Mueller Report Read LIVE in Austin
Starting later this month, we’re hosting six nights of live readings of the Mueller Report. Most Americans haven’t read the 448-page saga about Russia’s attack on our Democracy and Trump’s fealty to the attackers. Like Shakespeare’s plays, perhaps the Mueller Report is better on stage than on paper. So we’re bringing it to the public, in …

Take Action Tell your reps that Trump must be rebuked for his comments in Helsinki But first, here’s Lyin’ Cornyn: https://youtu.be/AiIIgksTlE0 “Nobody disputes the fact that they were unsuccessful in changing a single vote or affecting the outcome.” —Sen.

How Your Voices Are Making a Difference: Another One Bites the Dust
This was one of those son-of-a-bitch weeks that’s harder to stomach than some. But there was still plenty of progress still being made.

How Your Voices Made a Difference: The Tide is Turning

Judging by his customary angry-baby tantrum whenever it looks like the spotlight is about to shine on his misdoings, Donald must be getting pretty nervous about what Steve Bannon might have revealed to author Michael Wolff, whose incendiary new book claims to shed behind-the-scenes light—unflattering light at best—on Donald’s campaign, administration, and person.

How your voices are making a difference: Roll Tide!
Our feature story: The Crimson Tide turned blue this week as Alabama decided to send demagogue, scofflaw, and accused child molester Roy Moore packing (and the horse he rode to the polls on), handing the win to Democrat Doug Jones, a man who made his mark defending a little girl against the KKK in 1963. While we might …

What to do if Mueller is fired
Since the Cornyn Stakeout in May 2017, and the appointment of Robert Mueller as special prosecutor in the Russia investigation, we have shied away from Russia-related calls to action. Our movement is built on empowering individuals to make a difference, and it’s hard to see where we can make a difference on this front. Now, …
How Your Voices Are Making a Difference: There is more good in the world than evil
This was a rough week, and it made me want to add a feature to this list to remind all of us of who we are as human beings, and that there is more good in the world than evil. This incredibly inspiring story is about a police officer who answered a robbery call and found a …
