The House impeachment proceedings have unveiled the rampant corruption and greed in this administration—not to mention, the unchecked xenophobia, anti-immigrant policies, and stoking of racial hatred. Trump’s inappropriate and unethical dealings with Ukrainian government officials for personal gain in the 2020 election is another prime example of Trump’s greed and abuse of power. As witnesses have come in front of the House Judiciary committee, it’s becoming abundantly clear that House Republicans have no excuse to not support impeachment. Otherwise, they will be complicit in the continued undermining of the Constitution by this administration. As leader, Mitch McConnell will determine the rules of the impeachment trial in the Senate. He has, thus far, worked to undermine democratic norms by promising “total coordination” with the White House. This outrageous position ignores his Constitutional duty and the clear facts revealed by the House inquiry, which demands a full and fair trial. Mitch McConnell needs to protect democracy and push impeachment through the Senate. It is time for Senators to get on board and support the impeachment of Donald Trump, as it is no longer a question of political division. It is a matter of protecting our democracy and making sure that our democratic norms are no longer undermined by a greedy, corrupt, and racist administration. After the hearings in the House, it’s become clear that anyone that doesn’t impeach is complicit in the corruption of this administration. Mitch McConnell no longer has any excuse. He must support impeachment immediately.

The House impeachment proceedings have unveiled abuses of power, including criminal-level charges of bribery and extortion. And even more serious, the most serious: obstructing Congress by refusing to participate or comply with the checks that protect our republic. Seventeen fact witnesses have testified to the lead-up to the extortion, executing the extortion, and covering up of extortion and provided their notes and messages. Our ally is still weakened in their position negotiating for peace, and Russia is emboldened to meddle in our elections again. As additional experts have testified before the House Judiciary Committee, it has become abundantly clear that House Republicans have no excuse for not supporting impeachment and have shown a willingness to be complicit in the continued undermining of the Constitution. It is time for ALL senators to approach the impeachment trial of Donald Trump soberly and without partiality. Senator Martha McSally no longer has any excuse. She must support a fair impeachment trial.

The Senate is poised to fail on the best opportunity of the year to end unconstitutional U.S. participation in the genocidal Saudi war in Yemen, by passing a Pentagon funding bill that doesn't end the war. Bernie Sanders and Ro Khanna and Elizabeth Warren are OPPOSED. https://twitter.com/justfp/status/1206375503248019461 Urge the Senate to vote NO on the Trump NDAA that doesn't end the Yemen war.

With the faded yellow centerline, wet pavement and headlight glare, it becomes almost impossible to see the centerline. A very dangerous situation.

To save the Cleveland BROWNS franchise

Parents and families need to be able to get to work before 8:30 am. With Sandburg Elementary being a "late start" school with doors opening at 8:25 am, families need an option to be able to drop their children off in a safe, supervised environment, as early as 7:30 am. Tell the district that we need them to provide a sustainable before school childcare solution to support children and families in the Sandburg Elementary attendance area. To date, the Madison Metropolitan School District has not offered before school care or paid adult supervision to ensure the wellbeing and safety of children.

My dogs are my children, they are my ohana, and they mean the whole world to me. We have formed an unbreakable bond and the pack has not been the same since we were all separated. The Kona Humane Society broke the law, lied to police, and lied to me about my dogs whereabouts. They intentionally tried to keep my dogs from me, despite them being registered as emotional support animals that I have had for the last 13 years of my life. Every day gets harder to live without Keebler, Ayda, and Remedy and we all need to be reunited as soon as possible! Please sign my petition and share it with your friends.

Republicans are making their case against impeachment with bold simple pronouncements to the American public. It's time for democrats to RAISE THEIR VOICES too with the TRUTH!

Imagine if, before a trial, one of the jurors said they had already made up their mind about the case, and that nothing could change their decision. They’d immediately be thrown out by the judge -- and rightly so. But that’s exactly what Senator Mitch McConnell just told Fox News -- saying he’ll coordinate with Trump’s lawyers throughout the trial and that “there is no chance the president is going to be removed from office.” Our senators are supposed to serve as fair and impartial jurors during impeachment trials -- carefully weighing the facts, upholding their constitutional duties, and acting in the best interest of the American people. But Mitch McConnell is trying to rig this trial the same way he has tried to rig our democracy. By publicly making up his mind before the trial has even begun, he has shown a flagrant disregard for his duties and for the rule of law. Our system relies on separation of powers between branches of government -- but McConnell is essentially handing Trump a blank check to do as he pleases. Our democracy cannot stand if our representatives refuse to put their country before their party and hold lawless presidents accountable. And any senator who cannot uphold this crucial constitutional duty is not fit to serve the American people. Add your name to condemn Senator Mitch McConnell -- and demand he recuses himself from President Trump’s impeachment trial.

For the leader of the Senate to openly and arrogantly claim that he, as a juror, has no problem collaborating directly with a defendant's counsel is not only an abuse of power in itself, it completely violates his own oath of office to defend the separation of powers as defined in the articles of the Constitution of the United States. Congress has its own independent authority. It does not work for the White House, nor does it belong to any particular political party. Supporting this notion is exactly the reason why three separate branches of government were established by our Founding Fathers and why they must maintain oversight of one another. If the White House can simply refuse oversight and obstruct Congress, while those within Congress openly allow this simply due to party loyalty, then We, as a republic, are doomed to become that from which our nation's founders fought to liberate us. If our congressional leaders refuse to defend the Constitution, then We, the American People, regardless of our political affiliations, must do so ourselves. You can watch Sen. McConnell speak about his planned total coordination with the White House counsel in his own words here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lbsLMNLo9Kc

Article 5 of UNDRIP states clearly that indigenous people “have the right to maintain and strengthen their distinct political, legal, economic, social and cultural institutions” which includes their languages and their names. 2019 been the International Year of Indigenous Languages is a United Nations observance in that aims to raise awareness of the consequences of the endangerment of Indigenous languages across the world, with an aim to establish a link between language, development, peace, and reconciliation.

After 9/11, the CIA detained and tortured — including beating, chaining to the ceiling, locking in coffins, and waterboarding detainees to the brink of death — over 100 Muslim men in “black site” prisons around the world. That period is a stain on human history. While Congress authorized a full investigation, the resulting full, unredacted 7,000-page CIA Torture Report has yet to be released to the public. Until we know the truth, there is no way to achieve full justice for survivors and victims of CIA torture and detention. Worse, there is also no way to make sure it will never happen again. Will you urge your members of Congress to release the unredacted CIA Torture Report to the public now?
