A summary of the Alabama bill on abortion that is not yet law, call Governor Ivey and urge her not to sign: 334 242-7100
We're on the verge of war with Iran
WH counsel has sent a letter to Nadler saying they won't comply with any request from the Congress whatsover; this is essentially a claim that the President is above the law-- what's next
Nadler states that he is about to start levying extremely heavy fines for those who don't comply with Congressional subpoenas
the VP, the Senate Majority Leader and the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court are all on a plane today; my thoughts
Negotiatings subpoenas is normal, even if we're not happy that Junior did it; he will testify in compliance with the subpoena issued to him by the Senate
The President's businesses are tanking; why this matters to whether he'll serve out his term
*And lastly: no more excuses; lives are on the line; we are the people we've been waiting for; use your voice and your will and your spirit and your body for change like you never have before
