If and when Trump’s rescission package reaches Congress, you must vote NO and use all your powers to stop it. DOGE’s USAID cuts, and potentila PBS and NPR cuts, cannot be made legal.
Background
The White House was going to ask for a rescission package which would make the DOGE cuts to USAID legal and was also asking for cuts to NPR and PBS.
The original request was supposed to be made on Monday, April 28. However, over the weekend, the White House said they may be delaying the request for the Rescission Package.
The purpose of the rescission package is to eliminate funding that Congress has already approved. It would make Trump’s dismantling of USAID legal, and would invalidate lawsuits against the staff layoffs at USAID.
Simple majorities in both Houses are needed for the bill to pass, so if and when it arrives to Congress, it will be hard to stop. But our Members of Congress must still vote NO and use their procedural power to stop this bill.

The section 702 of FISA (foreign intelligence surveillance act) was passed in 2008 as a counterterrorism measure, but it has a long history abuse because it. Tell Congress to reject reauthorization until it gets reformed!
Over the course of several days, Trump has made repeated, unequivocal threats to commit war crimes. Tell Congress to do its job and hold the executive branch to account!
Our Senators are standing with us.
Congress must hold the Trump/MAGA regime in check, and that includes defending broadcasters’ right to report the news and commentators’ opinions freely and our right to be well informed
Members of Congress must use every lever in their toolbox: from immediate oversight to investigating all the possible corruption the abrupt decision to wage war on Iran to hold this administration accountable and putting an immediate stop to this war. We need to let Congress know we won’t accept anything less.

The manipulatively titled “Stop the Sexualization of Children Act” proposes legislation to withhold federal funding if schools do not comply with the government’s opinion of what children should or should not be allowed to read. Tell Your Representatives: Vote NO on a National Book Ban!
