Mahmoud Kahlil

I’m extremely concerned by the illegal ICE arrest of green card holder and nonviolent protester Mahmoud Kahlil. No one should have their citizen status revoked for using their first amendment right. Protesting the genocide in Gaza is not a pro-terrorism stance nor is it a threat to anyone. The fact

ICE perpetrating humanitarian crimes - attorneys being punished

These are humanitarian crimes perpetrated by the US government. Please increase all efforts to stop them, and to stop ICE raids on everyone.

Maintain crucial Public Service Loan Forgiveness program commitments

The Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) program is crucial for dedicated public servants who have sacrificed higher-paying private sector jobs to serve their communities. Eliminating this program would upend the lives of millions who have spent years working toward loan forgiveness in good faith.

Protect Social Security from Trump and Musk! As a senior who depends on Social Security for a significant part of my income, I am extremely concerned about the meddling that has been going on in the Social Security department.

There is so much I want to unpack here, but I’ll leave it to one subject at a time. This one is tied to trans rights. I am a friend of the LGBTQ+ community.

Stop Tariffs with CAN and MX

The decision to impose 25% tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico is counterproductive and will likely harm American consumers and businesses. These close trading partners are not the source of illegal drug flows into the United States, and punitive tariffs will only increase costs for American c

Steadfast Support for Ukraine's Self-Determination Against Russian Aggression

The United States should stand firmly with our ally Ukraine in the face of Russian aggression and reject any attempts to coerce Ukraine into territorial concessions or abandoning its NATO aspirations.

Vote no for English as official language

English should not be designated as the ONLY official language since it was the language of the colonizers.

Trump is an absolute embarrassment and disgrace to our country and has made me ashamed to be an American. The way he treated Zelensky today was a total embarrassment. Trump is a Russian asset and needs to be removed from office immediately.
