US Senate
The Trump regime is pushing a bill through Congress that will rescind previously-appropriated funding from a number of important services, including public broadcasting (NPR and PBS) and foreign aid. These services have already received steep cuts in the recently-passed MAGA Murder Budget for next fiscal year; the rescission bill will take away funding they’ve already received.
Tell your Members of Congress to investigate Palantir’s secretive activities collaborating with Trump’s deportation efforts
Our Members of Congress—especially Senator Padilla, the ranking member on the committee that oversees ICE—need to use their powers to the fullest to limit the worst of what is already a campaign of brutality and which will surely get worse over the next three years.
