"A day before Jackson Hole begins.
Yet another attack on a Fed gov.
Regardless of the official theme of this year's conference, attacks on an indep Fed will be the real, unofficial theme."

The #DOJ is supposed to protect Americans, not attack "enemies" of Trump.
*Our country's lawyers must always act on behalf of our country, not the pres. The “interests & overall policy of the US” are set by the #Constitution & by the statutes Congress approves...

Healthcare is a human right: Support H.R. 4406 and S. 2286
Dear Congressman,
I support HB4406/SB2286 and strongly urge you to support it as well. Healthcare reform is important in this country because everyone has the right to live a healthy life and that shouldn’t be reserved for just the wealthy elite. I have seen many people deny rides in ambulances or refuse to go to the hospital when it is obvious they should, solely because the cost of those trips would be too high and they can’t afford it even if they have private insurance. A person’s […]
It's the Constitution, stupid!
The ruling keeps unfair #labor practice cases against #SpaceX & 2 other companies, #EnergyTransfer & #Findhelp, on hold while the companies pursue their claim that the #NLRB structure violates the US #Constitution. While the court did declare it unlawful, this is far from a settled issue & the NLRB is undoubtedly likely to challenge the ruling.
The new #policy on "anti-Americanism" comes days after the #Trump admin tightened standards for #naturalization, moving away from a standard where the required "good moral character" is shown by an absence of disqualifying offenses to a rule where applicants must prove they are "worthy" of #citizenship.
The full #policy memo is here. The #Trump administration says that it will use its discretion to deny immigration #benefits to anyone it deems to have supported a group with "anti-American ideologies" or engaged in "anti-American activities."

#McCarthyism returns to #immigration #law, as #USCIS announces that it will begin screening applicants for immigration benefits for "Anti-America ideologies or activities." The term has no prior precedent in immigration law & its definition is entirely up to the #Trump admin.

Oppose the SCREEN Act (S. 737) – Protect Privacy and Free Expression
Dear Congressman,
I am strongly opposed to SB737 and HB1623 the SCREEN Act. I know the intent of this act is to protect minors online, but this bill will interfere with the privacy of every citizen in this country. This act will become a massive online data collection bill for big tech and the government. And that goes against our basic right to privacy.
This bill’s mandated or “technology verification measures” will necessitate the collection of sensitive personal data from all […]

A quotation from Wendell Berry
It is impossible to think that constitutional government can be suspended in a time of danger, in deference to the greater “efficiency” of centralized power, and then easily or quickly restored. Efficiency may be a political virtue, but only if strictly limited. Our Constitution, by its separation of powers and its system of checks and balances, acts as a restraint upon efficiency by denying exclusive power to any branch of government. The logic of governmental efficiency, unchecked, runs straight on, not only to dictatorship, but also to torture, assassination, and other abominations.
Wendell Berry (b. 1934) American farmer, educator, poet, conservationist

Ignoring the law and the #Constitution, #Trump wants to seize control of #elections before 2026. He wants to make the #2026midterms as fair as Russian elections. https://www.commondreams.org/news/trump-mail-in-voting-ban
#Trump argued in his post that #states were “merely an agent’ for the #FederalGovernment in counting & tabulating the votes.” [he is so unbelievably ignorant]
“They must do what the Federal Government, as represented by the President of the United States, tells them,” Trump said. [whatever happened to the #StatesRights party?]
Regarding the President’s Fascist Actions and Your Duty to Act
Dear Congressman,
We are going through an unprecedented time. The foundations of our great democracy are being eroded right in front of our eyes. Mr. Trump’s actions demonstrate a pattern of authoritarian and anti-democratic behavior that threatens the rule of law, constitutional checks and balances, and the rights of citizens. These acts must be condemned and resisted by those who believe in a free and just society.

"President Trumpis threatening an unconstitutional takeover of state elections by executive order. "They must do what the Fed Govt, as represented by the President of the USs, tells them," Trump says, calling for an end to vote-by-mail."

Trump is counting on "his" #SCOTUS to overrule the #Constitution. He's parroting Putin, who told him at their meeting in AS, that the 2020 election was stolen from him because of vote by mail.
