Senate Confirmations Strategies

indivisible

Happy Tuesday, Activists ~ 

 

We hope you're having a good week.  We also hope you took some time off from politics after the November election and that you let your brain rest from it all, so to speak.  We sure have done just that!  But inevitably, we knew we'd need to get back in the game and we're starting now.  

 

As we mentioned in yesterday's newsletter, senate confirmation hearings are starting this week for Trump's cabinet picks.  Many of the nominees are unqualified and some are downright dangerous for our country.  We need to have a strategy to tell our senators that we strongly oppose those nominations and we want them to vote NO on some of these picks.

 

Below you can sign up for tonight's Indivisible national meeting and hear all about what we have planned so that we are smart and forceful about our reaction to oppose these nominees.


 

LEARN ABOUT OUR CONFIRMATION STRATEGY AT TONIGHT'S MEETING

 

Now that the senate committee confirmation hearings are starting, Indivisible is holding a national meeting tonight to discuss the best approach to oppose Trump's cabinet nominees.

 

During the call, Leah Greenberg, Indivisible's co-founder and co Executive Director, along with Rahna Epting from MoveOn and Maurice Mitchell of the Working Families Party, will break down the confirmation process. They'll explain how these hearings work, what's at stake, and how each of us can ensure our Democratic senators stand firm against the most egregious nominations.

Where:  Zoom

When:  TONIGHT, January 14 at 8:00 PM ET

TODAY'S CALL TO ACTION

 

Let's get started making the calls on some of the nominations today.  You can make one call to cover all four of these nominees. These aren’t just bad picks -- they’re calculated moves to advance a MAGA agenda of extremism, disinformation, and dismantling democracy:

 

-->  Kash Patel, FBI Director -- A Trump loyalist with a history of undermining justice. Patel’s confirmation would politicize the FBI and weaponize it against political opponents.

--> Pete Hegseth, Secretary of Defense -- A right-wing propagandist with no qualifications. His confirmation would endanger national security and push divisive ideological agendas.

--> Russell Vought, OMB Director -- The architect of Project 2025, designed to dismantle federal programs and concentrate power. His confirmation would supercharge MAGA authoritarianism.

--> RFK Jr., Secretary of Health and Human Services -- A notorious anti-vaccine conspiracy theorist whose nomination would threaten public health and safety.

 

If confirmed, these nominees will shape everything from public health to national security. Stopping them is critical. The confirmation hearing (the first step in the process) for Hegseth is this (Tuesday) morning, and Vought’s is Wednesday afternoon, so this fight starts right now.
