Prioritize Funding for Vital Alzheimer's Disease Research Breakthroughs

Alzheimer's disease is a devastating condition that robs individuals of their memories and cognitive abilities, profoundly impacting patients, families, and caregivers. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) and related programs play a crucial role in advancing research to understand, treat, and ul

Congress must stop Trump’s Tariffs

Disruptive and nonsensical tariffs imposed by the current administration are wreaking havoc on the national and global economy. These tariffs, amounting to a multitrillion dollar tax increase on Americans, are already causing immense economic turmoil - stock markets have suffered their worst perform

Impeach. Convict. Remove. Trump has to be removed from power. He’s killing us.

Hey everyone, when are we impeaching and removing Trump?

Oppose HR 1526

I’m calling to demand that you oppose H.R. 1526, the No Rogue Rulings Act, and any other attempt to rewrite the federal court system. Impeaching judges and changing their constitutional authority just because Trump doesn’t like their rulings is grossly authoritarian and must be stopped.

Save our libraries!

On March 14, President Trump issued an executive order to eliminate I-M-L-S. If this order is allowed to stand, it will hurt millions of Americans who rely on our libraries.    Library funding uses a tiny percentage of the annual federal budget, and yet I-M-L-S makes a real difference for Americans

From a constituent in Braidwood, IL4:35 AM

There must be a joint declaration of Congress challenging Trumps invocation of emergency powers and the tariffs must end now. He is intentionally destroying the country simply to access more powers. Congress must enforce their coequal authority.

HEALTHCARE WORKERS AND KENNEDY’S INEPTITUDE.

I think it is ridiculous that Kennedy is laying off some of THE MOST NEEDED members and employees in America. Perhaps our healthcare system needs to be revamped but certainly NOT dismantled. Allowing someone who has zero confidence in science and has spewed all kinds of disinformation about measle

Become and support the working class

The working class needs you. It's time you put your money where your mouth is and took the average salary of your state and started living like those of us that you represent.

Become and support the working class

I'm so upset by the state of the US government and what has been accomplished in so little time. In the less than 80 days since Trump has taken to office, he has laid off so many veterans and taken away so many good people's jobs. We need to demand more for the working class. We need to help them un

The proposed "mega API" at the IRS poses serious risks to taxpayer privacy and data security. Consolidating all IRS data into a centralized system that is potentially accessible to private companies like Palantir is deeply concerning.

"Emergency Powers Should Not Override the Constitution"

I am writing to express my serious concern about the use of emergency declarations, particularly under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), and the broader implications of the National Emergencies Act (NEA) in granting expansive domestic authority to the Executive Branch with min

Say no to the Save act

I am extremely concerned about the so-called “save” act stripping people of their voting rights and making it very hard for people, especially women, poor citizens, and the elderly to vote. Please stand up and fight for us! Do not allow this to pass next week.

stop giving him SGE status for the love of God and country!

Remember when Elon said civilization depends on the Wisconsin election? Remember when Elon's child was in the Oval office during a press conference? And the 4 year old baby of Elon's said to Trump "“you’re not the pr esident and you need to go away.” Do you remember? Do you believe in coincidences?

Accountability & Action: Stand Against Trump

Friends, fellow Americans: Our government must effectively serve its people. Yet, massive job cuts have been enacted, weakening vital functions across the board. To my fellow veterans, this hits close to home with cuts at the VA undermining services we earned – a profound violation of trust connecte

Legislator action needed on unconstitutional tariff overreach

The president's unilateral imposition of tariffs raises serious constitutional concerns about the separation of powers and Congress's authority over regulating foreign commerce and taxation. While the president cited emergency powers, the actions appear disconnected from addressing any actual emerge

Tariffs are a Tax! I know you know this, but these imposed tariffs are going to lead our country in the wrong direction. You all need to start talking to your colleagues - on both sides - and attempt to persuade them to take action against these tariffs. We still have almost 4 years of this sh*tsh

Vote No on the SAVE Act

The proposed Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, or Save Act, would disenfranchise millions of eligible voters by requiring proof of citizenship for voter registration.

Reject Harmful Tariffs, Support Fair Tax Reforms for Middle Class

The Trump administration's plan to impose massive across-the-board tariffs on imports represents an enormous tax increase that will be paid by American businesses and consumers, not by other countries as claimed.

Rein in destructive tariffs to safeguard economy, markets

The sweeping tariffs imposed by President Trump have sent shockwaves through financial markets, leading to a severe sell-off that has wiped out nearly $2 trillion in market value from the S&P 500 index alone.

Since it looks like there may be a growing group of GOP congress people willing to roll back tarrifs, it looks like there might be a group willing to also impeach the president. Let's try it. Thanks!
