Although Trump won’t be sworn in until January 20, he’s already begun nominating incompetent, unqualified, and dangerous sycophants for senior administration positions who will carry out his threats to destroy federal agencies, deport many millions, subvert climate change initiatives, and go after his enemies. Since the incoming Senate is unlikely to buck Trump, Senate Democrats must take advantage of their present control by immediately holding hearings on these nominees’ fitness to hold office to demonstrate to us all how dangerous they’ll be to our health and wellbeing and to our democracy’s survival.

Our democracy is under threat. But we will not yield to fascism. We will stand together and we'll fight back in defense of our rights, our communities, and our values. We can take impactful action right now: we can strengthen our court system for the battles ahead. We’re calling on our Senators to confirm every judicial vacancy before the Republicans take control.

We have worked hard fighting the MAGA agenda to protect our freedom, defend our democracy, and enshrine unity, dignity, and opportunity. We stand united against hatred, division, racism, misogyny, court corruption, and burgeoning fascism. Let us keep calm through the inevitable GOP mischief to come and await a glorious celebration together on Inauguration Day.

The Supreme Court is on the ballot in this election, as is the future of our democracy. To prevent MAGA Republicans from controlling SCOTUS for the next 40 years and Trump from using Project 2025 to turn America into a fascist country and to ensure the peaceful transfer of power, voters must elect Kamala Harris and give Democrats majorities in Congress. Our members of Congress must push this message repeatedly between now and November 5.

Hurricanes Helene and Milton have devastated six states leaving the lives of hundreds of thousands upended. While Trump’s tried to spread hateful lies about the federal response, the Biden-Harris administration’s allocated $2+ billion and dispatched 8500+ federal workers  to help affected residents, Congress cannot wait until mid-November to provide necessary funding.

Given the unpopularity of MAGA Republican policies, their only way to win in November is by making voting difficult, or even impossible, for people they believe will vote Democratic. To prevent last minute voter purges from succeeding, voters need to be alerted to check their registration status immediately, so they can reregister in time to vote in this most important election of our lifetime. 

With emergency crews only just beginning to address the astronomical damage caused by tropical storm Helene, the next devastating storm is already on the way. And the worst storm to come? Trump’s Project 2025 in November unless we defeat it together.

Our Postal Service will never be safe as long as Louis DeJoy, Trump’s mega-donor choice, remains Postmaster General. To ensure that mail voting remains a secure, reliable option for millions of voters and to protect the integrity of this election, the Senate must immediately confirm Marty Welch and Val Demings to the Postal Service Board of Governors so DeJoy can be fired and his disastrous policies reversed.

Trump and his Heritage Foundation cronies have laid out a comprehensive plan to dismantle the foundation of our immigration system and deport millions of immigrants living and working here. We must reject it.

Does your community want to keep loaded, hidden guns out of parks, stores, or childcare centers? If Trump’s Project 2025’s implemented, you can’t. Has your state passed universal background checks, red flag laws, and safe storage requirements? If Trump’s Project 2025 is implemented, they’ll disappear. The only way to prevent these outcomes is to keep Trump out of the White House.

Trump’s Project 2025 endeavors to create an authoritarian country governed by biblical principles that “restore the family” by eliminating civil liberties for particular communities. The LGBTQ+ community tops the list.

Spooked by voters’ negative reactions to Trump’s Project 2025 reproductive rights agenda, Trump is desperately trying to appear moderate. We must not be fooled, however, because Project 2025 is relying on the Reconstruction-era Comstock Act to to effectively outlaw abortion nationwide without Congressional action. Congress must repeal it immediately.

Trump’s Project 2025 will ruthlessly destroy the ability of millions of workers in both the private and public sectors. His agenda also calls for raising the retirement age for Social Security, which effectively cuts benefits. Trump’s claim he has anything to do with Project 2025 is nothing but a lie to protect his campaign from wide-scale backlash as citizens learn the details of this mean-spirited reactionary project.

SCOTUS’ MAGA supermajority is already implementing Trump’s highly unpopular and extremely dangerous Project 2025 policies. To stop Trump and the MAGA supermajority from further taking away our freedoms requires meaningful structural reforms—a binding, enforceable Ethics Code and term limits for the Justices and Court rebalancing—which can only happen with Democratic control of Congress and the White House. 

The Christian right mandate guiding Trump’s Project 2025 guts reproductive rights by eliminating or restricting access to abortion, STD testing, birth control, surrogacy, IVF, chemotherapy for fertile women, and more. Its extreme anti-choice agenda curtails options, eliminates critical research funding, and recommends using police power to punish uncooperative healthcare providers.
