Stand Up America
@StandUpAmerica
We’re a grassroots community of nearly 2 million progressives that’s standing up to corruption & voter suppression and building a more representative democracy.
Just sharing that Trump is flying Air Force One to Scotland this weekend to visit his own business and open a new golf course…costing taxpayers an estimated $10 million dollars. This isn’t normal, and it’s not acceptable. The trip comes on the heels of Congressional…
Rep. Castro is right: Donald Trump and his enablers are trying to gerrymander Texas to stay in power and divert attention from his unpopular policies. This isn’t how it should work in a democracy.
Again and again, Bove has shown he lacks the temperament, integrity, and independence to serve on the federal bench. He’s nothing more than a lawless, political foot soldier doing Trump’s bidding. Bove is unfit for a lifetime appointment to one of our nation’s most powerful…
NEW: A second whistleblower and former DOJ attorney has produced evidence that backs up allegations that Trump's judicial nominee Emil Bove told DOJ attorneys to defy court orders, mislead judges + withhold info from judges, says whistleblower group. huffpost.com/entry/trump-ta…
Donald Trump is trying to dismantle our democracy brick by brick. It’s time to pay attention and take a stand.
Emil Bove is one of Trump's worst judicial nominees to date 1. He's a January 6 apologist who defended Trump after he was charged with inciting an insurrection 2. He told DOJ lawyers to ignore court orders and deliberately mislead judges 3. He's openly hostile to the rule of law
Nearly 1000 former DOJ lawyers deemed Emil Bove unfit for a lifetime appointment to the federal bench. Yet, @SenateGOP continues to push for his confirmation. Why? Because they would rather listen to Trump than stand up for the American people.
Democratic members of Congress @RepSylviaGarcia, @JoaquinCastrotx, and @GregCasar shared POWERFUL words against redistricting at the Texas Capitol today. #txlege
Gallup Poll: Trump’s approval at 37%. Disapproval at 58%. Only 19% of independents like how he has handled the federal budget. An extra 4 trillion in debt for a bunch of tax cuts for the wealthy? Oops. They noticed.
Thank you, Senator Kelly. Federal judges should not be henchmen–they take an oath to the Constitution, not to the President. The Senate should reject Emil Bove’s appeals court nomination. Text REJECT to 63033 and demand your senator vote NO on Bove’s confirmation.
Trump nominated his personal lawyer Emil Bove for a lifetime job as a judge. This is a guy who fired prosecutors for doing their jobs throwing January 6th rioters in jail. He’s carried out retribution against FBI agents. He's instructed lawyers to ignore court orders and shown…
Texas Republicans are trying to use extreme gerrymandering to maintain their grip on the House of Representatives. It’s completely undemocratic. Voters should choose their leaders – politicians shouldn’t get to choose their voters.
Sen. Lisa Murkowski was the deciding vote for Trump’s budget.
It’s the job of federal judges to put the Constitution and the American people first, not the president. The Senate should reject Bove’s nomination. Text REJECT to 63033 and demand your senator vote NO on Bove’s nomination.
Emil Bove’s nomination by Donald Trump is an insult to every single qualified, independent judge who has ever sat on our federal courts.
Everywhere we look, we see more examples of the corruption of this president. op: @business (via IG)
Emil Bove has been at the center of some of this administration's worst abuses. Tonight, I took to the Senate floor to outline just a few. Here’s what I said:
To build a truly representative democracy, we must fix this broken Court.
SCOTUS is allowing Trump to fire (at least for now) the three Democrat-appointed members of the Consumer Product Safety Commission. The CPSC regulates safety of everyday consumer products. Guess who recently sued the agency and claimed that it's unconstitutional? Amazon.
Sending active‑duty Marines into Los Angeles was never warranted — a provocative overreach that inflamed tensions, bypassed state authority, and misappropriated the valuable resources of our armed forces.
The only winners here are rich people. Everybody else loses.
Trump has brought a chainsaw to vital government services — including cuts to NOAA that are putting American lives in danger. Why? All to make room for more tax cuts for billionaires. It's the Great Betrayal and the American people won't tolerate it. We're fighting back.
