Illegal diversion of funds from NSF Research Budget

I am writing today regarding the NYT article describing the diversion of $1.4B in funding from the NSF by the Trump administration. The article, published on 10/2/2026, describes this as a “power grab.” But this is an illegal and intentional misappropriation of funds, and I expect congress to fight

Say goodbye to teachers, social workers, early child-care workers, almost all jobs in hospitals with the exceptions of physicians, PAs, and some specialized nurses.

Stop Johnson's Plan to Steal the Midterm Elections

You need to publicly commit, before November 3, that you will not participate in any attempt to deny duly certified Democratic members-elect their seats in the 120th Congress on January 3.

Heidi Overton has spent years attacking abortion access, and she helped engineer the Trump admin’s reckless rollback of the childhood vaccine schedule, a decision that puts countless kids at risk. She is unfit to head the FDA.

please act to stop abusive immigration enforcement

I write to you today to ask you to protect families that are being preyed upon by this administration for the base purpose of inflating the number of deportations.

Investigate latest ICE shooting and stop ICE traffic stops

I’m outraged and sickened that another person has been shot by ICE. This madness needs to stop. This agency is completely out of control. The man they shot, Wilber Garces Perez, was a DoorDash driver. He was trying to make a delivery when ICE agents rammed his car with theirs and shot him. It’s insa

No on CLARITY act

I urge the Senator to filibuster and stop the CLARITY Act when it comes up for a vote in the Senate this week. This bill is written by industry executives and would open the door to more scams that rip off investors and everyday people. Crypto is a solution looking for a problem and has little use
