From a constituent in Sunnyside, NYStep down, Senator Schumer
For Senator Schumer: The democrats need strong leadership at this time. Leadership that is not afraid to be seen treating Musk and Trumps actions as the attack on our country that they are. Our government is being ripped apart, and here you are clinging to the shreds of a rule book that the republic
From a constituent in Brooklyn, NYI urge you to reject H.R. 425, the Repealing Big Brother Overreach Act.

From a constituent in Brooklyn, NYRestore funding for school, community local food programs
The USDA's decision to cancel around $1 billion in funding for the Local Food for Schools and Local Food Purchase Assistance Cooperative Agreement programs is deeply concerning.

The Social Security Administration's proposal to eliminate telephone support for claims processing and direct-deposit account transactions poses a significant threat to millions of elderly and disabled Americans who rely on these phone services to access their benefits. Reducing or cutting off this
From a verified voter in Astoria, NYVote no on stop gap resolution
I am a constituent in Astoria, NY and I am writing to request that the senator vote against the House-passed Continuing Resolution. This resolution cuts vital programs and Washington D.C.'s budget and does not stop Elon Musk's control of our government. Congress must take back their constitutional p
From a constituent in Long Island City, NYProtect environmental justice offices from EPA reorganization
The internal memo from EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin directing "the reorganization and elimination" of all environmental justice offices across the agency's regional and national offices signals a concerning shift in priorities.

From a constituent in Long Island City, NYBolster Department of Education, oppose dismantling agency
As a constituent, I am deeply concerned by the Trump administration's decision to lay off nearly half of the Department of Education's workforce. This is a disturbing development that brings the administration closer to fulfilling its ill-advised campaign promise of shutting down the entire agency.
From a constituent in Long Island City, NYInvestigate Mahmoud Khalil's Deportation Case Thoroughly, Uphold Civil Liberties

From a constituent in Brooklyn, NYThe current administration's proposed budget cuts pose a severe threat to the well-being and support systems for our nation's veterans. Slashing over 80,000 jobs at the Department of Veterans Affairs will dramatically undermine the agency's ability to provide quality healthcare and vital services to
From a constituent in Ridgewood, NYNo votes on the continuing budget resolution. In the senate, it mustn't even come to a vote. No votes until DOGE is dissolved and the authority of the budget is returned to congress. Let the government shut down. This sort of executive overreach *should* shut down the government.
From a constituent in Astoria, NYWhat did you do this week?
Hi fam! I’m upset with the current state of our “democracy” and not very pleased with the direction our country’s government and leadership are going. I’m a municipal government employee and I’m disgusted by what you’re allowing Elon Musk to do to the federal workforce. In the same way that Elon mus

From a constituent in Brooklyn, NYReinstate NASA diversity content, advance inclusivity for progress
The decision to remove content related to women in leadership roles and other key diversity and inclusion initiatives from NASA's websites is deeply concerning.

The Trump administration's recent executive order to expand logging across 280 million acres of national forests and public lands is a blatant attempt to exploit these protected areas for profit. This action ignores scientific evidence, endangers vulnerable species, and jeopardizes the ecological in
From a constituent in Brooklyn, NYReinstate expert food safety advisory committees immediately
President Trump's decision to eliminate the National Advisory Committee on Microbiological Criteria for Foods (NACMCF) and the National Advisory Committee on Meat and Poultry Inspection (NACMPI) is a major setback for food safety in the United States.

From a constituent in Brooklyn, NYNEA's unconstitutional constraint on artistic freedom of expression
The new certification requirement and funding prohibition imposed by the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) on grant applicants is a concerning violation of First Amendment rights.

From a constituent in Brooklyn, NYUnite the party! Fight & don’t censure our representatives for protest.
The vote to censure Rep. Al Green was a regrettable display of disunity among Democrats. While reasonable people may disagree on the appropriateness of his protest, party leadership should have united members against this harsh rebuke. Green's actions, however disruptive, stemmed from sincere concer
From a constituent in Brooklyn, NYReject cuts to National Park Service staffing, funding
The Trump administration's actions to fire over 1,000 National Park Service employees and push for further downsizing threaten to undermine the operations and accessibility of America's treasured national parks.

From a constituent in Brooklyn, NYI strongly oppose the proposal to lift sanctions on Russia.
