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. Click to add your name now if you agree.

Bernie wants to know how you think things are going, and will publish as many as he can in an upcoming email.

Project 2025back to topNew!

MAGA’s plan to install Christian Nationalism as the law of the land, dubbed Project 2025, is the terrifying end game we are fighting desperately to prevent in this election. Politico’s Alexander Ward and Heidi Przybyla wrote a great piece documenting how Trump plans to “infuse Christian nationalist ideas in his administration” if he’s elected president again. Here’s how you can help.

  1. Check out StopTheCoup
  2. Sign up to defend democracy from Trump with Project 2024: Majority Over MAGA.
  3. Call your senator and demand they protect IVF access nationwide.
  4. If your representative is a Democrat, demand they oppose all extreme MAGA policy riders.
  5. If you have a Democratic senator (or two!), demand they oppose all extreme MAGA policy riders.
  6. Write an LTE about the MAGA plan to privatize Medicare using our easy tool.
