Massachusetts Open Letters

Please vote yet to make daylight savings time permanent. Going back and forth makes no sense and causes health issues and accidents. Leaving the clocks alone needs to happen, and being light longer makes the most sense.

Warning! Things are going to be bad this midterm election. The Trump administration has fired the remaining commissioners of the U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC), leaving the independent bipartisan agency without any sitting commissioners.

No Pentagon reconciliation + justice for Tyrin Johnson

Hi, I’m a constituent writing from 01373. First, I understand that the president wants Congress to pass $350 billion more in funding for the Pentagon via a reconciliation bill. He also wants to use that bill to enact the SAVE America Act. So many Americans are having trouble affording basics, like

Trump Is Threatening NATO Over Greenland Again, And We’ve Had Enough

Donald Trump has again made it clear he has not abandoned his bizarre fantasy of seizing Greenland, suggesting he might pull U.S. troops out of our NATO allies if they do not bend to his will. Our country’s entire foreign policy apparently depends on whether or not Trump’s imperial dream comes true.

We Demand Total Opposition to Trump’s Compromised Judicial Picks

Donald Trump has been packing the courts with Federalist Society extremists and MAGA toadies. These people have been handpicked for their willingness to protect billionaires, advance a reactionary political agenda and prioritize loyalty to the President, and nothing more.

Have weather forecasts seemed less accurate lately? There's a major contributing factor: nearly half the morning weather balloons in the Lower 48 are "missing."

Oppose A Budget Hike for A Hijacked Supreme Court

The Supreme Court spent this term burying the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and allowing state legislatures to disrupt elections already well under way to gerrymander.

Temporary protective status and the Supreme Court

The Supreme Court’s ruling on Haitians’ TPS status is an outrage. I know the House has already passed legislation, H.R. 1689, to protect this status and I want the Senate to pass it too.
