Schumer is speaking now. Dems have been preparing strategies,

legal steps, etc. as well as a public opinion campaign to protect Mueller and his investigation. They have been trying to stop Kavanaugh by using the latest events as a strategy to stop his path to become the next justice. Many senators have been applying various actions as well as hoping to get public support.
*****************************
There are protests planned for each. This Sunday Aug 26th "Unite For Justice" protests will be held in over 150 cities. Join us on August 26th as we hold a national day of action in all 50 states to fight Donald Trump's Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh and demand that our representatives in Washington act NOW to protect our most fundamental rights and freedoms. Roe v. Wade, voting rights, workers' rights, LGBTQ rights, immigrant rights, and much more are all in grave danger if this Supreme Court nominee is confirmed. With so much at stake, we cannot back down.

Find an event near you. More will be added before Aug 26 or you can start your own. RESIST!
******************************
"Nobody Is Above The Law" protests are planned, see if one is near you. Over 900 cities.

Trump will create a constitutional crisis if he fires special counsel Robert Mueller or Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, who oversees Mueller, or attempts to compromise the investigation by other means. (See The Plan for details.)

Our response in the hours following a potential power grab will dictate what happens next—whether Congress will stand up to Trump or allow him to move our democracy toward authoritarianism.

She took a picture of my anti tRump earrings and she said "we need to hit the streets". I told her about the two protests and she is going to go too now. We have to spread the word. I do not use social media so I tell everyone, even if they are strangers....my earrings get a lot of positive attention and say "lock him up". They are a good way to start a conversation. So are the pins I wear...the fucking moron as a Russian nesting doll with crazy eyes.

RESISTANCE WORKS!!!!! Our voices will be heard loud and clear!
