Sen. John Kennedy

Vote NO on HR 1526. I love our system of checks and balances - as embedded in the Constitution. HR 1526 would constrain federal courts' ability to stop the executive branch from carrying out illegal or unconstitutional actions. This legislation poses a danger to all of us by removing an important ch

You must speak out against Trump accepting a $400 million "floating palace" from Qatar. The President already has Airforce One that is fitted for his security needs. This plane is a bribe and is a clear violation of the emoluments clause of the Constitution, which prohibits any U.S. government offic

I am writing to encourage you to oppose SNAP cuts. The proposed cuts in the budget would be devastating and people will starve. sNAP is a huge benefit re childhood development and education—kids can’t learn and grow if they aren’t fed SNAP is also a massive economic engine—every $1 spent on SNAP ge

No! To the House budget

You haven't heard from me in a while. I've had some pressing family issues to attend to. But that doesn't mean that I have forgotten about the crime that you are allowing against the American people. It appears that Trump and Vance are trying to kill off as many of us as they can by denying food

Bribery happening in "Plane" Sight? Stop Trump's Corruption Now!

I am writing with grave concern about corruption in the office of the President. The constitutional order is in part maintained by the limitation placed on our federal elected officials - they cannot use their position in office for personal gain. They are nor kings but citizens in service. For th

Protect Medicaid access, reject partisan healthcare cuts

The proposed legislation from House Republicans threatens to cause immense hardship for millions of vulnerable Americans by stripping away essential Medicaid coverage and increasing out-of-pocket medical costs. Cutting $715 billion from Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act programs over the next dec

TAX THE RICH. If Jeff Bezos can send his wife and Katy Perry to space for 11 minutes, surely he 1) does not need an extension of the 2017 Trump tax cuts; and 2) can pay Social Security taxes on ALL of his income.

Protect Louisiana! Protect FEMA!

Recent disclosures from Federal Employees indicate that President Trump has plans to defund FEMA. Recent failures in response to disasters in Arkansas and North Carolina inducate that this administration will ignore states facing natural disasters by denying FEMA funds. FEMA must be protected and ma

Congress This is what Republican budget plans would mean for our community. $7 Trillion In giveaways to billionaires and big corporations. $314,266 Average annual tax cut for the richest 0.1 percent. Meanwhile, middle-class families would be left holding the bag. To pay for their giveaways to big c

Despite all the lies and propaganda, Republicans are so transparent in their attempt to dumb down and indoctrinate the electorate, from cuts in Education funding to supporting Trump's executive order to defund NPR and PBS. PBS and NPR don't indoctrinate. They inform. And educated populace understand

Trump's proposed budget is devastating and will hurt Louisianians. It is unnecessary to slash domestic spending on health, education, and housing just so the wealthy can hoard even more money. Why are you supporting the oligarchs at the expense of everyday Louisianians? And why increase military spe

Golf, Planes, Parades, a Ballroom? Stop Trump from Wasting Taxpayer Funds NOW!

Congress holds the power of the purse. It has an obligation to manage tax payer funds responsibly for the health and welfare of citizens. President Trump is wasting taxpayer money on unnecessary lavish expenses. You have an obligation to stop him. Do your job. Between January 21 and March 31, at

Stop RFK Jr's attack on our health and wellbeing. His latest disastrous policy is a radical change in the way HHS evaluates vaccine safety which has absolutely nothing to do with vaccine safety and everything to do with his anti-science, anti-vaxx beliefs. This change will result in a slow-walking o

Protect NSF — Reject Illegal DOGE Funding Cuts

On Friday, May 2, a massive blow to NSF-funded research was announced. This amounted to a 30% cut to grants that support crucial scientific research across the US. Additionally, the President’s proposed budget would cut NSF funding by 55%. In the past fiscal year, NSF directly supported 357,600 rese

Strongly condemn Israel's continued blockade of humanitarian aid and its latest plan to use the military to move Palestenians to an even smaller consolidated area as part of its continuation of the war. This plan is unacceptable. It is immoral and unethical to use life-saving supplies to achieve m

Protect Social Security. Do not confirm an unqualified DOGE entity to run it. DOGE has demonstrated unequivocally that their goal is to destroy the American government, NOT save money. DOGE was not authorized by Congress, and it is about time that Republicans stood up and did their job instead of ru

Reject wasteful Trump military parade to inflate ego

President Trump's proposed military parade to celebrate his birthday is a flagrant misuse of taxpayer funds. At a time when vital government programs face budget cuts and federal workers are being laid off, this extravagant display would squander millions better spent on initiatives that benefit the

Trump and Republicans who support him (explicitly or with their silence) clearly are out of touch and do not understand tariffs and what the American consumer is worried about. I don't know anyone who buys their child 30 dolls for Christmas, but I know plenty of American families who are worried abo

Trump is an Oath Breaker! Impeach Him!

I just watched Trump's interview (May 3rd 2025) with Meet The Press. Trump says he doesn't know if he has to protect and uphold the Constitution of the United States of America despite having said the Oath of Office TWICE NOW. I demand that YOU do your JOB and UPHOLD your OATH to the Constitution an

Harvard’s tax exempt status

Protect Harvard's rights, uphold rule of law against retaliation

President Trump's threat to revoke Harvard University's tax-exempt status raises serious legal concerns. As legal experts have noted, his public comments directing the IRS to take action against Harvard appear to violate a federal law prohibiting the president from influencing tax investigations of

Reject reimbursement for January 6th rioters, uphold democracy

The insurrection on January 6th, 2021 was an unconscionable attack on American democracy. Those involved attempted to violently overturn the results of a free and fair election through force. Providing funds to cover legal costs for the rioters would be an affront to the rule of law and a misuse of

I urge you to call Secretary Marco Rubio to demand that lifesaving foreign aid gets turned back on and stays on, as he promised it would. Given Rubio is now also the acting National Security Director, this might be a good time for him to hire someone to direct USAID efforts. HIV meds are not gettin

Reconsider expensive parade; prioritize troop support and national security

The reported plans for a large military parade on June 14th to coincide with President Trump's birthday raise significant concerns of wasteful spending at a time when his policies have caused an economic recession. According to detailed Army documents, the parade would involve over 6,600 soldiers, 1

I am delighted to hear that Musk is cutting back his time with DOGE and hope he takes his tech baby bros with him. Watchdogs have reported only 12.6 billion in verifiable savings, which represents just 0.0173% of the US federal budget for 2025. We've lost vital government services and abandoned aid
