Day 263:

Its the Bush years all over again, but worse

The oscillation are getting more severe, the greed and avarice are flying even further and father afield, the disc of our democracy is straining under the load. The only way to get this whole thing back to a manageable state is to act!

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

Monitor your congressperson:

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)
