Brett Kavanaugh believes that a sitting president is immune to prosecution and possibly even investigation. His nomination is intended to protect Trump from the independent counsel investigation. Kavanaugh has suggested that Roe v. Wade was decided incorrectly, implying that he would vote to overturn it.

Trump has gone too far. 1.) We can't have a president with an enemies list. We must protect those that have security clearance. These patriots are protecting our nation. 2.) The press is not the "enemy of the people".

Confirmation of a Supreme Court Justice is a grave responsibility and affects all Americans. Confirmation should not be undertaken until everything about the nominee is known.

I think this is a very important issue (gerrymandering)

The U.S. Postal Service is the most popular government agency in the country, with a favorability rating of nearly 90 percent. But now, President Trump is bent on destroying it. This week, a task force led by Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and White House budget director Mick Mulvaney, is expected to endorse the privatization of the US Postal Service. If the US Post Office is privatized, rural communities would suffer the most. “If the goal of the Postal Service is to make as much money as possible,” Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) told the Nation in June, “tens of millions of people, particularly low-income people and people in rural areas, will see a decline in or doing away with basic mail services.” Private companies won’t deliver to certain remote areas because it’s not profitable to do so, but the Postal Service is obligated to serve all Americans regardless of where they live. Please join with us and help stop the privatization of the US Post Office! ----------------------------------------------------- Source: https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/trumps-privatization-plan-would-destroy-the-postal-service/2018/08/07/caaf9a24-99a2-11e8-8d5e-c6c594024954_story.html?utm_term=.574d1e03bb09

I have been blocked on social media by my own state representative, NY State Senator Marisol Alcantara. I am not alone. I am asking all those constituents who have been deleted or block, to join my petition to ask Marisol to stop violating our 1st Amendment rights. Thank you!

Automatic Voter Registration (AVR) is a game-changing solution. Here's how it works: whenever an eligible voter does business with the DMV or another public office, their information is automatically verified and securely added to the voter rolls, unless they opt out. This simple reform will make our election system much safer, less expensive, and more accessible. It's a much-needed improvement over our cumbersome, outdated voter registration process. Plus, it'd significantly increase the amount of eligible voters who participate in our democracy -- and make sure election results more accurately reflect what the people want. Automatic Voter Registration is just common sense -- and it’s already delivering major results in states across the country. In the 2016 election, Oregon bucked a nationwide low-turnout trend thanks to AVR -- with at least 100,000 newly registered voters showing up to the polls. In California, AVR registered over 250,000 new voters in just over two months. But we need to keep this momentum going! AVR has passed in 4 states this year -- including Massachusetts just this month -- and we must ensure that more follow their lead.

It is 2018 and Federal Employees do not have paid Maternity/Paternity leave options without exhausting our earned Sick Leave or Holiday Leave. It is time things changed!

Since I was first elected to Congress in 1998, I have brought years of experience as a social worker, public servant, and anti-war advocate to Washington, fighting for policies to promote peace, justice, and equality. Now, I'm running to become the first African American woman to lead the House Democratic Caucus, and my candidacy is based on my belief that the strength of our caucus lies in our diversity, we are at our best when everyone has the opportunity to contribute, and we must work to improve the lives of all people. I hope you'll stand with me.

Donald Trump, the bigot-in-chief, is running the country, and profiting off of it at the same time. It's time to do something about it. Take the pledge not to support Trump's bigotry and corruption by boycotting Trump's hotels, golf courses, and any other properties.

The right to vote is fundamental to our democracy -- but it's in danger. Every election, voters face discriminatory laws, needless barriers, and partisan dirty tricks -- and thousands of eligible Americans are denied a fair say in our democracy. The Voting Rights Act (VRA), one of our nation’s proudest civil rights achievements, used to protect us from this sort of voter suppression. States and counties with a history of voting discrimination had to pre-approve any changes to their voting rules with the Department of Justice -- which stopped thousands of bad laws from taking effect. But when the Supreme Court gutted that pre-clearance requirement in 2013, it invited opportunistic politicians to attack voters’ rights, passing new laws that would have never stood up to review, and making it harder for eligible Americans to have their votes counted. That’s why it’s critically important that Congress act NOW to defend voter’s rights from discrimination. The Voting Rights Advancement Act (H.R. 2978/S. 1419) would take the proactive, pro-voter approach that worked for nearly 50 years with the VRA and bring it nationwide. The VRA has a long history of bipartisan support -- as recently as 2006 it was renewed nearly unanimously by Congress, and signed by President Bush. But now, our most cherished right has become a partisan political football -- and we can’t allow that to happen. Congress must stand up for the right to vote, and pass the Voting Rights Advancement Act -- tell your lawmakers to co-sponsor this bill and make sure it gets a fair hearing today.

I am struck by the differences between these two candidates on issues where Dark Money plays a role (PolyMet mining and medical coverage). In my opinion Painter is the stronger candidate yet because he takes no Dark Money many haven't enough information about him
