What are the possible paths to normality? A few Senators and Representatives could stop Trump by simply repudiating their party. Fellow members of Congress would need to be on the front line in any effort to help colleagues switch to Independent. Call yours today!

Dear governors, senators, members of Congress, secretaries of state and attorneys general of Washington, Oregon, and California, it is the time, right now, to face the enemy. It’s going to get nasty.

Last year, Nike made $23 billion. Its founder is worth $35 billion. But Nike pays just dollars a day to the workers who make its products. Today I met Dinar, who sews 222 labels an hour onto Nike products. She is paid $202 a month. This is corporate greed at its worst.

Raskin: This is a gangster state. This is not basically a legitimate government that is sometimes doing corrupt things. This is an essentially corrupt enterprise. It's like watching The Sopranos. Every day, they get up and they try to figure out how to plunder and pillage the people

French Senator Claude Malhuret: "Washington has become Nero’s court, with an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a jester high on ketamine... We were at war with a dictator, we are now at war with a dictator backed by a traitor."

Bernie is right. No more playing dead. No more running to the center. Sincerely, Someone who has watched you do this after every election loss the past 50 years.

No. Now is not the time to play dead. The Democrats have already played dead for too many years. 60% of our people are living paycheck to paycheck. Millions of seniors are going hungry. Now is the time to stand up for the working class of this country.

Two or three Congressional Republicans with a bit of courage could switch their party affiliation to independent and save the Constitution. We would put their pictures on our money and name high schools after them.
