Trump wants us to believe that the presidency is all-powerful. It ain’t true. Political power in our democracy overlaps between local, state, and federal electeds. Our power comes from our ability to be a source of support (or a pain in the ass) to those electeds. We can use this power to get them to stand up to Trump 2.0 or face political consequences.

Blue Congressional Districts in Blue State

Our job is to push our Senators and Representatives into fighting form.

Maintaining lockstep opposition to Trump is crucial — any Democratic support at all will give him cover to portray his gruesome policies as “bipartisan.” Remember, it was lockstep Democratic opposition to the MAGA agenda — including attempts to repeal the Affordable Care Act — in 2017 that defeated some bills and built the narratives that helped a Blue Wave retake the House in 2018.

That means our job is to support, cheerlead, or berate our Democratic Representative and Senators to be active fighters for every battle we fight on the Trump agenda. That work should be loud and public — whether positive or negative. We deserve champions in Washington who don’t just refuse to go along, but actively, passionately make the case against Project 2025 — let our representatives know we expect it of them.

H.R. 22/ Silencing Act aka SAVE Act

It passed the House on April 10th with a vote of 220-208. This dangerous bill would create unnecessary obstacles for millions of eligible Americans trying to register to vote.

If it passes the Senate, this legislation would disproportionately impact:

Married women who have changed their last names, many of whom don’t have birth certificates matching their legal name
Naturalized citizens could face additional barriers and intimidation
Military members, tribal citizens, and working-class Americans, who may not have easy access to these documents
and more

Reconcilation (Big Boon for Billionaires) Bill

Republicans in Congress are on a mission to strip working families of $1.5 trillion in Medicaid, SNAP, and other essential programs—all to pay for more than $4.5 trillion in tax breaks for the super-rich.

Here’s just some of the terrible things in the bill:

Massive cuts to Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act (ACA) that would leave 15 million people without healthcare
Denying food assistance to more than 11 million people
Attacks on the trans community by banning gender affirming care from being covered by Medicaid or as an essential health benefit for ACA insurance plans
Decimated access to reproductive healthcare by defunding Planned Parenthood and banning ACA plans from covering abortion care
Higher costs of home utility bills because of cuts to clean energy investments
Skyrocking costs of college by eliminating student loan programs and slashing Pell Grant funding

House Republicans have already passed the bill, but the fight isn’t over. The Senate has to vote to pass it, and with every change they make, the House has to pass them again.

So what can we do? Our representative will keep voting No. So we have to get Republicans to go against the bill, and it has to go through their constituents. Remember one can only influence their own representatives. We have to ask constituents to contact their US Senators. It is where you come in. Will it work? It is how we stopped the ACA repeal back in 2017. So it will work if we all do it.
