Yosemite belongs to the people, not developers

I understand that the Trump administration has proposed giving a parcel of land in Yosemite National park to a private developer. That is outrageous. Yosemite—and all of our national parks—should be off limits to development. Congress needs to act to stop this, now. Thanks.

Americans need safe, wholesome food!

I just read that the Trump administration is shuttering ⁠two of the three US Department of Agriculture research projects studying cyclospora. Why?

Preserve the Name Lake Ontario

I’m writing to ask you to oppose President Trump’s decision to rename Lake Ontario “Lake America.” The Great Lakes are an important part of our history, identity, economy, and relationship with Canada.

I urge you to demand that the FDA and HHS restore the officials, laboratories, and inspection protocols that have been cut under the Trump administration. These agencies are responsible for keeping our food safe, and it’s crucial that they have the staff and resources they need to do their jobs.

Trade war with Canada

This trade war with Canada is insane and self-destructive. It will drive up prices even more and further alienate our allies to the North. Congress needs to rein Trump in before he bankrupts us all. Stop the tariffs! Thanks.

Congress, protect our elections from interference.

I’m tired of Trump threatening our elections. Congress needs to act urgently to protect them from potential interference. They can do this by passing the Protect Our Polls Act, a new bill that would prevent Trump from sending uniformed military or federal law enforcement to the polls to intervene wi

Roadless Rule

Push back on the Trump administration’s repeal of the Roadless Conservation Rule to increase timber production on our public lands and national forests.

Big Bend

Joint military exercises with South Korea

I’m angry that Trump directed the Pentagon to scale back planned joint military exercises with South Korea.

National Park funds being diverted to vanity projects

I am furious that $323 million of taxpayer money that should be going to our national parks is instead going to Trump’s vanity projects in DC. That’s a nearly 5000 percent increase from 2024.

Shock gloves

I’m horrified that ICE plans to spend $20M on electric shock gloves for its agents.

Mistreatment of our sailors
