We’re facing an emergency.

We understand how busy MPs are, but we’re asking them to change plans to attend this crucial briefing.

How can they protect the public if they aren’t across the latest threats and solutions?

Inside Stephen Miller’s Secret Plan to Normalize Trump’s Dictator Rule He wants to supercharge searing civil tensions to get low-information voters to embrace their inner authoritarian. Exactly two Democrats appear to fully grasp this.
