I am concerned about Section 708 of the NDAA passed by the House on December 11. My understanding is that it eliminates health care through TRICARE for trans minors of military personnel. This provision will jeopardize the lives of trans youths and disrupt the lives of their military families. I wan

Vote against H.R. 9495 in its current form
It is concerning that H.R. 9495 would grant the Treasury Secretary overly broad authority to unilaterally terminate the tax-exempt status of nonprofit organizations based solely on an accusation of being linked to terrorism, without requiring substantive evidence to be provided. This unchecked power
