- Demand President Trump Tell His Attorney General "You're Fired" After Revelations He Lied During His Senate Confirmation Hearing
Following reporting from the Washington Post last night, a firestorm of criticism is being directed at U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions to either resign or at least recuse himself from any investigation into Russian meddling in last year's election- Call your member of Congress now and tell them you believe Sessions must either fully recuse himself from ongoing probes or resign
- Sign onto this campaign calling on Trump to tell Sessions "You're Fired"
- If you live in DC, a rapid-response protest has been organized for noon on Thursday (3/2) outside the Department of Justice (950 Penn Ave NW). More info/RSVP here.
- Tell Senate Minority Leader Sen. Chuck Schumer to #DropManchin from his Democratic Leadership position. Learn more ... Take action.
"If Schumer wants to show that he's with the resistance, he needs to remove Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV), a man who proudly gives Trump standing ovations, buddies up with Breitbart News, and votes for the Republican party's agenda of hate and corporate cronyism, from party leadership." - Continue organizing and planning for #DayWithoutAWoman -- Just six days away
On International Women's Day-- Wednesday, March 8th--women and their allies across the world will act together for equity, justice and the human rights of women and all gender-oppressed people, through a one-day demonstration of economic solidarity- Learn more on the Women's March website

An Unconstitutional Rampage
Trump and Musk are on an unconstitutional rampage, aiming for virtually every corner of the federal government. These two right-wing billionaires are targeting nurses, scientists, teachers, daycare providers, judges, veterans, air traffic controllers, and nuclear safety inspectors. No one is safe. The food stamps program, Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid are next. It’s an unprecedented disaster and a five-alarm fire, but there will be a reckoning. The people did not vote for this. The American people do not want this dystopian hellscape that hides behind claims of “efficiency.” Still, in reality, it is all a giveaway to corporate interests and the libertarian dreams of far-right oligarchs like Musk. Common Dreams is playing a vital role by reporting day and night on this orgy of corruption and greed, as well as what everyday people can do to organize and fight back. As a people-powered nonprofit news outlet, we cover issues the corporate media never will, but we can only continue with our readers’ support. |
