Dems need to jointly & emphatically condemn Trump calling Omar & Somalis garbage

Trump, the President, went full racist on national television and called Rep. Omar and all Somalis garbage. The Democrats need to be unified in condemning the real garbage and in particular in defending Black Americans and members of Congress, who this administration are increasingly shameless about

Remove Schumer from leadership and save your own credibility

Schumer is an albatross for your party and every day you don’t oppose him is a blow to your own credibility. The corruption is disgusting all around Congress and on the verge of dooming this country.

Support Rep. Thanedar’s articles of impeachment & remove Hegseth

Hegseth posted that he’s had another alleged drug trafficking boat sunk, in response to a Tweet from Turning Point USA. Get rid of this war criminal f*** now. This on top of the Signalgate report.

End Congress Stock Trading

Please do everything in your power to thank and support the effort to end day trading in Congress, and at every level of government. The discharge petition filed by Rep. Luna of FL should have your full support. Trading based on information only legislators and government actors have access to is e

Gaza and retirement

I realize I haven’t been writing as much lately because I trust you to do the thing I would do on most subjects. I so appreciate that! One of your weak areas is speaking out on the Gaza genocide. Please please please speak out loud and often! And I would also like to respectfully ask you to retire a

I fully support the articles of impeachment against Pete Hegseth. He is not qualified for the job of Secretary of Defense (or War, as he ridiculously styles himself.) He is culpable in the “Signalgate” scandal. Literally anyone would know that sharing information about a planned attack shouldn’t be

I’m writing to urge you to take immediate action to stop the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s new effort to undo the Biden-era rule that keeps medical debt off credit reports. That rule gave millions of Americans a fair chance to recover financially after illness or injury by preventing medica

I am a member of Indivisible Westside Los Angeles. I am writing today to urge that you agitate to begin impeachment proceedings against Pete Hegseth. He has ordered our military to commit murder by ordering strikes on Venezuelan boats, including to kill survivors (some are calling them war crimes,

I’m writing to you today to ask that you start hearings on ICE and DHS media practices and the use of official government accounts and our tax dollars to promote dehumanizing propaganda. We must have transparency on how these videos are produced, approved and distributed. More and more the atmospher

No Congressional stock ownership, cover for Cuellar, or Schumer in leadership

Hakeem Jeffries’ defense of Henry Cuellar and Trump’s pardon of him was disgusting to see and a good way to lose another election. Please start rooting out the corruption in both parties by passing a ban on Congressional stock ownership and removing Chuck Schumer from minority leadership.

From a verified voter in Forest Knolls, CA

I am profoundly disturbed by the mismanagement of ICE, CBP and other law enforcement conducting immigration raids. Besides being conducted in arguably illegal and unconstitutional ways (no warrants, on the basis of skin tone, etc.) the record keeping is sloppy or nonexistent. People get picked up an

Oppose the effort to only count CITIZENS in the Census

I am writing to you today as a longtime resident of Modesto, California — a concerned constituent — regarding the recently advanced bill that would limit the decennial census count to U.S. citizens only, thus excluding non-citizens from the population totals used for congressional apportionment. I

Schumer is unfit for Dem leadership - remove him if you care for this country

He has no conception of leverage other than over the public for the benefit of moneyed interests and himself. The minimum requirement for a leader is that they’re on the side of the team they represent. Please replace Schumer with someone who at least has that much going for them.

Oppose USDA's Unauthorized Demand for SNAP Recipient Data

The USDA is threatening to withhold food assistance from states unless they surrender complete SNAP recipient data, including names and immigration status. This demand exceeds the agency's statutory authority and contradicts what Congress authorized and funded. I urge you to intervene immediately to

Impeach Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth

First, Secretary Hegseth needs to be impeached and removed from office. It’s unacceptable to have a Secretary of Defense who rejects the Geneva Conventions and orders war crimes. I demand the impeachment of Pete Hegseth. Second, please support and vote for the extension of the ACA premium tax cred

Support AI Regulation to Combat Misinformation and Billionaire Political Influence

I am writing to urge you to support comprehensive regulation of artificial intelligence systems, particularly those controlled by tech billionaires who are using these platforms to spread misinformation and consolidate political power. Recent incidents with Grok, the AI chatbot developed by Elon Mu

Extend the ACA tax credits

I know Rep. Jeffries has introduced a discharge petition to force a vote in the House on a bill to extend the ACA premium tax credits by three years. I expect you to sign on to it. The end of these subsidies would spell financial and physical disaster for millions of Americans. It could also collaps

Oppose Strikes to Venezuelan Boats

I am requesting you to support the legislation in Congress denouncing the unauthorized use of Military involvement in hostilities with Venezuela. I fear US military personnel are being placed in harm's way without justification or approval from Congress. S.J.Res. 90: The primary sponsor is Senator

Don’t allow the privatization of the TVA. The TVA is a public good and should not be given over to a private company. The result would be higher rates for Tennessee citizens and poorer service as private companies’ mission is to make money whereas the mission of government is to provide services for

From a verified voter in Forest Knolls, CA

I am appalled by the unwarranted and likely illegal actions by our military blowing up boats in the Caribbean and the Pacific and then going back and killing survivors. This is manifestly illegal and constitutes war crimes. There is no evidence that these boats were smuggling drugs, even if so they

Please DO NOT allow Republicans to slip in legislation that would prohibit states from regulating AI. We desperately need to regulate this new technology. For one thing it gobbles up unbelievable amounts of energy and water. For another, the deep fakes and child porn it enables is destructive to our

Please work to overturn ridiculous TSA fine on flyers without REAL ID

The TSA announced travelers without a REAL ID compliant ID will be charged $45 to pass through security starting in February. This really seems predatory at this moment when it’s dangerous to cooperate with the federal government and people with REAL IDs are being detained by DHS regardless - at bes
