NO Taxpayer Dollars for Trump’s Vanity Ballroom

I am writing as a deeply concerned constituent demanding that you immediately oppose any effort to use taxpayer funds for Donald Trump’s so-called “ballroom” project at the White House. Let’s be clear: this project has been surrounded by troubling actions from the start. Parts of the White House co

Another member of the President’s cabinet was asked to step away last week. Another woman, Lori Chavez-DeRemer, like Noem and Bondi before.

Trump Pardoned Men Who Beat Police. Now He’s Indicting for a Photo Seashells

On April 28, 2026, the DOJ indicted James Comey for the second time. The charge was posting a photo of seashells on a beach. The shells spelled “86 47.” Comey deleted the post the same day, writing that he didn’t know “some folks associate those numbers with violence” and that he “opposes violence o

Pass HR 2540: End the 35-Year Freeze on SSI Asset Limits

I am writing as your constituent to demand immediate action on the SSI Savings Penalty Elimination Act (S.1234 / H.R. 5408). While the Social Security Administration has announced a 2.8% Cost-of-Living Adjustment (COLA) for 2026, this "increase" is a mathematical illusion for most recipients. The $9

The Voting Rights Act Is Now a Hollow Shell — Congress Must Act

“Representative” On April 29, 2026, the Supreme Court issued its ruling in Louisiana v. Callais — a 6-3 decision along partisan lines that has effectively neutered Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. The court did not formally repeal the VRA. It did something arguably worse: it rewrote the

Pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act Now

I need you to co-sponsor and vote yes on the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act, H.R. 14. The Supreme Court just finished what it started in 2013: Louisiana v.

Congress is voting on whether to reauthorize Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, which would extend the federal government's power to secretly spy on Americans for years to come.

What is there left to do by the SCOTUS to make sure that they COMPLETELY destroy our voting rights? Give us some HOPE here. If we retake the house and senate can we force these judges to resign? Can we annul what damage they have done? This latest ruling is an abomination against all minorities.

The American people and, quite honestly the world, are exhausted by Trump's constant 24/7, social media rants, temper tantrums, AI memes, insanity, his violent rhetoric, and the list goes on and on. One does not govern via AI memes and social media temper tantrums and threats. The fact that the Re

Elephant in the Room

Juan, not mentioning the elephant-in-the-room war in Iran in your newsletters will not make it go away. The deleterious effect on the world economy and on Americans in particular is worth saying at least something. $25 billion spent so far, on a war while you and the rest of Congress are looking t
