Day 275:

Indictment day!

Paul Manafort and his former business associate Rick Gates were told to surrender to federal authorities Monday morning, the first charges in a special counsel investigation, according to a person involved in the case.

A significant escalation in a special counsel investigation that has cast a shadow over the president’s first year in office.

This is not normal, this is not ok.

There is probably someone horrible you could be voting out of office right now!

Calling your government representative:

You can also use 5Calls.org if you are having a hard time figuring out what to say.

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.

Elections!

Also be sure to keep track if you live in a district with an upcoming flip-able seat (flip to the left that is)
