Uphold Constitutional Principles and Rule of Law

The Constitution represents the supreme law to which all government officials must adhere.

Please continue to support NPR, PBS, and USAID. There is an incoming request to defund these projects, but they are vital to our democracy.

Stop bad nominees; investigate errors: Hegseth is your mistake

Hegseth was a huge problem before confirmation. You knew it. You supported him anyway. No defense secrets have been leaked; the pentagon is reportedly in disarray, and Hegseth is probably on his way out. Good people have been fired. Our national security is at risk. Do better. The next time you’re

Support habeas corpus and fundamental freedoms

It makes me sick to read about the prisons in El Salvador. The photographs are horrifying. The human soul can not abide such horror. Stop deportations to prisons. Stop ICE. Protect our basic freedoms. No for-profit prisons. No payment to other countries to house prisoners. No detention without

Vote no on save act

I am asking you to protect the right to vote by voting 'NO' on the SAVE Act when it comes to the floor. Our right to vote is our most central civil right, and the SAVE Act would make it unreasonably harder, even impossible, for tens of millions of Americans and Kansans to vote, including 69 millio

Protect Americans from Tyranny

The president of El Salvador said he would be willing to take American citizens in his federal prison population. President Trump said, “I love that.” It doesn’t take a scholar to remember these words from the Declaration of Independence: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are c

Stop tariffs. Save the stock market and retirement accounts

Restore USAID FUNDING; impeach Trump for impoundment

Shuttering USAID is causing deaths. It's not just unconstitutional impoundment of appropriated funds: it's also depraved and a danger to Americans. USAID prevents deaths by vaccine programs, by distributing tuberculosis treatment and AIDS medicines. Withdrawing the funds for those programs causes

Prioritize democracy
