I heard that Congress is going to put together a new reconciliation bill. It will include more funding for ICE, CBP, and Trump’s illegal war in Iran. I am totally AGAINST funding any of this and hope you are too. What's worse, the funding for ICE; CBP, and the war would be paid for by even more cuts to Medicaid! . I am so angry about these inclusions in a new Reconciliation Bill!! ICE and CBP are nothing mire than violent thugs who are detaining people with legal status to be here and undocumented immigrants with no criminal records in centers with awful conditions. I don't want to see them funded!! The "military action" in Iran is immoral and an illegal war. I don't want it funded - I want it ended! My granddaughter receives Medicaid and needs it! I don't want to see any cuts!!! I expect you to oppose any more funding for ICE, CBP, or the Pentagon, and any more cuts to Medicaid. I’ll be watching this vote closely as it is personal to me! Second, I strongly urge you to support S. 4115, the BETS OFF Act. This will regulate prediction markets and block insider trading. We need to stop government insiders from manipulating political events for big personal profits! Political wagering on prediction market platforms can be easily abused, and restrictions need to be enacted NOW! Finally, please co-sponsor and work to pass Senator Mark Kelly's PEACE ACT: S4278 which will prohibit federal funds from being appropriated or made available to the "Board of Peace" without a separate act of Congress specifically authorizing it the Board of Peace—an unaccountable international organization with President Trump as chairman that he is using to funnel over a billion dollars in American taxpayer money with no congressional oversight, treaty, or guardrails. The Trump administration designated the Board of Peace as a public international organization in January 2026 and has since transferred $1.25 billion in federal funds meant for international disaster relief and peacekeeping operations—without congressional authorization or appropriation. Board of Peace was NOT established by treaty or an act of Congress, unlike every other international organization the United States funds. Despite using taxpayer money, it is not accountable to the American people. And I am particularly angry that the funding for the Board of Peace has been taken out of funds appropriated by Congress for international disaster relief. This bill will rein in illegal executive expenditure and is necessary, appropriate, and aligned with your sworn oath to defend the constitution. Please co-sponsor, support and vote for S4278, The PEACE ACT. Thank you.
