Memorial Day 2026. Our president stood up and talked about himself. Instead of displaying compassion, reverence or empathy to the families of fallen soldiers, he want on his typical rant. The president of our country needs to show respect for fallen soldiers. You know those soldiers died to pro

CHP Amber Alerts & Other State Alerts Should Not Direct People to X

I want to urge the State to have emergency alerts link to a secure, privacy-respecting site on the open web rather than a private-sector social media platform. CHP has its own website, for example. X is especially bad, and not just because it nominally requires an account to view posts. Yesterday I

NDAs for Federal Workers: Unnecessary, Dangerous, and Unconstitutional

I'm writing as your constituent to ask you to push back on the Trump administration's proposed NDAs for all federal employees. This is not about protecting national security. The government already has classification systems, security clearance agreements, and federal law — including the Espionage

Shut down ICE detention centers - defund ICE and CBP - protect the people

I’m horrified at what’s happening at Delaney Hall in New Jersey and at detention centers across the country. Inmates are getting rotten food, being denied medical care, being verbally abused by guards, and being denied legal help. On top of that ICE agents are abusing protesters and pepper spraying

Stop the Systematic Dismantling of Our Democracy

The fundamental integrity of our democracy is at risk. Public institutions—designed to be stable, objective, and superior to the individuals who temporarily hold office—are being systematically hollowed out and replaced by a framework of personal loyalty. This is a structural dismantling of the Rule

Stop Trump's money dumps

I thoroughly oppose Trump’s 1.8 billion dollar slush fund, his 1 billion dollar ballroom, and his 70 billion dollar reconciliation bill. Two-thirds of Americans say the country is going in the wrong direction and 70% disapprove of Trump’s handling of the economy. Consumer sentiment has sunk to the l

Stop Providing Cover for Criminals: Fix ICE/CBP Identification Standards

Congressional failure to rein in lax law enforcement identification standards is fueling a public-safety crisis. By allowing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to conduct operations masked, in plainclothes, in unmarked vehicles, and with generic "POLICE

300 kidnapped people being held in the Delaney Hall concentration camp in New Jersey are saying they’re being tortured by ICE. I believe them. Release everyone in that concentration camp, shut down ICE then hold every ICE goon accountable starting with Stephen Miller.

Support the Perry-García ALPR Amendment at Thursday's Markup

Sign onto the Perry-García amendment at Thursday's Transportation and Infrastructure Committee markup.

Please oppose HB4117. I understand that lawmakers are negotiating on just how awful this bill can get. Couched as a way to "protect religious freedom," this bill would make protesting a "religious gathering" or "religious activity" a felony.  The definition of religious gathering/activity is left

The South Lawn Cage Fight Killed the Ballroom Security Excuse

Do Not Pass the CLARITY Act Without Critical Safeguards

Low IQ Person

Trump demonstrates a low cognitive ability. A 2017 analysis by language researchers found his speeches often fall around a 4th–6th grade reading level, which is lower than most recent presidents demonstrated by the basic word choice and over repetition of these words and phrases: • “Tremendous” •

Ban Paraquat Now

Ban paraquat. This herbicide is linked to Parkinson's disease, banned in over 70 countries including the EU and China, and still legal here. The EPA had the chance to act in October 2020 and instead re-approved it for another decade. That was the wrong call, and Congress needs to correct it. Nearly
