Reject Harmful Tariffs, Support Fair Tax Reforms for Middle Class

The Trump administration's plan to impose massive across-the-board tariffs on imports represents an enormous tax increase that will be paid by American businesses and consumers, not by other countries as claimed. Independent analyses estimate this could be the largest peacetime tax hike in U.S. hist

Immediate resignations of Hegserh and Walz.

Please take action and demand the immediate resignations of National Security Advisor Mike Waltz and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. Their use of Signal to plot defense measures is far beyond a 'mishap'. As far as I can tell, top members of the administration: a) illegally distributed sensitive gove

I understand that the acting head of the Social Security Administration is threatening to shut down the whole agency because Elon Musk disagrees with yesterday’s court ruling. What the hell is happening? Get Musk and his goons out of Social Security! 73 million of us rely on those earned benefits. W

Uphold court order, halt unlawful deportations, protect civil liberties.

The Trump administration's flagrant disregard for judicial orders and the rule of law represents a severe threat to American democracy and civil liberties. By defying a clear court ruling prohibiting the deportation of Venezuelans, the administration undermines the vital system of checks and balance

Separation of Powers

The President of the United States is not above the law. Trump’s refusal to act according to legal rulings is concerning at a minimum, terrifying when taken to its extreme. While the powers of the Executive branch were clearly laid out in the Constitution, it is essential that he be reminded that no

Reject unilateral executive overreach, uphold democratic norms and accountability.

The continuing resolution passed by Congress represents a concerning erosion of democratic norms and the separation of powers that underpins our system of government. While shutdown threats have been a regrettable political tactic in the past, the current administration's overreach and disregard for

Disappointment in Durbin's Support for Trump's Spending Bill

I am disappointed that Senator Dick Durbin voted in favor of the spending bill, effectively supporting President Trump's ability to make spending cuts and rig the government against the interests of the working class. While Durbin acknowledges there is little to like about this resolution, his vote

First Amendment Rights

Now is the time to speak out against the treatment of Mahmoud Khalil. His being detained with the possibility of having his legal status revoked as punishment for protesting is a direct threat to all of our first amendment rights. Further, the “measured” response I have seen from Sen. Schumer has

Note no on appropriations bill!

The Republican spending proposal cuts $13 billion from vital public services like housing, nutrition, and healthcare programs that support our communities. It enables the administration's harmful firing blitz across federal agencies, undermining the government's ability to serve the people. This par

There’s new evidence that Musk and his team of college students are accessing Americans’ most private data at the Social Security Administration in ways that are both dangerous and wildly inappropriate. It’s the largest data leak in American history and all of us are exposed. Even worse, people who’

Stop the ignorant purge of our military history

The attempt to remove diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) content from military materials is severely misguided. This purge approach unjustly targets and disrespects the invaluable contributions of women, minorities, and underrepresented groups to our nation's armed forces. Historical records doc

The status of schools and churches relative to immigration enforcement

Immigrant children are here through no fault of their own and have a moral and legal right to an education without fear or discrimination. Allowing immigration enforcement in sensitive locations like schools and places of worship unjustly terrorizes these vulnerable children and creates an atmospher

Support Ukraine's defense against Russian invasion, promote democracy

Steadfast American support for Ukraine's defense remains essential, especially as our allies provide substantial financial and military contributions. Russia initiated this unjustified invasion in an attempt to trample democracy and Ukraine's sovereignty. Failing to reinforce Ukraine with robust mil
