The Save Act Was Never About Voter Fraud

I appreciate your willingness to review the legislation if it comes before the full Senate. However, I remain deeply concerned about the premise behind this bill and the broader narrative surrounding voter fraud. Numerous studies, investigations, and court cases have consistently shown that voter fr

The war against Iran needs to end. Americans don’t support it, we’re angry that it costs so much, and we are furious that so many people have died—including the 168 school girls that our bombs seem to have killed. Pass a war powers resolution, now! Hegseth and Trump are leading us into disaster.

Rep. DeLauro has introduced a bill to fund all agencies under DHS except for ICE and CBP right now. We need the Senate to pass something like it right away. There is no reason for the travel delays we’re seeing, and there’s no reason for federal employees at these agencies to have to work without

I’m calling to urge Pingree to demand President Trump testify before Congress on his connections to sex I trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. The allegations against him are disgusting, his attempts to hide them are damning, and the American people deserve to know the truth. Thank you.

Senator Collins is surrendering her responsibilities as Senator by allowing Trump to unleash a misdirected and poorly managed war on Iran. The Middle East, the economy and the entire world is now in complete disarray. Collins needs to bring back a war powers act to reign in Trump & Hegseth’s horre

Subject: Require Clear Purpose, Cost and Duration Before Further Funding for War With Iran   The administration has not presented Congress or the American public with a clear explanation of the rationale for the war with Iran; what the end state of this war is meant to be; or how long it may last.

Release ALL the files; impeach, remove. NO ONE a is above the law.

Release all the Epstein files. Arrest the pedophiles. No one is above the law-- not princes, not presidents. Pam Bondi broke the law by delaying the release of Epstein Files and redacting them to protect the guilty while exposing the identities of survivors. The files contain grave accusation

DO YOUR JOB. Defend Article 1.8 of the Constitution

You swore an oath to the constitution: specifically to "support and defend the U.S. Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic." I am appalled that Congress has tolerate unconstitutional actions by not only Trump, but also by Noem, Bondi, and Hegseth. We the people did not authorise yo

Iran war is a colossal legal, moral, practical disaster. DO YOUR JOB. Stop it

The war is Iran is illegal; the US is committing war crimes; the conflict is being incompetently conducted. It is unconscionably costly in human lives, integrity, and safety. Let's review some of the facts: -- the US involvement is illegal according to both the War powers act and the UN. --The p

Abuse: Epstein, House harassment, bombing a school , ICE. STOP THESE NOW

I see a through-line connecting (1) the Epstein pedophile and trafficking crimes, (2) the House of Representatives vote NOT to release information about internal investigations of sexual abuse and harrassment and (3) the bombing of a girls school in Iran. And (4) the abusive treatment of women and c

Im writing to urge the Senator to support a formal conflict-of-interest review before the proposed Paramount - WB merger closes. The government must require strong data firewalls and full transparency around Oracle’s role. This isn’t just a Hollywood deal — it affects who controls what information

NO to Markwayne Mullins: following the law is not optional

Markwayne Mullin lacks the character and the experience to serve as secretary of homeland security. His past conduct in Congress -- including challenging a witness to fight in the chamber -- shows a grave lack of self control and respect for rules and norms. He is also saliently unqualified on the b

Shame on you for blocking war powers resolution

Shame on your for not voting to support and defend the constitution. You were one of 4 dems to vote against your party and block Congress from taking back its war powers which have been illegally usurped by Trump. You are supporting an illegal war; you are enabling war crimes. "a new analysis fro

Republicans hate children, here’s the proof

I am writing to urge you to oppose HR 7661, the “Stop the Sexualization of Children Act,” introduced by Representative Miller of Illinois. While the bill’s title may sound appealing on its face — no one favors the sexualization of children — a careful reading reveals it to be less about child safety

You Are Not Supporting Our Troops

I cannot believe you voted against the war powers act, and your reasoning makes no sense. You have voted against conducting the oversight you were sent to Washington to conduct, and you’re telling us it’s to support our troops??? Don’t you think it’s more supportive to make sure we don’t send them

Senator Collins, your vote & statement were a disgrace

Senator Collins, you betrayed your oath to the constitution yesterday. You well know that the president's war is illegal-- I should say, his wars. You well know that there was a nuclear agreement with Iran which Trump tore up. You well know that that there was not an imminent threat to US lives. You
