🚨Trump and Republicans are pushing a bill that would gut Medicaid and SNAP for Veterans who rely on them to survive.

We didn’t serve this country to be abandoned.

πŸ“ž Call your Senator: (202) 224-3121
Tell them to vote NO.

#VoteNO

Even the GOP admit that this bill is a full-on assault on the most vulnerable.

Medicaid cuts, SNAP cuts, and gutting rural hospitals, all to give tax breaks to the wealthy!

It's time to #VoteNo and stand up for working people.

War Powers Presidents have overread their power to take the nation to war and have violated civil liberties in wartime. We’re working to rein in overbroad war authorities.

🚨PLEASE READ and REPOST (1 of 2)

Brennan Center for Justice:
The Constitution gives Congress, not the president, the power to raise, support, and regulate the military and to declare war.

Donald Trump illegally took military action against Iranβ€”without congressional authorizationβ€”risking dragging us into another endless war.

I am calling for an immediate emergency session of Congress to vote on the War Powers Resolution.

The President's disastrous decision to bomb Iran without authorization is a grave violation of the Constitution and Congressional War Powers.
He has impulsively risked launching a war that may ensnare us for generations.
It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.

When are GOP in Congress going to get spines and stand up to ongoing violations to the constitution that 47 doesn’t even know he’s to uphold?! Oh wait, he said he can do anything, SCOTUS told him that. Ugh. We are screwed.

- war without congressional approval
- masked thugs abducting and deporting people without due process
- concentration camps on foreign soil
- US military deployed against protesters
- tariffs costing families thousands
- gutting healthcare for millions

… we’re only 152 days in

Masked agents in unmarked cars disappearing people from the street and shipping them to a dictator’s prison. Executive branch officials blowing off federal court orders, wrestling members of Congress to the ground and handcuffing them for asking a question. Smells like fascism.

The folks hollering about β€œfamily values” are out here tearing families apart with unlawful ICE raids, militarized police, & the weaponization of government.

All while ripping away food & healthcare from working-class families.

Are the family values in the room with us?

That any of us have to care about the messy breakup of these two massive narcissists β€” and that they both individually wield such massive power β€” is an indictment of our political system and further proves the poisonous influence of Big Money on our democracy.

Below is my email to Joni Ernst: 

Tax cuts for billionaires do nothing to help your lowa constituents and Trump's tax scam bill is a slap in the face to hardworking lowans. Your recent response to an audience member concerned about the proposed Medicaid cuts - "We're all going to die" - was disgraceful. It was callous and showed just how out of touch with reality you and the MAGA Republican Party are when it comes to the issues. While you and your colleagues enjoy your free government sponsored healthcare, you're all perfectly fine taking healthcare away from the American people. Cutting the benefits of working people to allow the rich to get even richer is shameful. I'm just wondering how you folks sleep at night knowing that the bill you're supporting is hurting your constituents? Do you even care that children will go hungry and without healthcare people will die? It seems like the Republican Party has only one agenda and that is to curry favor with the convicted felon who is masquerading as our president.
Your party is ruining this country and you all deserve to be voted out in the midterm elections. I hope the American people wake up before it's too late.

Joni Ernst is my senator and after her disgusting β€œWe’re all going to die” remark, I decided to email her a letter using @resist.bot.

Trust me when I say that I was as diplomatic as I could possibly be given her disgusting attitude. She is truly a horrible person.
