Sen. Alejandro Padilla
I just read that the House of Representatives just passed a bill that would subject immigrant children to invasive bodily searches and keep them in detention instead of releasing them to their families. The Senate must vote no on this horrific bill.
I’m writing today to urge action to protect NCAR. This is being done by the NSF at Russell Vought's direction to protect the fossil fuel industry. It's hard to communicate just how much NCAR does, and all the scientific discoveries NCAR has made possible. Please do what you can to stop the further
Schumer could’ve stopped the ACA cred expiration but didn’t. Remove him.
We know when it comes down to it he’s not going to do what’s actually in his power to benefit the American people. Eight out of ten senators can stand up there and talk so it’s not hard to find someone better.
I’m writing to urge you to vote NO on H.R. 3492 and H.R. 498. Trans people deserve access to safe, affirming health care, and decisions about our bodies should be made by patients and medical professionals, not politicians. The Trump administration's attacks on trans healthcare access are part of an
Vote NO on H.R. 3492 and H.R. 498
I am writing to urge you to vote NO on H.R. 3492 and H.R. 498, two dangerous and discriminatory bills that would cause real harm to transgender and intersex youth, their families, and the medical professionals who care for them. These bills place politicians between patients, families, and doctors
Support H.R. 6088 to Prevent $200 Billion in SNAP Cuts
I urge you to support H.R. 6088, the Restoring Food Security for American Families and Farmers Act, which would reverse the nearly $200 billion in cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program scheduled to begin next year under H.R. 1. These cuts threaten the food security of 16 million chil
Oppose Trump Reclassification of Nursing Degrees - Protect Healthcare Workforce
Today I take pen in hand to write and to urge you to oppose the Trump Administration's reclassification of advanced practice nursing, occupational therapy, physical therapy, and other healthcare degrees as non-professional degrees. This policy change will eliminate programs like Grad PLUS, cap fed
Thank you for voting against the Laken Riley Act. This Act has made things even worse for our immigrant neighbors. After passage of the Act vastly more people have been put in detention. The conditions in detention are reported to be extremely harsh and inhumane. People are dying in these detention
Reject KOSA
I’m writing to urge you to reject the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA), a dangerous bill that would put vulnerable young people at risk. KOSA fails to address the root issues related to kids’ safety online. Unless the “duty of care” language is removed to stop government censorship of content, KOSA rem
Please support legislation to block the Trump regime from committing US forces to an illegal war in Venezuela. There is absolutely no basis for this belligerent action despite what we may think of Venezuelan dictator Maduro. I think it’s pretty clear that Trump is interested in seizing Venezuela’s o
I read that Pete Hegseth is refusing to release the boat strike footage to the Senate. He is required to do so and you should raise holy hell until he does! These boat strikes are being done under highly questionable justification and the killing of survivors is clearly a war crime and clearly murde
Restore USAID Funding & International Aid Programs
The February 2025 executive action eliminating 90% of USAID contracts has already resulted in hundreds of thousands of deaths worldwide from hunger, untreated illness, and collapsed health services. I urge you to immediately restore USAID funding, reopen these critical programs, and save lives. T
Prevent Gun Violence
I’m writing to demand that Congress act on gun violence NOW. Australia saw a horrific mass shooting this weekend and their government is already in action, preparing a special session in which they will tighten their gun laws. What are we doing here? 46,000 people die from gun violence every year in
Demand Full Transparency and Regulation of Dark Money Organizations
I am writing to urge you to support legislation that would regulate or outlaw dark money spending in politics and require full transparency in political advocacy organizations. The recent announcement of Senator Josh Hawley and Erin Hawley's Love Life Initiative highlights the urgent need for reform
Protect America’s Workforce Act THIS WEEK
Trump’s executive order to gut federal workers’ collective bargaining rights was the worst act of union-busting in American history. Since then, his administration has expanded the order to cover even more workers and canceled the union contracts of more than half a million federal workers at agenci
Stop Billionaire Media Monopolies
I am writing to urge you to scrutinize-and if necessary block any media merger that would concentrate control of major American news organizations in the hands of a small group of politically connected billionaires. Reports that Paramount(CBS News), backed by tech billionaire Larry Ellison, has m
Demand Enforcement and Strengthening of Inspector General Act
I am writing to demand immediate action to enforce and strengthen the Inspector General Act. The mass firing of inspectors general has created a dangerous accountability vacuum in federal agencies at the precise moment when oversight is most critical. Inspectors general were established by Congress
On Wednesday, H.R. 3492 will be brought to vote. This bill further entrenches federal government in medical exam rooms and threatens doctor-patient confidentiality. Furthermore, it is harmful to children who need this lifesaving care. I can’t imagine how my transgender daughter’s life would be diffe
Stop Allowing The Mass Surveillance Of Americans!
Stop trying to ram through 18 mass censorship and surveillance bills. -NO to KOSA -NO to Section 230 reform -NO online digital ID laws -NO age verification laws -NO to the SCREEN Act -NO to the App Store Accountability Act (digital ID system)
I’m so tired of Schumer’s s***. Please install a new leader now.
He’s way too little and 30 years too late. Worse, he’s actively harmful and abetting the Republicans and Trump. Fire him comfortably before Christmas. Or certainly by the 1st. Time is short.
H.R. 3492, is a cruel and dangerous bill that would impose a nationwide ban on gender-affirming medical care for transgender minors and criminalize healthcare providers and parents who offer this care. This care is vital. Please protect tran minors and those who care for them by opposing H.R. 3492
Reject KOSA
I am urging you to STOP the passage of the Kids Online Safety Act. This bill imposes unnecessary and harmful restrictions and censorship on the internet, essentially serving as a digital burning of books, while hiding behind the claim of “protecting kids”. KOSA won’t make kids more safe. Instead, i
I urge you to oppose the National Defense Authorization Act unless dangerous provisions that weaken aviation safety and oversight are removed. The United States is already on track to spend nearly $1 trillion on defense, accounting for almost 40% of global military spending. A bill of this magnitud
TRUMP POST ABOUT DOUBLE HOMOCIDE
Trump's post about Rob Reiner and Michele Singer is beyond bad taste and crass. He's implying their death was caused in some mysterious way by him. This needs to be called out and possibly investigated. It's up to you, our elected officials, to not let the Overton Window shift where he is above all
Protect NASA Science Funding for NEO Surveyor and Planetary Defense
I am writing to urge you to protect NASA's science budget and ensure robust funding for missions like the NEO Surveyor spacecraft, scheduled to launch in September 2027. This mission represents exactly the kind of critical work that requires sustained public investment in NASA's scientific capabilit
I am writing as I grieve with the families traumatized and robbed of their children by yet another school shooting. It doesn't (and shouldn't) be this way. Yet again, it’s the guns . I urge you to reinstate a federal assault weapons ban by co-sponsoring the GOSAFE Act (H.R. 2790/S.1370) and OPPOSE t
Impeach & Remove the Pedophile
Impeach and remove this corrupt, criminal pedophile, vile, cruel, brain addled president before it is too late.

I am writing to urge you to launch a comprehensive investigation into the Department of Government Efficiency's destruction of the U.S. Agency for International Development and to enact safeguards preventing similar unaccountable government overhauls in the future. In February, Elon Musk was appoin
Request for Senator Schumer to Step Down from Leadership
