Writes The Hill:

The group has in the past criticized the president over his budget proposal, Republican attempts to repeal and replace ObamaCare and the president’s executive order temporarily barring individuals from certain predominantly Muslim nations from entering the United States.

In one television advertisement aired during MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” in early February, VoteVets spoke directly to Trump, telling him to start acting like “a legitimate president.”

“Look, you lost the popular vote … You’re having trouble drawing a crowd …  And your approval rating keeps sinking …” a veteran of the war in Afghanistan says in the ad.

“But kicking thousands of my fellow veterans off their health insurance by killing the Affordable Care Act, and banning Muslims won’t help …  And that’s not the America I sacrificed for … . You want to be a legitimate president, sir? Then act like one.”

Looks like he is blocking all veterans. Blocked me as well pic.twitter.com/m4HqyXIAsV

Cazwell Wants to Make America Femme Again with ‘Loose Wrists’ – WATCH

NYC-based rapper Cazwell is back with “Loose Wrists”, the first single from his new music label Snow Cone, and hopes to “make America femme again.”

Cazwell performs much of the clip with his dancers in a set of pastel lace rompers designed by Hoza Rodriguz that have already gone viral on social media.

Said Cazwell of the lace fashion: “I was surprised by the reaction because the outfits are way more conservative than the shirtless guys in Speedos and jockstraps I typically have in my videos.”

He adds: “I noticed a Femme pride movement brewing a few years back but it has not been so visible until now. Its about time we all embrace femme. Whether we are gay or straight, when men get in touch with their feminine sides, it gives a real sense of empowerment.”

He sees himself as part of the resistance and hopes you will be too:

“We have a president that wants to take us off of the census and a vice president that believes shock therapy will cure gayness. At the end of last year, I vowed to be as gay as possible with my music and videos. We have to be more visible than ever and I hope I inspire that.”

#HonorThemWithAction: Raymond Braun and Tyler Oakley Visit Orlando on One Year Mark of Pulse Attack

One year after the Pulse nightclub shooting, HRC partnered with social media influencers Raymond Braun and Tyler Oakley in Orlando to visit survivors of the shooting, families of victims and the local LGBTQ community.

The emotional 18-minute long video features Christine Leinonen, whose son Drew was killed at Pulse, survivors Brandon Wolf and Angel Colon, and local leaders Terry DeCarlo and Rep. Carlos Smith.

Today, HRC and a broad coalition of organizations joined Equality Florida’s #HonorThemWithAction campaign to pay tribute to the 49 people whose lives were taken on that terrible Sunday morning with vigils across the nation.

Along with Braun and Oakley, we mourn and pay respects to those impacted by that fateful night. Here are four ways #HonorThemWithAction:

1. Text UNITE to 30644 to join HRC’s Mobile Action Network. By joining, you’ll be up to date on the latest LGBTQ news, actions and resources available.
2. Be a part of the change, be engaged, get involved! Find more than a dozen ways to make a difference at hrc.org/help.
3. Contact your member of congress by texting MY CONGRESS to 30644. Tell them to support commonsense gun safety laws and the Equality Act.
4. Share this video and how you plan to #HonorThemWithAction on social media.

Congressman Proposes Article of Impeachment Against Trump

A California lawmaker has unveiled a proposed article of impeachment against Donald Trump for obstructing justice in a federal investigation.

Democratic Rep. Brad Sherman’s (above) legislative text argues that Trump’s alleged attempts to pressure James Comey to drop an FBI investigation into former White House national security adviser Michael Flynn amounted to obstruction of justice.

“In all of this,” the article of impeachment reads, “Donald John Trump has acted in a manner contrary to his trust as President and subversive of constitutional government, to the great prejudice of the cause of law and justice and to the manifest injury of the people of the United States.”

According to The Hill, in a letter of fellow lawmakers on Monday, Sherman said that he is considering forcing a floor vote if the House Judiciary Committee does not take it up.

“I would hope that the Article, once submitted, would receive expeditious consideration by the Judiciary Committee. However, if it becomes clear that such consideration is not forthcoming, I (after consultation with colleagues and leadership) will make a privileged motion that the entire House of Representatives immediately debate the Article,” the letter reads. “At that point, I expect there will be a Motion to Table, thus triggering our first impeachment-related vote.”

Sherman also indicated that he may file more articles of impeachment if there is “additional evidence” to support charges against Trump.

Today on the floor of the Congress of the United States of America, I will call for the Impeachment of the President between 9am & 10am CST.

— Congressman Al Green (@RepAlGreen) May 17, 2017

Rep. Al Green (right), who was the first Democrat to announce he would begin drafting articles of impeachment against Trump, is working separately on a resolution similar to Sherman’s.

At a joint press conference last week, Green said: “The question really is not whether the president has obstructed justice; the question really is whether the president can obstruct justice with impunity.”
