Dear MoveOn member,
This is Senator Chris Murphy of Connecticut—a longtime friend of MoveOn and fellow MoveOn member. I am skipping President Trump's speech to Congress tomorrow night—and with my friends at MoveOn, I have a better Tuesday in mind.
Would you join me Tuesday evening at MoveOn.org/TrumpBS as we cut through Trump's lies and bullshit with a special event during his address to Congress?
Look, I get it: You may just decide to skip the speech entirely. Honestly, for our collective mental health, we'd be better off watching reruns of "30 Rock."
But for the many of us who can't help but tune in, we wanted to provide an alternative. Instead of listening to Trump ramble through his lies, fearmongering, and gloating, we'll offer our own commentary in real time: a mix of fact-checking and, most importantly, opportunities to take action against Trump and Elon's billionaire takeover ... and, yes, some good old-fashioned snark.
For the 30 minutes before the speech, we'll have a live conversation with lawmakers, advocates, commentators, and comedians—to lift up our spirits, lift up the stakes of what's happening in this country, and lift up compelling ways all of us can mobilize and organize the opposition.
Then during the speech itself, we'll kick off a real-time, rapid-response chatroom. You'll still be able to hear his speech (sorry) while reading our reactions and rebuttals along the way. With 10 or 20 of us commenting together, it should be robust and entertaining, giving you a dynamic way to cut through his bullshit, give opportunities to take action, and maybe even a reason to smile.
So RSVP to join a growing list of special guests, including Senators Brian Schatz, and Ed Markey, Governor Matt Meyer, Michigan Lt. Governor Garlin Gilchrist II, Akilah Hughes, Wajahat Ali, Jay Willis, Lauren Bishop, Michael Ian Black, @GoldenGateBlond ... and more!
RSVP now, and we'll see you Tuesday evening at MoveOn.org/TrumpBS.
A presidential address to Congress is usually something you don’t want to miss. But as Trump and Musk steal from us to enrich themselves and as the Republicans in both houses of Congress go along with it, I can't sit there and pretend this is business as usual. There are many, many ways we need to work together, support each other, advocate, and fight in the months ahead. That's exactly what we're going to plan together on Tuesday. And along the way, we need the community and camaraderie of one another.
Join us on Tuesday at MoveOn.org/TrumpBS—and in the work ahead.
Every best wish,
– Chris Murphy
