Thursday Call to Action
1. While you were sleeping our congressmen and women were up all night busily whittling away at what was already the terrible American Health Care Act. Rumor has it they created loopholes and limits that will give insurance companies the ability to deny you coverage. According to CNN, as of 1 a.m. they had not reached a decision. What happens today is anyone's guess. The vote was scheduled for 7 p.m. tonight. There is still time to call your representative and make a fuss (Lewis, Emmer, Paulsen). Feel free to send out a tweet. If you add @IndivisibleMN I will retweet you.

2. The plot thickens...and thickens...and thickens.
It turns out, Paul Manafort, Donald Trump's original campaign manager and all around bad dude was paid by a Putin aid to benefit Putin's government in America. Great reporting by the AP:

If that wasn't enough, yesterday afternoon Rep. Devin Nunes held two impromptu press conferences to report that intelligence communities had collected intelligence on Trump associates. What?! Read about it here:

The take away from this is that some serious misdeeds have occurred vis-a-vis Donald Trump and Russia. The head of the Committee on Intelligence is compromised. We must demand an independent investigation on this matter if we ever expect to get to the bottom of it.
Call your representative and tell them so.

3. In light of the chaos above, this is not an appropriate time to be selecting a Supreme Court justice. Tell our senators that Neil Gorsuch's hearing should stop immediately.
