Our overpass action was small but mighty today! Important, timely, messages and amazing volunteers. #LakewoodIndivisible #VisibilityBrigade
Signs on the 605 spelling out "Corruption - Had Enough?" along with an American flag and volunteers waving. The semi truck passing beneath honked in approval. Another angle of our second message on the 605 overpass, which spelled out "Convict the Epstein Class." Other volunteers also waved and encouraged vehicles to honk. Four volunteers stand on the overpass, bracketed by the fencing. One holds a large American flag, others hold seats, towels, and other sign materials. These were some of our main crew who organized, networked , and got up early to attach all of the letters.

DHS and ICE are pushing a bill, known as CORCA, to spy on all of us at malls and grocery stores nationwide. It's being sold as a way to stop shoplifting, but instead of making our neighborhoods safer it would be a massive expansion of the surveillance state. It must be stopped.

Congress Might Give ICE the Power to Go After Shoplifters
A bill intended to halt the supposed threat of “organized retail crime” would put ICE in charge of the federal response.

1. Pressure is intensifying from Trump to bypass the filibuster over anti-trans and voter disenfranchisement provisions. Cornyn, one of the biggest historical Republican supporters of the filibuster, has now flipped on it. Thune still says he doesn't have the votes to do so. My latest story.

Trump ended the IRS Direct File program that allowed millions of taxpayers to file taxes for free. That happened after Intuit, the maker of TurboTax, lobbied the government to block the IRS from launching its own program. Intuit also donated $1 million to Trump’s inauguration. See how this works?
