Trump Watch:
————————
Sean Spicer: Lobbyists Deserve Privacy When Visiting the White House. In case you didn’t understand who the administration thinks they work for. Its the big money, not you.
Trump has spent one out of every five minutes of his presidency in Palm Beach
———————-
Spicer: Trump won’t release taxes because of audit. Trump also thinks you’re a bunch of idiots, and wont release his taxes because it proves he is a criminal.
Trump claims immunity as President in lawsuit. Isn’t this the same excuse Nixon used?

Voting machines stolen pre-Georgia special election: report. The GOP seems to be getting desperate in Georgia…could it be that Bernie Sanders style democratic campaigns are actually showing that they can challenge DEEP red districts…I think it is.

Trump called Turkey’s Erdogan to congratulate him on referendum win: Turkish sources. Is he too stupid to understand that what is happening in Turkey is a political coup from a dictator? Or is he trying to join the club?

Melania Trump hosted a private Easter Egg Roll exclusively for the rich and powerful. All hail our new royalty, the rich.

Trump is making the GOP (more) unpopular.
The Republican Party has almost nothing to offer the average voter. Large majorities of Americans believe that abortion should be legal in most cases; taxes on the rich should not be cut; undocumented immigrants should be given a path to legalization; the environment should be prioritized over energy production; and the government should spend more money on Medicaid.

Tools of change:
Feel like this is all a bunch of bullshit? Want to do something about it?
Calling your government representative:
Call your Senator
Call your House Rep (Or use this spreadsheet)
Call your Governor
Call your Attorney General
Or try this website
Fax Congress here (free!)
You can also use 5Calls.org if you are having a hard time figuring out what to say.
Tell them in no uncertain terms that you want them to fight to stop Trump from doing these things. Tell them you will be watching them closely on how they vote, and will hold them accountable during the next election if they cave to Trump. You can also call other states congress people and threaten to donate to their opponent if they don’t do what you want.
Phone Bank for Progressive Candidates:
Call the White House:
202-456-1111
Call the “White House”:
Use this website to call one of Trump’s many properties he has not put into a blind trust yet, and let them know how you feel (be polite, they are workers just like us, but be firm).
Do a little Slacktivism:
Send Some Text Messages for progressive causes (I know it says textforbernie, but its for a range of progressive candidates) Or you can have your texts turned into faxes by the ResistBot
Go to a town hall and talk to your congress person in person:
Check when the next town hall is here
Monitor your congressperson:
Keep track of how your senator is voting on cabinet picks here, so you can call them up and give them hell if they vote for any of these worthless fuckers.
See how your elected representatives are voting for or against Trump.
Also be sure to keep track if you live in a district with an upcoming flip-able seat (flip to the left that is)
