Federal Legislation

Was it ONLY 100 days? Here is a great article, divided by topic, from NPR on what the Trump administration did during the first 100 days.

The good news is that Trump’s approval rating is the lowest for any president in the past seven decades.

Tell your Republican Representative - You Don’t Want To Pay The Price For Their Billionaire Tax Breaks

Republicans want to slash Medicaid, SNAP, early education, and other vital programs that working families rely on all to pay for tax cuts to billionaires like Elon Musk. They would do this with a process known as budget reconciliation which would allow this bill to pass with Republican votes only. 

Call your Republican representatives now and tell them you do NOT want to pay for billionaires’ tax breaks and to keep these vital programs that are needed for us to survive! 

Or, fill out this form with your address and you’ll be connected with your Republican representative.

Free Kilmar Abrego Garcia

Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an immigrant who escaped threats of violence from gang members in El Salvador, was living in Maryland with his wife and kids. A few years back, an immigration judge granted him protection from deportation. But over a month ago, he was taken by ICE agents under the Trump administration and deported to a prison in El Salvador without due process — including being denied a fair and impartial hearing or trial to determine whether he was guilty of any gang-related activity. Immigration officials admitted it was an “administrative error” but refused to bring him back. 

Sadly, Kilmar isn’t the only immigrant kidnapped by the administration without receiving due process of the law.

Contact your members of Congress and demand that they do everything they can to end these unconstitutional disappearances and bring Kilmar and others back home.
