Do Not pass the FISA act without citizen protections

The Panopticon Blinks Less Everyday

The proposed ban on social media access for children under 14 raises serious concerns about both effectiveness and unintended consequences. While protecting young people online is an important goal, broad prohibitions like this often push usage underground rather than addressing the root issues. You

LGBTQ+ community doesn't fit neatly in an M or F box. LGBTQ+ people are NOT terrorists. "Gender extremism" is not a real crime. The FBI needs to stop looking at our citizens as terrorists simply because the Executive orders and other bills targeting the LGBTQ community are simply escalating hate di

Reconciliation bill, etc.

First, I know that Congress is starting to put together a new reconciliation bill, to pass more funding for ICE, CBP, and Trump’s illegal war. The plan seems to be to pay for this by cutting Medicaid further. This is an absolutely terrible idea and a complete non-starter for me. I expect the Senator

Greetings and thanks for your continued good work! I am writing to express outrage over this administeration's detention of unaccompanied children.

Urgent Plea for Diplomatic Resolution and De-escalation with Iran

I am writing to you today as a deeply concerned constituent to urge you to use your platform and vote to oppose any further escalation of military conflict with Iran.

I want the Senator to vote NO on FISA reauthorization unless Congress CLOSES the data broker loophole and bans no-warrant surveillance. This is VERY very important to me, to all of us! Thank you for all you are doing on our country’s behalf.

Continue to push for a war powers resolution

I want a war powers resolution passed NOW, and am really angry that House Republicans just blocked another one. I also 100% oppose one penny more being spent on this war. I am furious about the bombardment of Lebanon yesterday, furious about how badly Trump has botched this whole illegal enterprise,

Support JRDs to Block $659M in Bomb Sales

Never have I wanted TACO Tuesday more than today with his mad declarations of bombing a civilization to extinction, but can we please for the love of whatever you believe in, even if it’s Cthulhu, get these people out of office now?

Remove Trump from office NOW! This man is mentally unstable and threatening the annihilation of an entire civilization. It is madness for Congress to stand by while he engagas in War Crimes. Remove Trump from office via 25th Amendment or Impeachment NOW!

Stop Profiteering Threats Against Iran

The Cabinet and the GOP in Congress have the power to stop President Trump from following through on his genocidal threats against Iran. Failure to act is a dereliction of duty. His Truth Social post threatening to wipe out Iranian civilization is morally reprehensible and indefensible. I am thankin

From a verified voter in Florence, OR

Regarding Trump's threats on Iran, I don't have the words. He is talking about war crimes. He is threatening genocide. How do we convince Mike Johnson to call the House back into session, and to proceed on an impeachment vote (and conviction in the Senate)? How do we stop this? Please do literally e

Trump is unfit, his war endangers us all

I’m writing to say that Donald Trump is unfit to remain in the presidency and must be removed at once, either via the 25th amendment or impeachment and removal. Trump’s Easter post was unhinged, deranged, and sickening. It proves that he is no longer able to perform the duties of the president. He’s
