The United States cannot afford a Government shutdown that will harm services to Americans, and potentially endanger our country.

Some of us in America are so sick from this daily horror since our 2016 elections. Journalists can help in so many ways and they do today. But Trump in simply a con man. He knows how to play people to get what he wants and it really is first and foremost to get his name in print. To be talked about. I grew up in South Jersey and it has always been about that for him. Nothing's changed he's just grown into a monster. Bring him down a peg or two. Don't say or print his name. But keep up the wonderful journalism out there. We need you and thank you!

When Donald Trump came to the defense of white supremacists and Neo-Nazis, he crossed a threshold from which he can't return. Republicans like Rick Baker must disavow Donald Trump immediately. Rick Baker's refusal to challenge Donald Trump is nothing new. Baker has never once condemned Trump for any of his statements--from the outset of Trump's campaign to this very day. However, Trump's most recent remarks stating that there were "many fine people" among the white supremacists and Neo-Nazis who converged on Charlottesville was beyond the pale. Rick Baker must disavow Donald Trump's defense of white supremacists. If Rick Baker won't stand up to Donald Trump when he defends Neo-Nazis, at what point will Rick Baker be willing to tell our President that he is wrong? Or will Rick Baker stay silent on these issues at the behest of his GOP donors?

We have all been affected by the threats and lies this man spews out daily. There should not be a public forum for his abusiveness and violence. He should be held to the same set of rules all others are in any medium.

Tax payers are paying to much for Trumps constant personal travel to his own properties. The secret service has already spent their 2017 budget and will be asking Congress for more money.

Trump is woefully inadequate as "leader of the free world." He is a threat to our democracy. While causing chaos he is dismantling US diplomacy around the world, environmental protections, health care, social programs, public education, and much more as he embraces bigotry and hate.

It’s a pretty basic principle: the public should have confidence in the independence of the Supreme Court. By speaking at the Trump Hotel at an event that will put money in the President’s pockets, Justice Gorsuch would violate that trust. The Supreme Court is set to hear arguments about Trump’s travel ban and a lower court is currently hearing arguments about Trump’s conflicts of interest. President Trump’s stake in Trump businesses presents serious conflicts of interest and ethical questions—exposing the president to bribery and allowing him to profit off the presidency by using his position to promote his businesses. Justice Gorsuch, who has repeatedly sided with big money interests throughout his judicial career, should make it clear that he is committed to maintaining his independence and does not condone Trump’s conflicts of interest by canceling his appearance.

Whether we voted for them or not, the President and the Vice-President of the United States work for us! Yet when I try and call the White House, I get put on hold -and never picked back up. No- that is not democracy. There is literally no way to get a hold of the Vice President. I've called the Republican Party, the Democrats in DC everyone everywhere -and I'm just being giving the switchboard phone number. This is not how this is supposed to work -they work for us -we are not their minions, they are not nonreachable overlords. Help me -somebody- find a real phone number- for the VP- With Trump being unstable, ineffective, racist, anti-female, anti-EPA- the list goes on, we may end up with the VP -and yet he's hiding behind Trump. We need to begin the next part -*sorrowfully of "the show" that has become the presidency. Thank you for anyone who can supply this! Stand up for your rights. They are not emperors -they work for us with our tax dollars.

The California DISCLOSE Act (AB 249) would turn the tide on unlimited secret money in politics by exposing those who try to buy elections with deceptive ads. AB 249 will make all TV, radio, and print ads for ballot measures show the REAL names of their top 3 funders clearly and prominently. No more vague front group names in fine print. The DISCLOSE Act would make California lead the resistance against secret money in politics, but time is short for it to pass this session! Sign and share our petition to demand the Legislature pass the California DISCLOSE Act today.

Some legal scholars currently profess uncertainty over the ability of presidential self-pardon. So a president -- regardless of the strength of evidence that they had committed a felony -- might remain in office while fighting the question in court. This could leave the country in a state of extreme disruption and paralysis.

Donald Trump is unwilling to stop the threat of domestic terrorism that white supremacists pose to everyday citizens of the United States. Such failure of moral leadership deserves bipartisan condemnation and justifies his removal from office.

#45 has gone too far.
