The Roadless Rule has kept bulldozers out of 45 million acres of national forest for 25 years. Trump wants it gone so logging companies can move in. Tell Congress to stop him: actionnetwork.org/letters/te…

A private equity firm wants its own driveway into Yosemite, and Trump's Interior Department is thinking about it. 17,531 of us have told Congress hell no. Make it 18,000 tonight. Send yours: actionnetwork.org/letters/te…

A federal judge just threatened AG Todd Blanche with civil contempt for hiding handwritten FBI notes from the Epstein files. The Justice Department is actively protecting regime elites while leaving survivors exposed. Stop the coverup and demand the unredacted release: actionnetwork.org/letters/te…

The Interior Department is quietly trying to carve up Yosemite National Park to build a private access road for a luxury developer. We cannot let them sell off our public lands for elite profit. Tell Congress to kill this corrupt deal immediately: actionnetwork.org/letters/te…

TRUMP JUST ARMED THE MILITARY AND POINTED IT AT DEMOCRATS
Not a metaphor. Not hyperbole. National Guard troops in Washington DC got a directive to start carrying loaded sidearms on the street. That happened on a Sunday. Like it was nothing
The executive order is titled about a "DC crime emergency." The actual text expands National Guard deployment powers NATIONWIDE
Read that again. Nationwide
And which cities is Trump "considering" for this armed rollout next. Not Tulsa. Not Boise. Every single city floated so far is run by Democrats
Memphis already got the treatment. Now Russ Vought is asking for over 10 billion dollars to build it into a permanent machine — more Park Police, more federalized boots on the ground, funded through fiscal 2027
That's not a crime emergency response. That's a standing occupation force built to punish blue cities and Trump gets to pick the targets himself
No debate. No vote. No city council asked. One man decides which American cities get treated like hostile territory and which ones don't
Meanwhile actual violent crime data doesn't drive a single one of these decisions. Political maps do
This is the same man who spent four years screaming about federal overreach turning federal troops into his personal enforcement squad against his own political enemies
Armed National Guard on American streets, deployed by zip code of who didn't vote for him
They are not stopping at DC
This is the blueprint and Trump just showed you exactly how it works
Share it before they figure out how to make this look normal

A nursing home boss stole his workers' Social Security and Medicare money. He got 18 months and $4.4M restitution. A Mar-a-Lago dinner erased it. If pardons go to whoever can afford a plate, workers get robbed twice: once by him, once by the system.

A grieving mother walks into Capitol Hill after Trump’s rogue agents killed her daughter. Every single Republican on the committee was invited to look her in the eye. Not ONE showed up. They talk tough on TV, but when a mother demands answers, they run and hide like terrified children. Disgusting. #TrumpsCorruptCongress dworkinsubstack.com/p/trump-…

Everyday Americans struggle to afford the skyrocketing price of groceries while #TrumpsCorruptCongress approved tax breaks for last night’s ruthless state dinner patrons. Thoughts?

A Putin crony from a biker gang called the Night Wolves, now linked to the abduction of Ukrainian children, paid for Don Jr.'s wedding. Absolutely normal when your family spent years doing business with Moscow 🙄
Get rid of the grift, abuse, & corruption.

At the White House in October 1963, six weeks before his assassination, JFK and a model of the National Cultural Center, later renamed the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts:

My fellow Americans: Please direct your attention to this matter for just a moment. Allow this to sink in. The President of the United States of America just said he wants to ban the free press. He said he doesn’t want them in his office, which by the way is the Oval Office in the People’s House. This is unheard of, and we the people cannot let this be!
For the record, we have a free press in this country. For the record we should all be worried not just about this latest outburst, but by all of it going forward without permission — putting our service members in harms way, raising tariffs willy nilly, threatening buildings and institutions unless his name gets put on them. This is not the behavior of a centered leader who is focused on the good of the people. This is not the behavior of a compassionate leader focused on the millions of Americans who cannot afford healthcare, childcare, gas, or food. This is not the behavior of a man who can emotionally regulate himself.
We should all be concerned — those who voted for him and those who didn’t. The midterms are around the corner. Vote like your life and the lives of others are at stake, because they are. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
