The Democratic National Committee and more than three dozen groups are planning events across 20 states on Saturday, according to details first shared with NBC News.
Dozens of liberal groups unveiled plans Tuesday to hold around 50 events across 20 states to protest Republican redistricting efforts in Texas backed by President Donald Trump.
The demonstrations scheduled for Saturday — branded as “Fight the Trump Takeover” — are being organized by more than three dozen groups, including the Democratic National Committee, according to plans shared first with NBC News.
“Trump knows the only way he can hold the majority after his budget betrayal is by changing the rules in the middle of the game to avoid accountability for ripping health care and food away from millions of Americans,” said DNC Chair Ken Martin in a statement, referring to Trump’s sweeping domestic policy bill that he signed into law last month.
nice lies, only 5 members of congress dont take AIPAC money and the DNC betrayed the working class to keep its donors happy. time for new parties or a revolution. they had their chance.
Factually untrue, there’s at least this many:

When you’re talking about 435 congress critters, the difference between 5 and 13 is negligible. :)
Plus, that list combines former members, candidates, and the House and Senate.
Jamaal Bowman - Former Congressman
Cori Bush - Former Congresswoman
Greg Casar - TX35
Pramila Jayapal - WA7
Summer Lee - PA12
AOC - NY14
Ilhan Omar - MN5
Mark Pocan - WI2
Ayanna Pressley - MA7
Delia Ramirez - IL3
Bernie Sanders - Senator VT
Rashida Tlaib - MI12
Nydia Velaquez - NY7
5/435 = 1.15% vs.
10/435 = 2.3%
No real statistical difference there. :)
Bub…
You think every person not taking AIPAC money is on that list?
Even if it was, 3x is a pretty big difference.
But hey, if youre cool with people lying to depress Dem turnout, well, I’m disappointed
I mean, “rejectaipac” should know, right? And donations are public record.
But when you consider the pro-Israel lobby is way, way, WAY bigger than just AIPAC, I’m sure even the people on that list are still getting tainted donations.

My understanding is it’s a list of people who made the pledge…
They don’t research all 400+ members of Congress and compile a list
Going on that list takes an explicit action, the pledge.
It seems likely there would be a few who don’t take the money, but also don’t take the pledge.
You telling me you think every politician has a spine?
