This week, we went toe-to-toe with Trump over his intimidation of government scientists -- and Trump backed down. Now, scientists are mobilizing to block Scott Pruitt’s confirmation in the Senate based on his clear anti-science record -- and they need our support to swing crucial Senate votes against Trump’s nominee.

Donald Trump does not have a mandate to enact an extremist agenda aimed at destroying some of our most critical government programs and institutions, including healthcare, public schools, and civil rights. Taken together, President-Elect Trump’s appointment choices to date present a significant threat to our democracy, to the people of our country, and to our economy. The short list includes: REPRESENTATIVE TOM PRICE, nominated for Secretary of Health and Human Services, who has made dismantling the Affordable Care Act a landmark goal of his political career; BETSY DEVOS, a leading proponent of schools vouchers, who, as Education Secretary, would be in a position to chip away at one of the most fundamental cornerstones of civil society: public education; SENATOR JEFF SESSIONS, nominated for U.S. Attorney General, who has record of racist rhetoric and was previously rejected by the Senate Judiciary Committee over his embrace of policies that would undermine basic civil rights; ANDY PUZDER, nominated for Labor Secretary, who has consistently prioritized corporate profits over the local economy and welfare of workers; STEVE BANNON, selected to be incoming chief White House strategist, who is a propagandist for white supremacy, and would bring sexism, anti-semitism, homophobia, racism and transphobia with him to the Oval Office. Selecting cabinet leaders who have a history of being anti-healthcare, anti-public school, anti-civil rights, anti-worker, and pro-white supremacy is not the America that the majority of Americans voted for. Remind Senate leaders that Donald Trump does not have a mandate, and tell them to stop his appointments now!

It's enough. The people of Hagerstown need to break the monopoly held by Antietam cable. Prices continue to go up as service options and reliability decline. My bill has gone up $30 as my service level was eliminated and I am forced to pay for a higher level of service. We need our service for school, work, and entertainment. Please sign this petition and pass it on.

I'm a musician, and I've made a penny per stream from my YouTube video. Video and audio streaming companies make the lion's share of the streaming profit while the artists get practically nothing. Artists should get at least 20 cents a stream clear. Musicians work for years to master their performances; we deserve to be paid fairly for our efforts.

The government of Bahrain has reserved the Trump International Hotel for celebration of its annual national day. This raises serious conflict-of-interest questions about the incoming president's administration, including how this event could affect US policy towards Bahrain. [1] Torture and restrictions on freedom of expression are business as usual in Bahrain. If Donald Trump lived in Bahrain, he might be in prison like Nabeel Rajab who was imprisoned for tweets that criticized the Bahraini monarchy. [2] This summer the main Bahraini opposition party was dissolved and nearly all of its leaders are now imprisoned or detained. [3] The President-elect should not accept payment from any foreign governments, especially repressive ones like Bahrain which the U.S. should continue to criticize for human rights abuses. If President-elect Trump fails to reject these payments and divest from his companies, it will increase suspicions that US foreign policy under the Trump administration is “bought and paid for”. Ask your representatives in Congress to urge Donald Trump to reject Bahrain's payment and divest from his companies by signing our petition.

To protest the brutalization of peaceful protesters and the contamination of natural resources

Disabled people are the largest minority group in the world. Destiny USA was funded through massive federal, state, and local tax breaks and subsidies. Now, Destiny and its parent company, Pyramid, are charging mobility impaired people $10 to rent a motorized scooter to traverse the massive mall. This is nothing more than an access tax by ableist corporate America. Enough is enough.

America has been damaged by the Trump election and the media is in many ways part of the reason. They have hyped and followed him like dogs in heat with a benign attitude that influened the 2016 election. They broke it, they buy it. Time is of the essence to unearth details and actions that Trump has done to disqualify him from the presidency.

Boycott Trump's properties and products until he demonstrates that we no longer need to boycott.

President-Elect Donald Trump has announced his plan to appoint former Goldman Sachs banker Steve Mnuchin U.S. Treasury Secretary. Mnuchin, who served as Trump's Campaign Finance Chair, made millions at Goldman Sachs and has been labeled a "foreclosure machine." Does that sound like someone who understands ordinary Americans?
