From a constituent in Santa Cruz, CAEvery gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientis
From a verified voter in Pebble Beach, CAIf the truth in advertising rules applied to political campaigns, the “Save America Act” would have to be relabeled the “Save Donald Trump Act”. This thinly disguised bill is actually the Republicans’ latest and most expansive voter suppression bill. Remember Sarah Huckabee Sanders? Karoline Leavit
From a verified voter in Pebble Beach, CAAre you better off today than on Jan.19, 2025? 1-3% of the country might say yes, the rest of us, probably no. Although that 1-3% might be swallowing Tums after look at their stock portfolios. Trump hasn’t brought down inflation as he promised. Gas prices did decline a little, but his unauthorized w
From a verified voter in Pebble Beach, CAThe “Peace President” is at it again. This is the president who desperately wants the Nobel Peace medal because Obama earned one, so he claimed he ended eight wars.

From a verified voter in Pebble Beach, CA“Promises Made, Promises Broken” should be the new slogan from the Trump administration. Prices haven’t gone down from day 1, and in general life is less affordable thsn when he came in. “The worst of the worst” illegal immigrants have not been deported. Many innocent and legal immigrants and even U
From a verified voter in Pebble Beach, CAHas Trump, who claims he has ended 8 wars, finally started the BIG one - WW 3? He has bombed Iran, killing not only the supreme leader but a whole slew of other highly placed individuals. WW1 only took one assassination. Iran, predictably fired back at US targets in the Middle East and Israel. For g
From a verified voter in Santa Cruz, CAVote on Revealing Sexual Misconduct?
Rep. Panetta... how did you vote on the bill to reveal house members with sexual misconduct charges?
From a verified voter in Pebble Beach, CAIf Trump tries to declare a national “emergency” due to an “imminent action” against the US mainland, we will need more than his intuition to back that up. We will need similar intelligence assessments from other trusted, reliable allies (that excludes Netanyahu as a source). We have already seen wh
From a verified voter in Pebble Beach, CAThe Trump administration can’t keep its lies straight. Last summer they announced that Iran’s nuclear capability had been “obliterated “. Now the story is that they still had nuclear work going on and would be a threat in months if not weeks. On Monday, Marco Rubio told reporters that the US was aw
From a verified voter in Pebble Beach, CATexas Republican party is practicing their voter suppression tactics already. Normally each county decides whether there are county-wide election polling places or whether voters had to vote at their specific polling site. The Dallas County GOP wanted the specific site voting ( both parties have to
From a verified voter in Pebble Beach, CASNAFU is the word for today. No clarity, no clear plan for the next steps, Israel and Iran still exchanging fire, 3 US jets downed by friendly fire (fortunately no casualties in that case). Israel has expanded the war into Lebanon. This was no quick precision strike with a clear outcome. Trump says
From a verified voter in Pebble Beach, CAThe longer the Iran situation remains unresolved, the longer the potential voter suppression actions and the Epstein files lack attention. Who knows what is happening on those fronts while Iran is on the front burner. The Trump administration is counting on the fact that the US congress can’t walk a
From a verified voter in Pebble Beach, CAPressure is mounting to release the rest of the Epstein files, some of which seem to be getting closer to exposing criminal activity by Trump. So what does he do? He dangles a shiny bauble to distract our attention our attention and dominate the news cycles. He starts a war with Iran with no proof o
From a verified voter in Pebble Beach, CATrump is doing it again. He is again violating the Constitution and launching a war against Iran. He has declared that he wants to destroy their military and force regime change. As a result Iran is retaliating against US forces in the area and against our allies in the area. All of this without con
From a verified voter in Castroville, CASupport H. Con. Res. 38
I would like the Congressmember to support H. Con. Res. 38, the bipartisan war powers resolution, and stop the Trump administration from launching military strikes on Iran without congressional authorization.

From a constituent in Santa Cruz, CAVote no on safeguard American Voter Eligibility
vote no on the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act (S.128) and the SAVE America Act (S. 1383), which would make it harder for eligible Americans to vote. I cannot overstate how opposed I am to these bills. Vote no.
From a verified voter in Pebble Beach, CARep. Tony Gonzales of Texas should resign or be expelled from the House of Representatives immediately. He violated a rule prohibiting relationships between members of Congress and their staff. The fact that he faces a difficult primary (good) or that the GOP has a very slim margin in the House shou
From a verified voter in Pebble Beach, CAIf you haven’t seen them, check out the posts by Farron Cousins. He does some good research to come up with interesting ideas. In the latest, he cites a French economist who suggests that the way to cripple Trump is not to impose tariffs against the US as a whole, but to target the billionaires who
From a verified voter in Pebble Beach, CARyan Schwank, a former ICE instructor, said it best. The training the recruits get at the ICE academy in Georgia is “…deficient, defective and broken”. In their zeal to rush the new recruits out to the field, the Trump administration has slashed 240 hours from the originally mandated 584 hours of th
From a verified voter in Pebble Beach, CAThere is a new item to add to the list of reasons to impeach Pam Bondi. In addition to her perjury in congressional hearings, she is in flagrant violation of the Hatch Act.

From a constituent in Santa Cruz, CACall for Resignation of Supreme Court Justices Facing Credible Allegations
I am writing to urge you to publicly call for the resignation of Supreme Court justices who face credible allegations of sexual misconduct. The integrity of our highest court depends on public confidence that justices meet the highest ethical standards, and that confidence has been severely damaged.
From a verified voter in Pebble Beach, CAIf Trump tries to award himself the Medal of Honor, that should be the final signal to invoke the 25th Amendment. A 5-time draft dodger getting the military’s highest honor should be enough to finally convince the cabinet that he is completely around the bend and he is nowhere near the same zip code

From a constituent in Santa Cruz, CARepeal $75B in funding for DHS. Shut down ICE completely. Give other agencies back their staff so that HSI can go back to its important work investigating gang and chip trafficking activity, FBI agents can go back to their investigations, as well as DEA, ATF, etc. Fully fund FEMA to actually protect
From a verified voter in Pebble Beach, CAThe Democrats insistence on judicial warrants for ICE to enter private property is not political, it is constitutional. The 4th Amendment of the constitution guarantees that authorities must secure judicial warrants for searches, not just administrative warrants issued by DHS or ICE. It assures ther
From a verified voter in Pebble Beach, CAThe FBI must share its findings in the Good and Pretti killings in Minnesota. There must be accountability, otherwise the Trump administration is guilty of refusing to help enforce “law and order”, which it claims to be a major pillar of its agenda. Refusing to share the information means the admini
From a constituent in Seaside, CANo CECOTS in the USA! Don't allow DHS funding for prisons and concentration camps. Humans have rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Our constitution is not a piece of paper to be crushed and thrown away. No CECOTs anywhere!
From a verified voter in Pebble Beach, CAStop DOJ from demanding blue states voter rolls. Nothing good can come from Trump’s pet DOJ from combining through and possibly altering voter data or possibly targeting voters.
