Federal agencies are increas

Co-sponsor and vote yes on the Ban Flock Act, H.R. 10691.

Oppose the DEFEND IP Act — It Builds a Censorship Machine

Vote no on the DEFEND IP Act. This bill doesn't defend creativity — it builds a censorship infrastructure into the architecture of the internet.

Protect Athlete Rights: Vote No on the Protect College Sports Act

I'm writing to urge you to vote NO on the Protect College Sports Act.

Oppose the 16 & Up Social Media Act

Vote no on the 16 & Up Social Media Act. Introduced on September 11, 2026, by Reps. Houchin and Auchincloss, this bill doesn't just restrict teenagers — it builds an age-verification infrastructure that puts every adult's privacy at risk. The bill's language is the problem. It requires companies to
