The answer is not the 25th Amendment. It was never the 25th Amendment. The answer is in Article I of the Constitution, it has been there since 1787, and it is called impeachment. Congress has the power. Congress has the grounds. Congress has the obligation. What Congress does not have — what it has been conspicuously lacking — is the spine to use it. That changes when the people demand it. So let's be clear about what we're demanding, and why.

April 7 came and went. Some results hurt. Some inspired. And now, with August 4 on the horizon, southwest Missouri Democrats cannot afford to sit this one out. Here, we break down everything that happened on April 7 — from SB 3 to the Joplin City Council race that is still not officially called — and lays out exactly who we are voting for and why on August 4.

If you live in Newton or Jasper County, there is a question on your April 7 ballot that looks like a property tax break. It is not. It is a funding trap — and if it passes, the services your community depends on every single day will pay the price. The measure is tied to Missouri Senate Bill 3, passed in a special legislative session in June 2025. It sounds simple. It is not. And that is exactly the problem. Vote NO on April 7. Here's why....

Tonight is a place to start. Join us on Zoom for Together Across America.

Right now, if a state or local police officer violates your constitutional rights, you can sue them under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. But if a federal officer – from ICE, CBP, FBI, or another agency – does the same thing, your path to justice is far narrower and often blocked by judge-made limits and broad immunities. That gap leaves real people with life-altering harms and no meaningful remedy. This is where we come in.

†®*mp’s regime is building a nationwide deportation dragnet by paying local police and sheriffs to act like IÇE through 287(g) agreements and joint task forces. That shift pulls officers away from other public‑safety work and leaves immigrant communities living with more fear and less trust in law enforcement. How does it make you feel?

A call for America’s professional athletes to stand with Americans against the current threat of tyranny and destruction of our Rights and our Constitution

At this moment, the most responsible course is to unite, speak with one voice, and stay focused on what truly matters: the people.

Since January 2025, executive overreach has surged, undermining democratic checks and balances with actions like deploying troops domestically, politicizing the Justice Department, and reshaping the civil service. Yet history shows that when just 3.5% of the population — about 11 million Americans —engage in sustained, nonviolent civic action, transformative change becomes inevitable. This moment demands focused collective effort to safeguard democracy before it erodes furthe

Citizens Against Tyranny was born from the powerful lesson in Vice President Kamala Harris’ elephant metaphor — standing together to protect the most vulnerable amid crisis. This foundational ideal guides us today: we unite as a protective circle to defend democracy, support one another, and confront threats to justice and truth. This is how our mission to empower, connect, and mobilize citizens against tyranny took shape.
