From a constituent in Astoria, NY4/15

I’m writing in the hopes that you’ll urge Chief Manger of the Capitol Police to invoke emergency powers and activate the National Guard to remove DOGE before it destroys any more Federal agencies. The announcement on Tax Day that 22,000 more IRS employees are being pushed out is just too much. Not

Keep Trump from deporting US Citizens

On a hot mic, Trump just said to Bukele that “home-growns are next” for deportation to El Salvador. I shouldn’t have to tell you how horrifying this is, that Trump is expecting to send US citizens he disapproves of to a foreign prison. This is grounds for immediate impeachment and I expect my electe

Invest in the American People, Not ICE

I am writing to urge you to reject any proposed increase to ICE’s budget, including the alarming $45 billion plan for new private detention facilities. This expansion not only lacks accountability and oversight—it also funnels taxpayer money into systems known for human rights abuses. Meanwhile,

Stop The Trump Tariffs

I’m deeply concerned about the impact President Trump’s proposed import tax hikes will have on everyday Americans. These tariffs aren’t going to hit foreign companies—they’re going to hit us. Regular folks will feel it in the form of higher prices on just about everything: gas, groceries, clothes

From a constituent in Astoria, NY4/3

Say what you will about America; the one thing we can all agree on is no kings. Yesterday’s tariff reveal and today’s inevitable stock market crash just go to show how manifestly unfit for office he is. There’s no steering Trump; this is just going to get worse until he dies or is deposed. We must

Stop ICE Overreach

I am writing to demand immediate action to protect American citizens from the unchecked power of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the agency’s growing disregard for due process and basic human rights. Recent events have underscored the urgent need for congressional intervention t

Investigate Signal Breach

I’m writing to ask you to demand investigations into the Signal breach. Putting national defense information on Signal qualifies as gross negligence, which is a felony. This investigation can’t be done by the F.B.I. and D.O.J., since they have been politicized. We need an Independent Counsel. C

Stand Up for Free Speech

I’m writing about the abduction by federal agents of Rumeysa Ozturk, a Turkish PHD student at Tufts University. DHS is saying that they picked her up because she "engaged in activities in support of Hamas." What activities? As far as anyone knows all she did is co-author an editorial. Is that no

I’m writing to demand that you 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. Their actions have put our country at risk and immediate accountability is necessar

Speak out against ICE kidnappings

Every day seems to bring news of another resident and visa holder being disappeared by ICE for exercising their first amendment rights. I am asking that you take clear action against these atrocities. Free Khalil, Ozturk, and every other person ripped from the streets for speaking out for Palestine,

Prevent Trump from hoarding treasury money

This executive order would consolidate federal financial systems and payment processes under the Department of the Treasury, with the stated goals of increasing transparency, reducing fraud and improper payments, and improving operational efficiency. However, granting this level of centralized contr

Protect Education Department, Uphold Students' Rights and Opportunities

The Trump Administration's efforts to dismantle the U.S. Department of Education are deeply concerning and pose serious risks to students, educators, and the overall education system. The Department plays a critical role in distributing funding for key programs like federal student aid, supporting s

Free Mahmoud Khalil Now

I am writing to urge you to do everything in your power to secure the release from ICE custody of U.S. permanent resident and student activist Mahmoud Khalil.

Play Procedural Hardball

I am writing to ask you to use all the procedural tools available to them to stall Trump and Musk’s agenda in Congress and force them to negotiate. They are speeding our country down a dangerous path, and we cannot leave any option to slow them down on the table. That means forcing roll call vote
