Tell Senate Democrats: We urge you and Senate Democratic leadership to get to work and take as much action as possible, through confirmations and legislation, to prepare democracy for Trump's upcoming term. | Trump appointed a lot of judges and agency heads during his first administration. Democrats in the Senate haven't always moved as quickly to confirm Biden's appointees — now there's no time to waste before Trump takes office. These confirmations matter. Federal judges serve for life, and plenty of agency appointments cross over into the next presidency. Just look at the disastrous head of the Postal Service, Louis DeJoy, who was appointed by Trump and has served during Biden's full term. The Senate also has a chance to pass legislation like the PRESS Act. We need Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Senate Democrats to act swiftly. Sign the petition: Urge Senator Schumer and Senate Democrats to Trump-proof the government as much as possible! Trump appointed over 200 federal judges in his first term, including almost as many federal appeals court judges as former President Obama appointed in eight years. Biden also appointed over 200 judges during his term, but he can still do much more. Every federal appointment will count in these final weeks. The work Senate Democrats can do now will be crucial to strengthening our democracy before Trump takes office. Federal appointments and final pieces of legislation will all be critical. Sign the petition: Tell Senate Democrats to get as much done as possible before Trump takes office. |
