Vote down HR1 murder budget, it slashes climate and clean energy

The "One Big Beautiful Bill" Act (H.R. 1) is a devastating attack on clean energy progress and environmental protections in America. It would repeal key provisions of the Inflation Reduction Act, slashing investments in clean energy tax credits, home rebates, and the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund.

Demand RFK Jr resignation, restore evidence-based policymaking at HHS

Members of Congress must stand united against the authoritarian suppression exemplified by Senator Alex Padilla's unjust detention. His rightful attempt to seek accountability from Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem on the crucial issue of immigration enforcement should not have been met with p

Senator Padilla forced to the ground at a press conference. Are you ready for impeachment NOW? Asking for a country.

If I were you, I would be making speeches to all of the Boston media outlets regarding tRump’s deployment of US military to US cities. If I were you, I would be out there stating that this is the very tipping moment for our country. If I were you… But I’m not you. Please step up or get out of the wa

Demand R-TN Rep Green step down for undisclosed, conflicting private-sector job

Protect affordable healthcare access, extend ACA tax credits

The Affordable Care Act provides crucial healthcare access to millions of Americans, yet it faces grave threats that must be resolutely opposed.

Rein in authoritarian Trump regime, stop National Guard deployment

The excessive use of force and escalation by deploying 2,000 National Guard troops against protesters in Los Angeles is an alarming authoritarian overreach by the President and his regime.

What are your thoughts on impeachment now? We REALLY deserve an answer.

Stop Trump and his illegal authorization of troops in California

The National Guard has arrived in Los Angeles, but they were not requested by California. Both Governor Newsom and Mayor Bass made it clear that the state did not authorize or want federal troops deployed. Under normal circumstances, the president cannot federalize a state’s National Guard without t

The takeover of the California national guard by the Trump administration is a clear violation of the insurrection act. Insurrection has not been declared, yet Gavin Newsom’s control of his state’s national guard has been removed. This CAN NOT stand. You are our last defense in this very serious sit

Denounce neo-Nazi group "The Base", counter domestic terrorism

Investigate and dismantle DOGE

The blowup between Elon and Trump hasn’t ended DOGE, it’s still expanding. Russ Vought now plans to institutionalize DOGE across the federal government, and Elon’s staffers are embedded deep within key agencies. At the Department of Energy, a former DOGE member is serving as chief of staff. At the

Codify EMTALA: Protect emergency abortion access and womens' lives

Restore staffing at the BLS

Scrutinize Unqualified CP3 Appointment, Uphold National Security Oversight

The recent appointment of Thomas Fugate, a 22-year-old with no national security expertise, to oversee the Department of Homeland Security's Center for Prevention Programs and Partnerships (CP3) is deeply concerning.

Fully fund Fair Housing Initiatives Program to combat discrimination

Reject illegal DOGE funding cuts, reassert congressional spending authority

Trump's request for retroactive congressional approval of DOGE's illegal funding cuts is an outrageous overstep that must be rejected outright. DOGE's unilateral withholding of congressionally appropriated funds violated the Impoundment Control Act and the Constitution's Appropriations Clause. Gra

Pride Month: Defend LGBTQ rights, equality for all Americans, pass Equality Act

Protect Alaskan wilderness

Revoke Trump regime's anti-union, anti-worker executive orders

Congress must take immediate action to rescind the Trump regime's egregious executive orders that erode the rights of civil service workers and undermine their unions. These orders represent a blatant assault on workers' fundamental freedoms and the very foundation of our democracy. The facts are

Protect democracy, rein in Trump regime's abuse of power: impeach now

The actions taken by the Trump regime in its first 115 days are a blatant abuse of power and an assault on core democratic principles.

Restore NIH funding

Pass legislation protecting our data get Palantir out of it

Peter Thiel’s company, Palantir, is helping the Trump administration build the very thing they claim to be fighting, a centralized surveillance state. And yes, it’s real. Big Brother is here. Step 1: Trump’s Executive Order In March 2025, Trump signed an executive order forcing all federal agenci

Reject "gold standard" politicization of science, defend scientific integrity

The May 23rd 'Gold Standard Science' executive order is a direct attack on scientific integrity and open discourse. Under the guise of promoting "gold standard science," it enables political interference and censorship of valuable scientific research by handing control over scientific integrity poli

ABA ratings need to be used to evaluate judge picks

The Trump administration just made it harder to know if federal judges are actually qualified. For decades, the American Bar Association (ABA) has helped vet judicial nominees by reviewing private bar records and interviewing colleagues. Based on that, they give each nominee a public rating, like “

Immediately restore funding for critical weather and climate research programs.

Climate change and extreme weather events pose grave threats to human lives, property, and the economy.

Reinstate the Moderna bird flue contract

The Trump administration has just canceled a nearly $600 million contract with Moderna that was meant to develop a bird flu vaccine. This decision wipes out early access to vaccine doses in the event of a pandemic and undoes a key preparedness agreement put in place in January. It also tosses aside
