Donald Trump is publicly considering firing special counsel Robert Mueller, the person leading the Department of Justice investigation of possible illegal actions by Donald Trump and members of his presidential campaign, and the efforts to conceal those activities.
This would be a constitutional crisis for our country. It would demand an immediate and unequivocal response to show that we will not tolerate abuse of power from Donald Trump.
Our response in the minutes and hours following a power grab will dictate what happens next, and whether Congressthe only body with the constitutional power and obligation to rein Trump in from his rampagewill do anything to stand up to him.
That's why we're preparing to hold emergency "Nobody is Above the Law" rallies around the country in the event they are needed.
Use the map or search below by ZIP code to find an event near you, or create one if none exists.
Rallies will begin hours after news breaks of a Mueller firing:
- If Mueller is fired BEFORE 2 P.M. local time > events will begin @ 5 P.M. local time
- If Mueller is fired AFTER 2 P.M. local time > events will begin @ noon local time the following day
- This is the general planplease confirm details on your event page, as individual hosts may tailor their events to their local plan.
This is our moment to stand up to protect our democracy. Let's mobilize to show that we won't let Donald Trump become the authoritarian that he aspires to be. The law applies to all of us, and it's essential that it also applies to the most powerful people in our country.

(53,821 posts)If one party holds both houses of Congress and the executive branch, there is no way to rein in obstruction of justice and/or stop power grabs by a corrupt president.
This needs to be fixed. Perhaps this crisis will bring this flaw to the fore.
