Wednesday, March 1
—Trump gave a speech last night. Dummies thought he sounded “presidential.” He was, and is, a racist clown. Martin Heinrich thinks that, so I signed his petition to oppose Trump’s bullshit agenda.
—Wrote to Senator Susan Collins, basically calling her out for assuring us that Jeff Sessions—despite a long and documented history of racism and opposing voting rights—would, you know, not be racist and stand up for voting rights. Oh, it was also revealed tonight that Sessions lied to Congress about the fact that he—wait for it—was in contact with the Russians on Trump’s behalf.
—Trump and his greedheads want to scuttle net neutrality. CREDO action petition.

—Plus NARAL.
—And another one.

—Tammy Baldwin agrees. And she would know.

—Patty Murray is also against the Republican’s poor-person-murdering healthcare proposal.
Friday, March 10

—Trump and his loot-minded cronies want to destroy the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Shocker.

—NRDC petition against the fact that Republicans loooove to gerrymander voting districts along racial lines because they know their shit ideas can’t keep them in power any other way.

—Someone put together this incredibly helpful, one-click spreadsheet that allows you to message GOP reps with exactly how many of their constituents (or “voters” if that’s all they recognize) will lose coverage under the grotesquely greedy and cruel Trumpcare.

Which no doubt means he’s studying very carefully and wrestling with his soul and not that he’s, as is his wont, ducking all controversy like a little babyman until he can scuffy out and hope his unpopular vote will get lost in the overall din. It won’t.
—Tom Udall’s petition against the GOP deathmurder plan.

—Spent all morning tweeting at GOP hacks on the fence, including Maine’s Bruce Poliquin, who never, ever declared a position. That’s his thing. He is a spineless nothing of a congressman.

—Hey, let’s boycott companies that do business with Scumbag, Incorporated.
—Twitter

—Care2 petition to save PBS. From the biggest to the smallest issues, I genuinely hate Dipshit and his dipshits.
