The League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC} is suing the Trump administration for its sweeping executive order that aims to overhaul U.S. elections, including requiring proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote in federal elections. It argues that the order “is an attack on the constitutionally mandated checks and balances that keep American elections free and fair” and would “make it far more difficult for eligible U.S. citizens to exercise their fundamental right to vote.” Please consider a donation to the LULAC Legal Defense Fund to support their work.

Stop Trump’s One Big Ugly Bill before it’s too late!
|
The bill that passed the House by one vote would be the largest-ever transfer of wealth from poor to rich, young people and future generations to old. It’s an immoral, counterproductive plan that betrays our children and grandchildren to further enrich the very richest.
Contact voters in states with vulnerable GOP Senators: Help them call their senator to demand they oppose the One Big Ugly Bill. The OBUB just passed the House, stripping working families of $1.5 trillion in Medicaid, SNAP, and other essential programs—all to pay for more than $4.5 trillion in tax breaks for the super-rich.
|
The bill still has to pass in the Senate, so we need to turn up the heat there. If the Senate makes any changes to the bill — and they almost certainly will — that new version of the bill goes back to the House for a final vote. This gives us more opportunities to delay, disrupt, and defeat Trump’s scheme to plunder the country for the billionaires.
Join Indivisible every Wednesday and Thursday in June to call voters in the Senate target states: Maine, North Carolina, Ohio, Utah. We’ll connect them directly to their Senator’s office to demand they oppose the Republican tax and spending scam bill.

Trump ambushes South African president with false claims of “white genocide.”
|
“South African President Cyril Ramaphosa and his delegation watched in stunned silence at footage that Trump believed supported his [ludicrous, debunked] claims.…” —Time
Ramaphosa’s efforts to appeal to Trump’s simple-minded worldview — including bringing white South African golfers along and presenting a book of photos of South African golf courses — were unsuccessful. Acknowledging the embarrassing truth about Trump, he ruefully joked, “I’m sorry I don’t have a plane to give you.” “I wish you did,” answered the most corrupt US president in history. “I’d take it.”
As Shawn McCreesh observed in the NYT, “It has been said that the best jokes are dangerous because they are in some way truthful.…Yes, the man who sits in the gold-colored office likes his golden gifts.”
