Dear MoveOn member,
This is Senator Chris Murphy of Connecticut—a longtime friend of MoveOn
and fellow MoveOn member. I am skipping President Trump's speech to
Congress tomorrow night—and with my friends at MoveOn, I have a better
Tuesday in mind.
Would you join me Tuesday evening at [ [link removed] ]MoveOn.org/TrumpBS as we cut
through Trump's lies and bullshit with a special event during his address
to Congress?
[ [link removed] ]RSVP now to join me, fellow lawmakers, advocates, commentators, and
comedians for a virtual event as we offer a prebuttal to Trump's speech
and live commentary during his hour of bullshit.
Look, I get it: You may just decide to skip the speech entirely. Honestly,
for our collective mental health, we'd be better off watching reruns of
"30 Rock."
But for the many of us who can't help but tune in, we wanted to provide an
alternative. Instead of listening to Trump ramble through his lies,
fearmongering, and gloating, we'll offer our own commentary in real time:
a mix of fact-checking and, most importantly, opportunities to take action
against Trump and Elon's billionaire takeover ... and, yes, some good
old-fashioned snark.
For the 30 minutes before the speech, we'll have a live conversation with
lawmakers, advocates, commentators, and comedians—to lift up our spirits,
lift up the stakes of what's happening in this country, and lift up
compelling ways all of us can mobilize and organize the opposition.
Then during the speech itself, we'll kick off a real-time, rapid-response
chatroom. You'll still be able to hear his speech (sorry) while reading
our reactions and rebuttals along the way. With 10 or 20 of us commenting
together, it should be robust and entertaining, giving you a dynamic way
to cut through his bullshit, give opportunities to take action, and maybe
even a reason to smile.
So RSVP to join a growing list of special guests, including Senators Brian
Schatz, and Ed Markey, Governor Matt Meyer, Michigan Lt. Governor Garlin
Gilchrist II, Akilah Hughes, Wajahat Ali, Jay Willis, Lauren Bishop,
Michael Ian Black, @GoldenGateBlond ... and more!
[ [link removed] ]RSVP now, and we'll see you Tuesday evening at MoveOn.org/TrumpBS.
A presidential address to Congress is usually something you don’t want to
miss. But as Trump and Musk steal from us to enrich themselves and as the
Republicans in both houses of Congress go along with it, I can't sit there
and pretend this is business as usual. There are many, many ways we need
to work together, support each other, advocate, and fight in the months
ahead. That's exactly what we're going to plan together on Tuesday. And
along the way, we need the community and camaraderie of one another.
[ [link removed] ]Join us on Tuesday at MoveOn.org/TrumpBS—and in the work ahead.
Every best wish,
– Chris Murphy
