Contact your members of Congress about the illegal impoundment of grants and contracts by President Trump - many of which will impact nonprofit organizations providing emergency relief, educational programs and health and human services.

Musk's foundation has failed to donate the required 5% of its assets per year for the last three years. Last year that was over $400 million that wasn't donated.

Private foundations must donate 5 percent of their assets every year. Elon Musk’s enormous charity missed that standard for three consecutive years.

Trump is slipping farther and farther below 50%. He now leads by only 1.6%—and his vote advantage is under 2.5M. One of the narrower victories of the last 100 years of American politics, and any journalist or politico using the term mandate probably needs to retire from their profession immediately.

This is an echo of the general election. The trans Democrat is blamed for "sparking" the crisis despite the fact she did nothing beyond be herself. Before she arrived to DC, or made any demands, the GOP preemptively turned her identity into a political issue. So, who is doing identity politics?

A lot of folks are giving up in advance. Capitulating before a single skirmish. Well, not this old warrior. I’ve seen much worse from the U.S. government in my day. I’m concerned for our country, but not a bit scared of these miscreants. I’m ready to do my part. Who’s with me?

Trump is obviously trying to kill the institutions that serve millions of Americans and families. In no way can you see any of these people capable doing the job running these agencies that are defined and required *by congressional mandate*. Write to your Senators today and demand they deny them
