In his very first speech upon winning the Speakership, Mike Johnson (R-LA) called for the ‘immediate’ creation of a fast-tracked commission that could take Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid behind closed doors and cut them. Without a special, secret commission, these politicians would have to make their policies known, and voters could make informed choices about who they want representing them in Washington. Send a message to Congress: We know that a vote for a ‘fiscal commission’ is a vote to cut Social Security and Medicare!

The Constitution of the United States does NOT give the president — not Donald Trump, not anyone — absolute criminal immunity for murder. The fact that Donald Trump thinks it does, and that he had a lawyer say that on his behalf on the record in a court of law, is all the more evidence that he must be held accountable for his crimes against the American people and our democracy.
