from her. We supported her in the 24 election. She should help the country now.

I don't think we're looking at 2028 now. If Trump is still entrenched then, we won't be having an election. Bernie & AOC have engaged with angry voters, and they've shown us we haven't been abandoned. They offer honest information and hope.

They are doing what everyone in Congress should be doing. I would like to see more rallies especially in red areas.
