Our county needs to act now and protect elections now

The 2026 midterms are already under threat, and our county needs to act now — not in October 2026. The playbook is visible: pressure on redistricting maps, changes to ballot access rules, federal agents deployed to intimidate election offices, and pre-planned challenges to certifications.

We need state run CDC agencies to protect us against outbreaks

As we are seeing in real time, it is critical that we have a state funded CDC to prevent massive outbreaks like what is happening with the HantaVirus. The hantavirus outbreak linked to the MV Hondius cruise ship — at least 8 illnesses and 3 deaths — is a live example of exactly why this matters.

Rejoin WHO, Fire RFK, and Rehire CDC Scientists Now

Rejoin the WHO immediately, remove RFK from his position, and rehire the scientists fired from the CDC. The hantavirus outbreak linked to the MV Hondius cruise ship — at least 8 illnesses and 3 deaths — is a live example of exactly why this matters. Because the U.S. is no longer formally participati

Demand Congress restore the Office of the Immigration Detention Ombudsman

I oppose the administration’s closure of the office tasked with investigating detention abuse. With poor healthcare conditions and the deaths of eighteen people in ICE detention so far this year, oversight from OIDO is more vital than ever. DHS attributes the closure to a lack of funding in the Home

Block Third Reconciliation Bill and Protect Healthcare

Vote no on any reconciliation bill that cuts healthcare to fund tax breaks for the wealthy and corporations. Republicans are working on a third reconciliation package that would gut healthcare programs to pay for Pentagon spending increases and more tax cuts for those who need them least. This is a

Stop gutting the Forest Service

United States public lands will “pay the price” of Trump’s drive to restructure the agency that oversees them, union leaders have warned. They accuse the regime of forcing workers to decide whether to relocate or resign. All regional offices of the US Forest Service, which manages 193 million acres

We cannot vote our way out of a situation where the vote itself is the target. We cannot wait for 2026 to see if elections still work, because every month we wait is a month where the machinery of fair elections is being dismantled. By November 2026, we may discover that fair elections no longer exi

Americans should not pay for the ball room... Trump should personally

I am writing to demand that taxpayers shall not pay for the reconstruction of the White House ballroom. Instead the person that destroyed it should be personally responsible for paying for the reconstruction. The White House is the people's house not Trump's. We did not approve for the massive demol

Do not vote for the reconciliation bill until ICE is dismantled

The Trump administration redirected nearly one in four FBI employees — including one in five special agents — away from criminal investigations and into immigration enforcement. It comes from FBI records obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request by The Intercept. When the U.S. bombed

I’m writing to urge the Congressman Raskinr to use every tool at his disposal to fight any budget reconciliation bill that shovels more taxpayer dollars to ICE and Border Patrol.

Childcare bills & S4340
