Trump tariff madness

When will Congress step in to stop the damage that one person is causing to the global economy? Congress has the power to stop this and you must. If you do not do everything in your power to stop Trump, you risk losing your seat. This meltdown is man-made and must be reversed. Trump cannot be allowe

Stop the tarrifs

Hi, I am writing this letter because the tarrifs are a confusing and terrible plan. There were no benefits to why our president and our executive administration are doing this. I am concerned he is creating a crisis so he could rely on IEEPA emergency powers to do more damage than he already inten

Protecting constitutional rights of visa holders and international students

I am writing today in outrage about the abuses perpetrated on our LEGAL immigrants and residents from other countries. Under Donald Trump's mass deportation initiatives, ICE ( presumably, because they wore no identifying uniforms) is arrested Rumeysa Ozturk in Somerville on March 25, 2025. Ms.Ozt

Demand action on defense breach

I’m writing to demand a call for Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and National Security Advisor Michael Waltz to resign immediately due to their reckless and illegal disclosure of national security secrets.

Every person on the Houthi group chat must be removed from their post and from government. It is an unspeakable disgrace. Although it is also not surprising. Please make sure this happens.

Unfit for office

What we learned yesterday about the level of incompetence at the highest level of our government is STAGGERING. Using a public texting app to discuss top secret and highly confidential military operations is clear evidence of just how unqualified these individuals are. I am asking you, as our electe

Stand up to Trump’s unconstitutional acts

Hi, I'm a constituent writing from 01373 to demand intervention in the Trump administration’s repeated defying of our Constitution. Congress needs to do its job as a co-equal branch of government to resist Trump’s blatant disregard for the rule of law. I want Massachusetts reps to publicly condemn a

We are in a constitutional crisis. What are we doing about it?

Hi, I’m a constituent writing from 01373 because we have entered a constitutional crisis. On Saturday evening, federal judge James Boasberg unambiguously ordered the Trump administration not to deport any Venezuelans using the Alien Enemies Act of 1798. The administration ignored him. This is terrif

The President Sent Federal Agents to Arrest a Man for Speaking.

The President of the United States sent federal agents to arrest a man for speaking. That is the most important part of the story regarding the Columbia student, a permanent resident, married to an American citizen, who was arrested illegally by ICE agents. To call this a serious issue would be a va
