Indivisibles,
We’re only ten days away from a crucial federal funding deadline, and
Republicans appear fully committed to shutting down the government rather
than doing anything at all to restore constitutional checks on Trump’s
authoritarian power-grabs or stop his massive healthcare cuts.
Democratic leaders have [ [link removed] ]pledged not to vote for a partisan funding deal
that continues Trump’s healthcare cuts. But any deal to protect healthcare
must also stop the Trump regime’s illegal misuse and weaponization of
government funding and resources -- and some Senate Democrats still seem
willing to surrender.
Back in March, Democrats caved, giving Republicans the votes needed to
fund Trump’s chaos and cruelty. They cannot do so again. Not after they’ve
seen how those taxpayer dollars have been used to crack down on dissent,
militarize our cities, and terrorize our communities.
This time, Democrats need to show Trump and the American people that
they’re willing to fight with all they’ve got for our democracy and our
lives. That’s where our pressure comes in. In this pivotal moment, there
are two things we need to make loud and clear:
Democrats need to know we expect them to fight like hell against any
funding bill that enables Trump’s healthcare cuts or hands him a blank
check to continue his lawless power-grab.
[ [link removed] ]Email your Democratic senator(s) now! Demand that Dems keep calling
on Schumer to ensure Trump isn’t handed blank checks.

Republicans need to know they will OWN the Trump Shutdown if they refuse
to work on a bipartisan funding agreement. They control both the House
and the Senate, so it’s on them to keep the government open.
[ [link removed] ]Email your GOP senator(s) now! Demand that they commit to a
bipartisan funding process -- or face the consequences of causing a
Trump Shutdown.
[ [link removed] ]Email Republicans now >>
Trump’s attacks on peaceful dissenters and political opponents are growing
bolder and more dangerous -- suing media organizations, bullying networks
into taking comedians off the air, deploying troops to cities, extorting
law firms, and weaponizing the federal government.
These lawless abuses of power have only grown greater since Chuck Schumer
and nine weak-willed Democrats* caved to Trump’s demands at the last
funding deadline. Freely ceding power does not protect us from a tyrant;
it only invites him to grow even more lawless.
Democrats need to stand strong at this moment. No blank checks. No
healthcare cuts. No more chaos and lawlessness.
Please email your senators today. Any funding deal that continues
Republican healthcare cuts or hands Trump a blank check must not pass.

Democrats have real leverage in this fight, and the Republicans who
control both chambers are the ones responsible for passing a bipartisan
funding bill. They must all hear us and be held accountable.
In solidarity,
