Trump’s Terrible Tyranny:
More members of Trump’s cabinet have been implicated in the Russian scandal. Jeff Sessions perjured himself when he failed to say that he had contact with the Russians during the Trump campaign. By Sessions’ own standards he should be removed from office.

Can we just for moment however remember that even if they had nothing to do with Russia, they all still have done plenty of other things that we should remove them from office for, in many cases jail them. Russia is becoming the distraction by which these idiots actually mask the rest of their nefarious doings. Tax breaks for the rich, taking away healthcare, destroying the EPA and environment, breaking our public school system, keeping Trumps taxes secret, supporting private prisons, sending our soldiers to their death frivolously, the war on drugs black people, personally enriching themselves, and inspiring racists these are much easier to prove, and the press should be giving them all equal billing.

Canada is melting, massive methane release could make it melt faster. Trump must be convinced that the EPA is more than a budget item to be cut.

Something strange is happening with Lindsay Grahm….he wants to require people to release their tax returns if they want to run for office. He is certainly not alone, or the first. And I think that he is motivated by his hatred of Trump, but still way to go Lindsay.

Military Officers are resisting Trump’s attempt to be the arbiter of patriotism. Many presidents have hidden behind dead soldiers to make themselves look better. But what Trump did with that poor woman, and her dead soldier was disgusting.

Bernie should have been president, and maybe one day he will be, but in the mean time he is busy helping the American people. He will join the Nissan march to help auto workers get a union.

The movement to divest from DAPL continues! With the latest being an investment firm removing more than 30 million dollars! If you have money in a 401k or other investment that is in DAPL or other pipeline projects PULL IT OUT!

Meanwhile in China, coal use is down and solar is up 82%. Call your senator and tell them this. Tell them you don’t want to be left behind as the rest of the world moves to clean cheap renewable energy. We can’t be left behind as the rest of the world modernizes its energy system while we sit here being run by big carbon.

They can’t stop all of us, lets flood Ron Jonson’s office with calls letting him know we want him to have a town hall meeting with his constituents.
Senator Ron Johnson [R-WI/Twitter/email/DC office (202) 224-5323] is one of the many Republican lawmakers who’ve chosen not to meet with their own constituents during the Congressional recess; Earl Good, a Vietnam veteran and Milwaukee constituent who called Johnson’s office hundreds of times because the Senator won’t meet with the people he represents has now been sent a cease-and-desist letter threatening legal retaliation if he doesn’t stop contacting his elected official.
Dear Mr. Good:
This Cease and Desist letter is to inform you that any further communication from you to U.S. Senator Ron Johnson’s office can only be done in writing. This means that you are not to call or visit any of Senator Johnson’s staff or any of his offices at any time. Our office has done all that we can to assist you with your concerns. This letter acts as written notice of our expectation for you to discontinue your unwarranted telephone calls and office visits. If you fail to comply with this notice, then we will have no other alternative but to contact the United States Capitol Police and report your noncompliance.
Sincerely,
Staff
Ron Johnson’s staff U.S. Senate
