1.Trump Attempts to Fire Mueller
The New York Times reported that last June, Trump ordered the firing of special counsel Robert Mueller. Mueller was appointed by deputy attorney general Rod Rosenstein in May to oversee the Russia investigation. The nation was spared a constitutional crisis because Trump did not want to terminate Mueller himself. Instead, he ordered White House counsel, Donald McGahn to do it. McGahn refused, saying he would quit instead.

2. A Plan for Dreamers
Yesterday, Trump presented a plan to offer approximately 1.8 million “Dreamers” a 12 year path to citizenship. This is twice as many young immigrants than were originally enrolled in the deferred action program that Trump terminated in September. In exchange, Trump wants $25 Billion for a border wall and security, and a reduction in “chain migration” by limiting family green cards to only spouses and children of US citizens. Trump has also proposed ending a diversity visa lottery that awards about 50, 000 green cards annually to people from countries with low immigration rates (including many African nations).

Continue to call your members of Congress and encourage them to keep working for a clean solution for the Dreamers.
3. Trump Judicial Nominees
Someday, Trump will be gone but his fingerprints will be seen in the Judiciary for decades to come. Soon, the Senate will vote on lifetime appointments for 17 (!) Trump judicial nominees to the federal courts. Here are five of the worst. Call our senators today and tell them to vote against the following nominees:
