Reject Section 1217, Stop Military Integration With Israel

I urge you to vote NO on the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) if it includes provisions expanding U.S.-Israeli military integration, particularly Section 1217, the U.S.-Israel Defense Technology Cooperation Initiative.

We are still being governed by a lawless tyranny that treats the constitution as a dead letter and shows contempt for state and national law and precedent. In order to restore and reinforce our democracy, we need accountability, investigation, prosecution. Congress must address these issues in Janu

End Political Control of Immigration Courts and Protect Judicial Independence

As your constituent, I am concerned that immigration courts are not independent, but operate under the very Administration seeking deportations. That conflict threatens judicial independence when judges face dismissal or pressure. I urge you to establish independent immigration courts and investigat

I understand Democrats will soon be holding leadership elections. I don’t know if you have any saying this, but I want to make clear that I have no faith in Chuck Schumer to do the job we need. He needs to go! There is so much talent in this caucus, and so many lawmakers who have shown they know

Accountability, Not Enabling: Hakeem Jeffries Must Uphold the Law or Step Down

I urge you to make clear that Hakeem Jeffries should not be Speaker of the House unless he commits to meaningful investigations and, where warranted, impeachment proceedings concerning the Trump presidency. This is not about vengeance or partisan retaliation. It is about accountability, the rule of

The Blue Tsunami is a mandate. A mandate against the lawless wrecking of the constitution, rule of law, checks and balances, and decency at home and aboard.

America Must Not Deliver Vulnerable Afghans Into the Hands of the Taliban

As your constituent, I urge you to stop the Trump administration’s reported plan to deport more than 150 Afghans, possibly through Pakistan, to Taliban-controlled Afghanistan.

Accountability for criminal acts of the Trump administration must be immediate, relentless, consistent, and applied to both actual crimes and high crimes and misdemeanors at every level. The constitution is not optional. We did not vote to rescind it. That means that Project 2025, which was an ex

Investigate the Department of Justice's use of militarized pre-dawn raids against elderly, nonviolent green card holders accused of voting irregularities, two weeks before the midterm elections.

Trump is staging his second coup

The Justice Department’s reported effort to block certification of Alaska’s Senate election results if a Republican loses should alarm every American. Elections are decided by voters, not federal officials seeking to override an unfavorable outcome. This is an extraordinary abuse of government powe

How Did U.S. Satellite Services Became Unreliable During Combat in Ukraine

As your constituent, I urge you to press for hearings into the unannounced restrictions on Ukraine's satellite services, which endangered lives and cast doubt on American reliability.

Checks & Balances?

Why hasn’t Congress cut off the funds Trump is using for all his personal projects? I don’t think he was elected to gild statues and remake public golf courses.
