“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.” -Margaret Meade
So proud of all of you who were able to show up and peacefully protest Trump’s visit and hate rally yesterday. Yesterday was a great day for democracy and standing up to hate.
Last night at Trump’s rally he spent over a hundred minutes railing against his critics, attacking Somali refugees, showing how unfit he is to serve this country, and vowing to win and flip Minnesota to red in 2020. He only lost this state by 1.5% in 2016 and spent $30-$40k. Tens of millions of dollars are moving into this state to try and flip it. And the Minnesota DFL doesn’t take money from foreign interests! We need to raise the alarm and organize hard for the 2020 elections.
If not electing jerks is important to you, and if you’re able to give, you can donate here.
Everyday more and more corruption is coming to light about Trump’s dealings with Ukraine and Russia. Our representatives need to continue to hear that we support this impeachment inquiry. Trump only serves himself, not this country.
“Federal prosecutors on Thursday charged two associates of President Donald Trump's personal attorney Rudy Giuliani with a sprawling scheme to oust the former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine by funneling foreign money into the campaign coffers of Trump and an unnamed congressman believed to be former Republican Rep. Pete Sessions.”
“"These allegations are not about some technicality, a civil violation, or some error on a form. This investigation is about corrupt behavior, deliberate lawbreaking," William Sweeney, assistant director in charge at the FBI's New York field office, said Thursday during a press conference detailing campaign finance charges against Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman.”
“The two men were arrested Wednesday evening at Dulles International Airport in Washington, D.C. as they were waiting to board a one-way flight to Frankfurt, Germany.”
“U.S. Ambassador to the European Union Gordon Sondland is expected to testify next Wednesday before the House committees investigating President Trump and Ukraine, despite being blocked by the State Department from appearing at a closed-door deposition this week, 4 congressional sources tell Axios.”
“Fiona Hill, who was until recently President Donald Trump’s top aide on Russia and Europe, plans to tell Congress that Rudy Giuliani and E.U. ambassador Gordon Sondland circumvented the National Security Council and the normal White House process to pursue a shadow policy on Ukraine, a person familiar with her expected testimony told NBC News.”
“The KRG released a statement on Tuesday noting it was "deeply concerned by the United States' decision to withdraw from the safe zone in northeastern Syria." It warned that the imminent offensive would "undermine the progress made against ISIS, including jeopardising the secure detention of terrorist fighters."”
Senator Klobuchar needs to know that Steven Menashi is a big fat no for a lifetime seat on the federal bench. They will be voting on him soon.
“Steven Menashi, President Donald Trump’s judicial nominee for the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, began his writing career at the Dartmouth Review, the campus conservative publication that incubated professional trolls such as Laura Ingraham and Dinesh D’Souza. Menashi used this platform to denounce LGBTQ rights groups, mock “Take Back The Night” marches protesting campus rape, and defend a fraternity that threw a “ghetto party.””
