We’re LIVE at the White House #ConfrontCorruption vigil with @SenWhitehouse @SenJeffMerkley and hundreds of others in defense of our democracy following the outrageous Helsinki summit: facebook.com/moveon/videos/…

This is just one of 200 actions happening across the country tonight.
.@SenBlumenthal at the #ConfrontCorruption vigil in front of the White House:

"You cannot intimidate or fire a Special Counsel investigating you to hold you accountable for breaking the law... Trump's also breaking the law by violating the Emoluments Clause of the Constitution."
.@SenJeffMerkley: We’re facing profound corruption through gerrymandering, voter suppression and dirty money; through Citizens Untied, which like a sound system drowns out the voice of the people.

We need to overturn that ruling and bring power to the people. #ConfrontCorruption

We filed a FOIA request and found a foreign government was involved in planning Trump's military parade.

At the foreign government’s request, the administration is refusing to disclose the country's identity. theintercept.com/2018/09/14/vet…
With the Pentagon refusing to disclose which country was involved, we’ve got some guesses on who the culprit could be. “Like” the post with the country you think could be responsible. Thread.
Why it’s CHINA: China pressured Trump to weaken the US enforcement action against Chinese state-owned ZTE, and Trump caved. Could secret parade assistance from China — which hosts a huge military parade each year — be part of the leverage China has over Trump?

.@kfc just opened submissions for an utterly exploitative contest that encourages parents to sell their newborn baby’s identity to the company for life.

There’s advertising to children, and then there’s paying people to turn their child into the advertisement itself.
If a parent names their child “Harland” — after #KFC Founder Harland “Colonel” Sanders — and enters the contest, they can win $11,000 toward their child’s college education.

Only one child will win, leaving many others with KFC branded names for life and zero compensation.
In exchange for the $11,000 prize, the winning child’s identity — including name, pictures, voice, likeness and biographical information — will be owned by #KFC for advertising purposes without additional compensation or notification.

NEW REPORT: We reviewed and analyzed every one of the split-decision cases in which Judge Brett Kavanaugh wrote an opinion.

In five key areas, he overwhelmingly sided with big business. bit.ly/KavanaughBigBu…
In 18 of 22 cases involving consumer and regulatory issues or matters of administrative law, Judge Kavanaugh sided with corporations against agencies, or with agencies against public interest challengers.
In 11 of 13 environmental cases, Judge Kavanaugh sided with corporations or states challenging the EPA or other federal agencies for being too protective of the environment, or against environmental groups seeking stronger environmental enforcement.

BREAKING: Paul Manafort is found guilty on eight counts in fraud trial, including felonies of tax evasion, bank fraud and failing to file a foreign bank account. What a day for the rule of law. nytimes.com/2018/08/21/us/…
No witch hunt here.

It’s past time for President Trump to stand down on his attacks on the Mueller investigation and accede to the rule of law. citizen.org/media/press-re… nbcnews.com/news/all/manaf…
If Trump pardons Paul Manafort, 350,000 Americans in more than 900 cities are ready to take to the streets to assert that nobody is above the law.

.@SenWarren is LIVE calling out the culture of corruption in Washington and introducing bold new legislation to end it. Tune in: #EndCorruptionNow
.@SenWarren: "Across the board, our government is failing to fix the problems that face our working families. It's making the problems worse by giving more power, more money and more advantages to those who already have all three." #EndCorruptionNow
.@SenWarren: The recent explosion of political spending has delivered a gut punch to American democracy... Big money has created a pervasive culture of soft corruption in Washington that colors nearly every decision Congress makes.

RT if you agree: We need to #EndCorruptionNow.

We’re LIVE with partners delivering 80K+ petition signatures to @Nestle’s headquarters demanding the company stop unethically and aggressively marketing infant formula and undermining global health policies. Watch: facebook.com/Care2/videos/2…
Recent reports have exposed what we've known for years: The infant formula industry is doing everything in its power to weaken global health policies, undermine #breastfeeding and rake in more profit. Now Trump's helping his industry friends get their way. nytimes.com/2018/07/08/hea…
This should be old news, left behind in the 1980s after the World Health Assembly passed a Code prohibiting the unethical marketing of infant formula and formula industry lobbying.

37 years later, we’re still waiting for @Nestle and others in the industry to follow the rules.
