Here are things you can do daily to take action against the lawless political party that controls Congress.
   1. Call Rep. Randall and urge her to work to bring two new bills to the floor for a vote: H.R.1876, the "Keeping Our Field Offices Open Act" to put a moratorium on the closure of Social Security Field Offices for the rest of the Trump Administration and the "Protecting Americans Social Security Data Act" to block Elon Musk and his cronies access to sensitive beneficiary data and strengthen oversight and civil penalties for any privacy and disclosure violations of Social Security beneficiaries personal information. Both bills were introduced this month by Rep. John Larson (D-CT).
   2. Contact our senators and thank them for voting NO on H.R. 1968, the dirty "continuing resolution." Read Sen. Murray's statement on just how bad the dirty C.R. is. In explaining his reasons for voting for the dirty C.R., Schumer said he doesn't think we're in a constitutional crisis when it is so clear that we are. Tell our senators it's time to tell Chuck Schumer to step aside.
   3. Call our senators and urge them to vote NO on every nominee, such as Frank Bisignano who says he'll run the Social Security Administration "the right way", tariff-supporter Stephen Miran to chair the Council of Economic Advisors. He also supports Trump's view that the Federal Reserve should be under the control of the president. Vote NO on banker and Vance/Thiel buddy Michael Kratsios as Director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy and Science Advisor to the President. Vote NO on Mark Meador to head the Federal Trade Commission. Despite Schumer's reluctance to do so, our senators should slow down the process of confirming Trump's nominees. They should put holds on all of the remaining nominees (there are plenty to go). They should vote NO on all nominees, reject every unanimous consent request, vote NO on all cloture votes, vote NO on motions to proceed. Vote NO on any procedural vote and demand quorum calls at every possible opportunity. Our senators must not be complicit in hollowing out our democracy.
   4. Call our senators and demand an in-person Town Hall or at the very least a Zoom Town Hall ASAP! The senators have been on recess since March 15.
   5. Call our senators and urge them to vote NO on H.R. 77, aka "The Midnight Rules Relief Act." As the Congressional Review Act is currently written, if the majority of the House and Senate vote to override a regulation put in place by the executive branch after the "lookback" date (currently August 1, 2024), that regulation is overriden. The Midnight Rules Relief Act would allow all the regulations to which the controlling party in Congress objects to be combined into a single joint resolution, thereby making it easier to override regulations. In this case, the Midnight Rules Relief Act would make it easy for the GOP to override 1,400 regulations put in place by the Biden administration. Learn more here. Thank Rep. Randall for voting NO on H.R.77, which passed the House narrowly by a vote of 212 to 208 on Feb. 12. Learn more here.
   6. Call Rep. Randall and remind her to vote NO on the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act. Mike Johnson is likely to try to move this bill soon. This legislation is the most anti-democratic legislation the GOP has yet to devise. It would require U.S. citizens to provide in person a valid state-issued birth certificate (minimum $32) or a passport ($195 plus cost of photos, also requires a state-issued birth certificate) in order to register to vote or update your voter registration if, for example, you move. It is not clear how the bill would impact voters who are already registered, but with the GOP, the sky's the limit. This bill passed the House last year but was not brought up by the Senate because it was controlled by Democrats, but that is no more. Read "Married Women Could Be Stopped From Voting Under SAVE Act".
