- Insist our Senators refused to confirm Pam Bondi as Attorney General!! Bondi may have some basic qualifications but her most glaring credential is her blind subservience to Trump. As Attorney General she would be manage main justice as well as the FBI, DEA, ATF and the U.S. Marshall’s Service. Will she provide justice to all Americans equally? Or, will she bend to Trump’s will to prosecute his enemies selectively? Bondi, in her confirmation hearings refused to acknowledge that Biden won the 2020 election, she refused to acknowledge that Biden got more total votes than Trump in 2020, she refused to acknowledge that Trump illegally insisted that the Georgia secretary of state “find” the votes he needed to win the state!! Bondi further insisted that Kash Patel, nominee to head the FBI, whom she would supervise, did not have an enemies list – a list he included as an appendix to one of his books!! Make no mistake, Bondi is a Trump loyalist. If she can’t say no to him about his failure to win in 2020 what will she say no to? America deserves more in our Attorney General!! Senators DO YOUR JOB!!
- Demand our Senators refuse to confirm Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., as Secretary of Health and Human Services!!! More than 15,000 doctors have signed a letter urging the Senate reject RFK Jr. as health secretary! In that letter they say, “The health and well-being of 336 million Americans depend on leadership of HHS that prioritizes science, evidenced-based medicine, and strengthening the integrity of our public health agencies. RFK Jr. is not only unqualified to lead this essential agency – he is actively dangerous.” HHS oversees 13 agencies, including the Food and Drug Administration, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the National Institutes of Health. Kennedy has described wanting to dismantle these offices and rebuild them with like-minded fringe figures. Kennedy has said he would stop NIH from studying infectious diseases, that he considers childhood vaccines as “environmental toxins”! Kennedy has said that he would say to NIH scientists “Thank you for your service. We are going to give infectious diseases a break for about eight years.”!! Kennedy’s anti-vaccine message proved lethal in Samoa in 2019 when 83 people died from measles for misinformation about vaccines promoted by Kennedy. To many scientists, doctors and those who know healthcare, Kennedy is a clear and present danger to America! DO NOT CONFIRM KENNEDY AS HHS SECRETARY!!
- Demand our Senators refuse to confirm Trump’s terrible cabinet nominee, Tulsi Gabbard for Director of National Intelligence!! Gabbard has a history of changing her viewpoints and her values depending on who is in power. She has no loyalty to the American public and will use her position as a MAGA loyalist to continue to cozy up to dictators like Vladimir Putin and spread dangerous propaganda that undermines the safety of our communities. We must demand that our Senators reject this self-interested Trump nominees who will put their profits over serving everyday Americans and instead select people who protect our freedoms and lives! Tulsi Gabbard MUST NOT be allowed to control our National Intelligence!!
- Demand our Senators refuse to confirm the nomination of Kash Patel as Director of the FBI!! Patel has plans to remake the FBI into a tool of Trump. His objective is to fire the top ranks of the FBI, prosecute leakers and journalists, replace the national security workforce with those loyal to Trump, and much more. He has published his initial list of those he intends to use the FBI to “go after” that has 56 names on it and its not complete. Those on his “hit list” include journalists, former FBI officials, former Attorney Generals, President Biden, witnesses for the January 6 House investigation, and many more! Although Patel would need a factual basis for instituting a FBI investigation it could be a very flimsy pretext that would result in those impacted to very disruptive and expensive legal defense – even if charges are never brought. Patel’s nomination is a clear example of how Trump is creating outlandish actions as “normal”. The GOP’s embrace of Patel’s extremist leadership style reveals how far Republicans are willing to go to undermine institutions in service to Trump. Kash Patel MUST NOT become the Director of the FBI – Senators do your JOB!!
- Both our Senators voted FOR MAGA’s Dreamer Deportation Act (nominally called the Laken Riley Act) – Let them know how you feel about that!! This bill has nothing to do with Laken Riley – that tragedy is being weaponized as a dog whistle to stoke fear, demonize immigrants, and advance MAGA’s cruel, authoritarian agenda. This bill actually will do the following: Dreamers and legal immigrants will face heightened detention risks, tearing apart families and destabilizing communities. It will detain people indefinitely, even without a conviction or formal charges, violating due process rights. It will empower state attorney generals, like Texas’s Ken Paxton, to veto federal immigration policies, creating chaos and undermining national authority. It shuts down legal immigration pathways and enables blanket bans on entire countries, disrupting family reunification, limiting skilled worker programs and undermining pathways to citizenship. Senator Kelly and Senator Gallego voted for this bill and Trump is going to sign it. Enough said.
