Congress Must Reassert Its Constitutional Authority

I’m writing as a constituent who is deeply concerned about the erosion of constitutional checks and balances. What we are witnessing is not a normal policy disagreement between branches of government. It is a steady consolidation of power in the executive branch, paired with lawlessness, cruelty, an

I’m old so maybe my memory is faulty. But didn’t Russia used to be our enemy and Ukraine our ally? And wasn’t it murder when people killed other people in fishing boats? If so, fight the regime that’s turning our values inside out. (I know you are, so thank you!)

Investigate the El Salvador Prison Atrocities

The NY Times just ran a piece on the Daily podcast about the treatment of the Venezuelan deportees sent to the prison in El Salvador. There is strong evidence that these men were badly mistreated; some were tortured. These men were deported without any kind of due process or any real evidence tha

Oppose the administration’s plans to roll back fuel-efficiency standards.

I ask you to immediately oppose the Trump administration’s rollback of federal fuel-efficiency standards, which will not only threaten the environment, but will also stress the family budgets of families across the country. Trump proposes slashing the fuel-efficiency target from 50 mpg to just 34

Support Ukraine; Stop Putin

Please support Ukraine in its ongoing war with Russia. The Trump administration is way too cozy with Russia and is trying to sell out Ukraine. Putin is a bloody thirsty war criminal and must not be allowed to appear victorious in Ukraine. The West cannot afford to coddle and embolden Putin; he is

Congress cannot allow a war with Venezuela! You must act IMMEDIATELY.

I am deeply concerned about the Trump regime's rapid escalation toward a potentially catastrophic and unauthorized military conflict with Venezuela, which would be a violation of international law and Venezuela’s national sovereignty. The president is telling U.S. service members that “very soon” l

Say NO to Mike Lee's Borderlands “Conservation” Act.

Say NO to Mike Lee's 'Borderlands Conservation Act.' It would be devastating—opening all federal lands within 100 miles of the U.S. border to development. As representatives from the Northwest you know the damage it would do: • Gut key Wilderness Act protections • Allow new roads, buildings, and m

Protect constitutional rights: reject denaturalization

The recent announcement by the Trump administration to reexamine green cards and potentially denaturalize migrants is a direct threat to the foundational principles of our nation.

Assert congressional oversight over Ukraine policy immediately!!!

I cannot TELL you how upset and angry I am about the news of the administration’s “peace plan.” (Particularly, as the news circulates—from reputable sources—that the Russian banker “leaked” it to give it credibility.)

Two things today: 1. Please sign on to Rep. Fitzpatrick’s discharge petition that would force sanctions on Russia. Trump’s so-called peace plan for Ukraine is a sell-out of our ally and self-enrichment for him and his pals. 2. Please support Rep. Seth Moulton’s bill to bar the Trump administrati
