Demand Action on Gas Prices and Oversight of Trump’s Fuel Cost Boasts

I am writing to register my utter disgust with Congress’s continued cowardice, spineless complacency, and complete refusal to check President Trump on even his most callous actions. In recent remarks, Trump openly mocked the financial strain of everyday Americans. He acknowledged that people are "s

Defend Rep Omar, defend America. The DOJ isn't the president's personal revenge machine. Stop allowing him to target political enemies and stand up for our legislature. If she can be removed through false allegations and political grandstanding, so can you. MAGA legislators need to look at Massey an

Investigate Meta, protect elections and the free flow of information

I am disturbed by the censorship we witnessed last week as Meta suspended the No Kings Coalition Instagram channel, without explanation, amid the largest vote early activation in our country’s history. I expect Congress to investigate Meta and protect our elections from Big Tech interference: Now mo

Hegseth must go

I’m writing to urge you to move to impeach Pete Hegseth as Secretary of Defense. Hegseth is unfit for leadership and must be investigated and prosecuted for his unlawful actions. Also? There is no way we should give him the 1.5T he is asking for —all for a war virtually no Americans support. Impeach

Block the Transgender Military Ban

Block the Pentagon's purge of transgender service members. These troops have earned their place in uniform, and the military's own officers know it. Navy and Marine Corps separation boards have voted to retain transgender service members in nine of 12 cases reviewed, because war fighters evaluating

From a constituent in Warren, MI

Vote YES on HR 10199: SELL YOUR STOCKS OR STEP DOWN. The level of corruption by the current administration that has been tolerated is disguising. Everyone who supports this administration and the current president will be held accountable by the people who voted for you. Everyone who gets an endorse

Trump's election interference and DOJ abuse must stop. This last minute filing to disrupt the election in a desperate attempt to undercut Peltola's senate run on absurd claims. Congress needs to stand up and make clear that we will not allow Trump to pick apart our democracy one contrived ploy at a

Oppose change in refugee status notice

Please oppose the new rule that shortens the notice people with refugee status receive before the government terminates their status. Changing the notice from 30 days to just 10 days threatens the basic due process rights of those with refugee status on track for green cards. Please urge DHS and USC

No more military strikes -- end the Iran war!

U.S. and Israeli officials have reportedly developed plans to renew military strikes on Iran following the midterm elections. I cannot overemphasize how opposed I am to this. We do NOT want further military strikes. We want an end to this war. Donald Trump is focused on all the wrong things; his pol

The DOJ has zero role in the certification of elections. Todd Blanche is an amoral lackey who doesn't care about the law. Push back on the blatant threats to elections security from the Trump administration. There is no legal basis for this and they cannot be allowed to constant mock the rule of law

From a constituent in Grand Rapids, MI

It seems like the discourse around ICE has slowed down a little bit, but I haven't forgotten! What are we doing about ICE, what are we going to do in the future, and how are we going to untangle the web of people who have been detained and deported all over the world? Thank you for your service to

Stop Using Anti-Trans Messaging to Win Elections

Stop running ads that target transgender people. The DCCC's "That's Nancy" ad, paid for by the party itself and airing in South Carolina's 1st Congressional District, marks the first known instance of the Democratic Party choosing explicitly anti-transgender messaging as a campaign strategy. That is

Only proper response to betraying allies and aiding enemy: Impeach

I’m upset that the US is deliberately delaying deliveries of interceptor missiles to Ukraine. This, while Elon Musk is withholding Starshield and Trump is offering sweetheart deals to Russia? It’s so wrong! We should stand with Ukraine and against Russia, and if the Trump administration can’t or won

You are responsible for checks and balances. If the executive branch refuses to comply with lawful orders, you must hold them accountable. End the Trump administration's assault on our government, our tax dollars, and our rule of law. Impeach and remove everyone participating in the willful violatio

Protect LGBTQ Youth From Politically Motivated Fearmongering

Oppose the cynical use of anti-transgender advertising as a political weapon. The flood of ads targeting trans people, including over $442 million in spending in the Texas Senate race alone and $100 million pledged by America PAC, is not protecting children. It is exposing them to hostility toward a

Investigate HUD's Abandonment of LGBTQ+ Fair Housing Complaints

Investigate HUD's handling of LGBTQ+ housing discrimination complaints and demand the records Rep. Ritchie Torres requested by November 1. HUD claims it cut its fair housing backlog by 27 percent, but the Government Accountability Office reported in October that it could not independently verify tha

🚫Remove Private Security From Our USPS Facilities‼️

I am writing because of the report I read today by Wisconsin publisher and podcaster Kirk Bangstad, who reports that there are currently armed guards in the Carol Stream regional USPS facility who are from a private security force. Who is giving them their orders? How were they trained? What is thei

Remove arm guards from democratic leading cities, post offices!

With placement of arm, security guards in post offices across America in Democratic leaning states! It’s beginning to look exactly what Donald Trump‘s endgame is. It appears to me the intention is to seize ballots after the election and then claim a victory. Congress needs to stop this now before it

Block the Federal Prison Gender-Affirming Care Ban

Block the Trump administration's attempt to strip gender-affirming care from federal prisoners. The Supreme Court should not freeze Judge Lamberth's order, and elected officials must make clear that denying medically necessary treatment to incarcerated people is unconstitutional. Hormone therapy is

Stop Russia, China and USA summit to decide Ukraine’s fate

We will probably never know which lies to believe but the fact that trump is aligning us with Russia against Ukraine is not acceptable. We made an agreement with Ukraine that if they gave up their nuclear weapons the USA, Great Britain and Russia would provide them with defensive weapons if invaded.

Do not confirm Trevor Lauer

Please do not confirm Trevor Lauer to the Natural Resources Committee. Michigan deserves leaders who have the best interest of the natural resources and citizens at heart, not executives who just want to line the pockets of their companies. Michiganders have made their stance on data centers clear

Support Ukraine, not Russia

I'm writing to ask that you oppose the Trump administration's deal to import Russian diesel. I also want you to demand that the Trump administration follow the law banning Russian energy imports. The U.S. should not be funding Putin's war while Russia continues to kill Ukrainian civilians. Thanks

ICE is hunting and killing legal residents. Emiliano Andrade-Covarrubias was a legal permanent resident, but ICE targeted him based on unsupported claims of fraud and he died in detention. Americans don't want to pay for camps where immigrants die, least of all legal US residents. Defund and abolish
