  2. The president of the United States is repeatedly threatening to use our military to commit war crimes.

  3. It appears that the State Department is leveraging funding for international health assistance to extract data, natural resources, and deportation concessions from vulnerable countries.

Good News!

Encouraging developments don’t always make the headlines, But good news can provide us with hope and momentum, so let's take heart!

  1. At least one Republican Senator has publicly stated that the war in Iran may soon exceed the president’s authority under the War Powers Resolution.

  2. GOP lawmakers are pushing back against ICE detention centers in their communities. (Good job, everyone who reached out to them!)

  3. A judge has temporarily halted administration efforts to collect race-related data from public universities.
