Oppose Healthcare Cuts for Iran War Funding, Restore IRS Enforcement Instead

Vote against any healthcare cuts to fund the $200 billion request for military operations with Israel against Iran. This war has no clear purpose or goal, and stripping 300,000 more Americans of health insurance to pay for it is unconscionable. House Budget Committee Chair Jodey Arrington's prop

Vote against using budget reconciliation to fund military operations in Iran, ICE, and CBP. Americans are struggling with skyrocketing healthcare, food, and fuel prices. We need relief, not more cuts to safety net programs. Budget reconciliation requires new spending to be offset by equivalent cuts

I heard some interesting information today about Trump’s DOJ. It is about 5,000 people short of the normal staffing. There are several reasons: (in no particular order) 1. Firing of attorneys and staff who had worked on cases involving Trump in the prior administration, 2. Resignations of ethical a

Stop the “Reorganization” of the US Forest Service

War crimes? Not in our name. Not with our tax dollars. Congress needs to step up and stop enabling war crimes. Hegseth has given orders for war crimes and committed war crimes. His "no quarter" order is just one example. The strike against the school in Iran, the two tap hits on small ships in t

I urge you to immediately pass the Senate-approved funding bill for TSA, FEMA and all other DHS agencies that are not ICE and Border Patrol. These agencies should not be held hostage and used for political games while Congress negotiates changes for ICE and Border Patrol.
