Today’s Action: Stop Trump’s Wall and #DefundHate
We are five days from a government shutdown, thanks to Trump’s Hail Mary insistence on a $5 billion border wall in the upcoming funding bill. And while Trump has gloated that he would be proud to shut down 800,000 government jobs and most federal services over his premiere xenophobic project, even Republicans are beginning to turn against their leader.
Congress has until December 21 to pass a funding bill. While the Republican-controlled House approved a wall budget of $5 billion, Senate Democrats held their version of the bill at $1.6 billion (which is $1.6 billion too much, and we’ll work on that). But with a Democratic-controlled House arriving on January 3rd and lame duck Republicans refusing to show up for work, Democrats now have more leverage to block Trump’s embodiment of xenophobia and hatred.
We’re about to enter a new era in the Trump presidency, in which he doesn’t get to bully Congress into everything he wants. We made our feelings clear at the polls, and it’s now time for Republicans in Congress to understand the shift that has occurred and for Democrats to use their upcoming majority for righting the wrongs of the past two years.
But we shouldn’t wait until January 3rd, because time is not on Trump’s side right now — jump on the phones today to #DefundHate.
PS — Please don’t forget to sign the petition calling for the immediate end to Trump’s indefinite detention of CHILDREN at the Texas-Mexico border, and check out the brilliant “Don’t Think of an Elephant” by George Lakoff — a quick read that contains the ultimate keys for Democrats to win elections — and arguments.
