Reject Patel's politicized FBI nomination, uphold democratic norms

I feel compelled to voice my strong opposition to the nomination of Kash Patel as the next director of the FBI. Patel has openly expressed his intention to weaponize the federal law enforcement agency for political vengeance against President Trump's perceived enemies, including members of the media

From a constituent in Louisville, KY

I am very concerned that DJT intends to fire Christopher Wray and replace him with Kash Patel as the director of the FBI. It’s profoundly dangerous—not just because Patel is unqualified and has suggested he’d like to dismantle large parts of the agency, but because firing a Senate-confirmed FBI dire

Reject Patel's nomination to protect FBI's integrity and independence

Kash Patel's nomination to lead the FBI raises serious concerns about the agency's ability to carry out its mission objectively and free from political interference. As a fervent Trump loyalist, Patel has openly called for radically overhauling the FBI, undermining its independence, and targeting th

Rewrite HR 9495 before passing!

Please do not pass HR 9495. The spirit of this bill makes total sense; however, it is not written in a way to guardrail legitimate nonprofits who do good important work from being labeled as terrorist groups by any administration that is out to stop them. You may feel this works in your favor if it

Urgent Need for Action on Domestic Issues

I feel my voice is not being heard. As my representative, you have a responsibility to prioritize the needs of your constituents over corporate interests.

I know that Trump is asking lawmakers to let him name his unqualified cabinet nominees as “recess appointments” without a vote, a move that would require the Senate to adjourn for long periods of time.

Reject anti-vaccine Kennedy's nomination for health secretary

I am writing in strong opposition to Matt Gaetz’s confirmation as AG. As you know, Gaetz has zero qualifications for being the highest law enforcement official in the land.
