Protect Public Lands

National parks and monuments such as Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante are among the country’s most precious places. Tribal Nations, alongside local communities worked to protect these national monuments in order to preserve thousands of cultural sites and areas sacred to Indigenous peoples,

ICE Accountability Now. Where are the body cams?

I'm writing to demand a full, independent, and public investigation into the killings of Joan Sebastian Guerrero and Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. I also demand congressional hearings on ICE accountability and to require body cameras for all immigration agents. Congress already appropriated $20 million

This country has so many issues right now and I cannot believe that the House has made it a priority to make Daylight Saving Time permanent. It’s an asinine idea that will be just as deeply unpopular as it was when it was tried in the 70s. Please for the love of God do not vote to enact this. If a

I’m your constituent, and I’m asking the Senator to oppose the SAVE America Act, on its own or attached to anything else.

Pass a Binding Ethics Code for the Supreme Court

Congress needs to pass binding ethics reform for the Supreme Court now. The current system of voluntary disclosure and self-policing is, as Rep. Rosa DeLauro put it, "woefully insufficient." Conservative justices have accepted lavish gifts from wealthy donors with active interests before the bench,

Fight Back Against Trump's Threat to American Democracy

You've called Trump the gravest threat to American democracy. That's not a talking point — it's a diagnosis. Now act like it. Campaigning in Nevada and signing voting safeguards in California are good starts, but they're not enough when we're watching the National Guard deployed to American cities w

Impeach Trump Over the IRS Collusion Ruling

Start impeachment proceedings against Donald Trump now. A federal judge just voided his $10 billion IRS lawsuit as an illegal act of self-dealing and collusion, finding that Trump, Donald Trump Jr., and Eric Trump "acted in bad faith and for an improper purpose." This isn't a close call — it's a 56-

Remove Hakeem Jeffries from Democratic Leadership

Hakeem Jeffries needs to be removed from Democratic leadership. His decision to vote against the Massie amendment cutting U.S. aid to Israel — and his call for a "new security arrangement" to maintain Israel's military edge — puts him squarely at odds with the Democratic base and, frankly, with basi

I understand the house has passed the Sunshine Act. The scientific case against permanent DST has become increasingly strong: • Morning light is the most powerful signal for synchronizing the human circadian clock. • Permanent DST delays sunrise for much of the year, especially in winter, reducing

There is absolutely no question that Todd Blanche should NOT be confirmed by the Senate to be the Attorney General. Judge Williams in Florida, in ruling against the “settlement agreement” in Trump’s suit against the IRS was so disgusted by the complete illegality of that fraud upon the court that s

Stop funding Israeli war crimes

I implore you to oppose the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) unless Section 219 is removed. This provision would create dangerously deep integration between U.S. and Israeli military technology in areas like missile defense, AI, cybersecurity, and biotechnology — exceeding the level of coo

END and ABOLISH ICE

End ICE. Defund it entirely, close every detention center, and say so publicly. This isn't a fringe position — it's the only rational response to an agency that has killed more people since January 2025 than in the previous two decades combined. 2025 saw the highest number of deaths in ICE custody s

Do Not Put Blanche in the DOJ big chair

Trump has nominated his former personal criminal defense attorney, Todd Blanche, to serve as Attorney General of the United States. Blanche, who previously served as Deputy Attorney General, is the current Acting Attorney General, and there are serious concerns that he will further politicize the J

No more Money for Israel until they reform their actions!

I hope you will be voting FOR Massie's amendment to stop supporting Israel's genocide. They need guard rails as badly as this regime does! Enough with the genocide in Gaza and illegal settlements and murders and genocide in the West Bank.

Halt Weapons Transfers to Israel Amid Espionage Threat

Stop sending weapons to Israel. The Defense Intelligence Agency has raised Israel's counterintelligence threat designation to "critical" — the highest level possible — because Israel is actively surveilling top U.S. officials to gather intelligence on the Trump administration's internal deliberation

Data centers could affect the bee population, which would lead to huge problems. As someone who uses AI for work, I can say without question: AI is not needed as much as the bees. Put a stop to data centers being placed everywhere. Regulate AI. Save the bees.
