World Court Decision

The World Court has ruled against Israel and confirmed it is an apartheid state harming Palestinians. What are you going to do about it? How will you hold this administration accountable? I will not be donating a single penny to any of the dozens of emails and text pleas from Democrats until the sup

Stop all military aid to Israel

I am furious that we, the United States, are still sending money and arms to Israel. While I applaud Senator Van Hollen’s efforts to get the Biden administration to look into the conduct of the Israeli military and possibly withhold funding, he and all of my representatives still signed a bill to s

Senators and Congressperson, I am writing again about whether the president should discontinue his campaign. I realize at this point there is great pressure to regroup behind the president's candidacy. But we don't yet know how this will end. For example, the president could have another poor per

As you think about how to address the party's crisis, I highly recommend a piece by Adam Grant of the Wharton School in the NYT this morning. He's an organizational psychologist and explains the concept of "escalation of commitment to a losing course of action." This is an insightful framework, an

Dear Senators Cardinand Van Hollen and Congressperson Raskin, I am writing again to strongly urge you to publicly call on President Biden to discontinue his campaign. The campaign's happy talk is non-sensical. They invoke the President's record and resiliency, as if the President is immune from th

SCOTUS Reform or Bust

In its recent decisions, the conservative Supreme Court has effectively given itself the final say over regulations - which are created by laws passed in Congress and ultimately finalized and enforced by Executive branch agencies. The SCOTUS majority has also decided that Presidents cannot be prosec

Time to Make it Dems vs. Trump Judges

In the past week, the conservative majority of the Supreme Court has arrogated to itself (and other courts stacked with conservative judges) final say over any regulatory authority. It has taken steps to kneecap executive branch agencies and their ability to serve the American people. It has declare

I am writing to implore you to have the courage to openly call for President Biden to discontinue his campaign. There is too much at stake to continue pretending and hoping that the President will not get any older over the next four years. But we all know aging is a dynamic, acclerating process,

Chevron Decision Means SCOTUS has Usurped the President

With the decision to overturn Chevron, the Supreme Court has usurped the regulatory powers of the executive branch and made the Justices (the conservative ones anyway) dictators. They have done this to a lesser extent for federal judges in circuit and appeals courts. This should be treated like the

KOSA Will Make Identity Theft More Common

If the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) is passed into law, it will require websites and services to use age verification for their users. (This is not necessarily because it’s explicitly in the text of the bill, it’s just the only way, practically speaking, for websites and services to comply.) Whethe
