Sign if you agree: Speaker Mike Johnson is a dangerous extremist

[Daily Kos Campaigns]( Here are some of the most popular and time-sensitive petitions from Daily Kos, the largest online gathering space for progressives. - [Sign if you agree: Speaker Mike Johnson is a dangerous extremist]( Sign if you agree: Speaker Mike Johnson is a dangerous extremist Mike Johnson, a former attorney for the right-wing hate group Alliance Defending Freedom, holds extreme views on everything from separation of church and state to LGBTQ+ freedoms and abortion rights. He has argued that we do not live in a democracy, and he was a leading architect to overturn the 2020 presidential election results—colluding with Donald Trump himself to have Congress reject the Electoral College votes of swing states. Every single Republican must answer for the extreme views of their new House Speaker. - [Sign if you agree: The Supreme Court is in serious need of reform]( Sign if you agree: The Supreme Court is in serious need of reform The Supreme Court has kicked off a new term with a slew of cases that could reshape the U.S. With ethical controversies and a lack of accountability clouding the court, we can't trust its ability to decide monumental cases fairly. We need immediate reform. - [Sign the petition: Trump is a clear & present danger to democracy]( Sign the petition: Trump is a clear & present danger to democracy TARGET: News media Donald Trump had no plans to leave office when he lost the election. According to ex-Trump lawyer Jenna Ellis, the then-White House deputy chief of staff reportedly said, “The boss is not going to leave under any circumstances… We are just going to stay in power.” The more we learn, the more certain we can be that he’ll attempt another coup if given the opportunity. That’s why we must treat Trump as the danger to our democracy and threat to our freedoms that he is. - [The 2024 election is a year away. We need to work just as hard to defeat Trump now as we did in 2020, but our revenue has declined.

The Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons is our chance to steer humanity away from nuclear disaster. - [Sign the petition: Reject antisemitism and Islamophobia]( Sign the petition: Reject antisemitism and Islamophobia No one should encounter discrimination, endure violence, or live in fear because of who they are (or who they are perceived to be), where they're from, or how they worship. We must move in solidarity with our Arab, Jewish, and Muslim neighbors as we build a world that values all of humanity. - [Sign the petition: Disqualify Trump from running for president]( Sign the petition: Disqualify Trump from running for president! TARGET: Secretaries of State Section 3 of the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution is very clear. Any person who has taken an oath to support the Constitution, but has subsequently engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the United States, is disqualified from holding office. Donald Trump's actions on January 6 make him ineligible to run for president, and he must be disqualified. - [Want to show your support for Daily Kos?

Our national parks are vital ecosystems. These parks are sanctuaries for diverse wildlife and flora, offering a place of solace and safety for millions of animals. Recent times have shown us how fragile these environments can be in the face of human impact and inadequate policies. - [Sign the petition: Denounce MAGA GOP's baseless impeachment inquiry against President Biden]( Sign the petition: Denounce MAGA GOP's baseless impeachment inquiry against President Biden TARGET: Congress In an audacious and deeply troubling move, House Republicans have called for a formal impeachment inquiry targeting President Joe Biden. This announcement comes despite the glaring absence of concrete evidence linking the President to any criminal wrongdoing. - [Sign the petition: Justice Clarence Thomas must resign]( Sign the petition: Justice Clarence Thomas must resign For 30-plus years, Clarence Thomas has served on the U.S. Supreme Court where he helped overturn the right to abortion, eviscerated the Voting Rights Act, gutted environmental protections and turned on the flow of corporate money that would corrupt our electoral system. During that time, he concealed decades of lavish trips paid for by several major GOP donors, including Harlan Crow. - [Sign the petition: Stop corporations from ripping us off. Stop junk fees!]( Sign the petition: Stop corporations from ripping us off. Stop junk fees! TARGET: Federal Trade Commission Greedy corporations are ripping off American consumers to the tune of tens of billions of dollars each year in the form of junk fees. It’s about time someone stood up to them. - [Sign the petition: Time to fix the broken student loan system]( Sign the petition: Time to fix the broken student loan system TARGET: Dept. of Education The student loan payment process is becoming more complex and challenging, with recent examples of systemic failures from student loan servicers like MOHELA. Negligence from the servicers has put the financial futures of 800,000 borrowers at risk. The entire student loan system is plagued with similar issues, and borrowers should not have to bear the brunt of servicers' mistakes. - [Putin's war in Ukraine is still causing chaos for millions. Donate to humanitarian efforts assisting refugees and others suffering from the crisis.]( - [Sign the petition: Ban assault weapons!]( Sign the petition: Ban assault weapons! TARGET: Congress Every day, we hear news of another mass shooting, another life lost, another community shattered. The common denominator? Assault weapons. These firearms have no place in our neighborhoods. Congress must take action and ban assault weapons. - [Sign the petition to Congress: Support aid to parents and children]( Sign the petition to Congress: Support aid to parents and children Congress passed a continuing resolution to avoid a government shutdown and continue funding government programs through January 2024 with a glaring omission–they did not include extra aid money for low-income parents, children, and infants. - [Sign the petition: Renew pandemic-era anti-poverty programs]( Sign the petition: Renew pandemic-era anti-poverty programs TARGET: Congress The expiration of pandemic-era public assistance programs like the expanded Child Tax Credit led to increased poverty rates across all racial and ethnic groups. This isn't just a setback; it's a policy failure that disproportionately impacts low-income families, communities of color, and children. - [Sign the petition: Stop the massive pay disparities. Pass the CEO Act]( Sign the petition: Stop the massive pay disparities. Pass the CEO Act TARGET: Congress If we want the United States to thrive, while ensuring the survival of democratic capitalism, we must do everything in our power to curtail exorbitant pay disparities between CEOs and workers. The Curtailing Executive Overcompensation (CEO) Act would apply an excise tax on public and private companies that have at least a 50-to-1 CEO-to-median-worker pay disparity. - [Sign the petition: Corruption abounds! Expel Rep. George Santos]( Sign the petition: Corruption abounds! Expel Rep. George Santos TARGET: Congress George Santos is a demonstrated liar who does not belong in the United States Congress. He is facing a 23 count indictment ranging from wire fraud to false statements to theft of public money and has been under investigation by the House Ethics Committee. - [Sign the petition to corporations: Stop advertising on Twitter (now X)]( [Log in]( or [sign up]( to post articles and comments on Daily Kos, the nation's largest progressive community.
