Pass a War Powers Resolution

I urge you to move Sen. Kaine’s war powers resolution forward and pass a clean version as quickly as possible. The Senate must reassert checks and balances to stop another war for oil. Thank you. I’ll be closely following this issue.

Stop the ridiculous action against Jerome Powell.

Trump’s DOJ needs to drop its sham criminal investigation into Jerome Powell now, before they tank our economy. Trump is playing with fire — we will all lose if the Central Bank loses its independence. The DOJ must drop the charges now. Thanks.

Congress -- rein in ICE!

I’m horrified by what ICE is doing right now in Minneapolis. The violence, lawlessness, and unconstitutionality of their actions is appalling. Even worse is Congress’s failure to do anything about it. You’re a co-equal branch of government. Act like it! Rein this lawless agency in! ICE needs to be d

From a constituent in Grand Rapids, MI

I am outraged that masked armed ICE agents continue to terrorize our communities. Among other egregious acts, federal agents have smashed car windows, blown the door off of a home with children inside, and shot into a family vehicle. Please take urgent action to curb ICE's abuses combat executive ov

Block ICE, block Rep Fine's quest to make Greenland the 51st state. Investigate DHS, rein in your gestapo troops, impeach the president, vice president, cabinet

This Is Not a Monarchy! Congress: Reassert Oversight as You Return

The United States was never intended to be a monarchy. The president is not a king, and the executive branch was not designed to operate without scrutiny. An active, engaged Congress that upholds it's role as a co-equal branch of the government is something our constitutional system depends on. Ove

Oppose KOSA: Protect LGBTQ+ Youth from Censorship

I am writing to urge you to oppose the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA), which threatens to erase queer and trans communities from the internet. While this bill is marketed as protecting children online, I am deeply concerned that it will be weaponized to censor LGBTQ+ content and resources that are li

Restrain ICE financially!

I implore you to refuse to vote for any appropriations bill for the Department of Homeland Security that fails to rein in ICE. Renee Good’s killing on January 7, is part of a broader pattern of unchecked violence, impunity, and abuse carried out by federal immigration enforcement agencies against o

Enact State Protections for Transgender Athletes' Rights

The Supreme Court is currently hearing cases from Idaho and West Virginia that challenge state bans on transgender athletes participating in sports consistent with their gender identity. While lower courts initially ruled in favor of trans athletes in both cases, the states have appealed, creating u

2026 DHS appropriations bill

Congress needs to pause negotiations on the 2026 DHS appropriations bill pending investigations of the fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good by an ICE agent. Good was murdered and her killer needs to be charged. On that note, ICE is completely out of control—they’re terrorizing neighborhoods and behav

Oppose KOSA - It Will Censor LGBTQ+ Content and Resources

I am writing to urge you to oppose the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA), which you have co-sponsored twice, most recently in 2025. Despite its name, this legislation functions as a censorship bill that will be weaponized against LGBTQ+ communities, particularly trans youth seeking healthcare informatio

ority to detain Renee and absolutely no reason or justification to shoot her. Ultimately, ICE is controlled by 47, and Renee Good's blood is on his hands as well. Congress, we the people need you to support justice and the constitution. Impeach 47. Arrest and charge Ross with murder. Do better. Ar

ICE beat a U.S. Marine Veteran, telling her: “Have you not learned? This is why we killed that lesbian b*tch!” These terrorists stomped on Skye, trying to break her ankle. As they tortured her, they asked if she “liked it,” called her “it,” and shoved her face into the ground so that she couldn’t br

Do not allow an invasion or attack of a fellow NATO country

I am writing to you to express my concern about the situation with Greenland. We must not attack a fellow NATO country. This administration is going to cause World War III and we cannot be complicit. I am requesting that you take immediate steps towards stopping this madness before it becomes a rea

Rein in Noem and ICE before they kill again

ICE is running amok. Kristi Noem thinks killing citizens is funny and merits escalation. DHS thinks they can block congressional oversight. Americans are being terrorized by masked thugs paid with tax dollars. Congress needs to assert itself and put a stop to this. Teach Noem and her ghouls a civics

ICE is violating the 4th Amendment in Minneapolis, MN. Stop this blatant violation, now!

From a verified voter in Oxford, MI

The president’s nominee for Secretary of the Navy is entirely unqualified for the post. This is no great surprise, as the same could be said for most of his cabinet. Do not vote to approve yet another unqualified incompetent yes-man for the President’s team. Reach across the aisle if possible; use t

Senate Democrats are not powerless - use procedures to stop ICE now

ICE is escalating deployments, violating due process, and using violence against civilians. I'm writing to ask what specific procedural actions you as a Senator are taking right now in the Senate to stop further ICE escalation. The Senate is not a majoritarian body. Senators can object to unanimous

Renee Good murder -- what are Democrats doing about it?

We want concrete pledges telling us what you’re doing in response to Good’s killing. Words are not enough. The raids on our communities, human rights abuses against immigrants and peaceful protestors, and escalating violence by Trump’s secret police are all being turbo-charged by a massive increase

Congress must stop Trump from any action in Greenland! He would love to take action and destroy NATO! STOP THIS NONSENSE!

Countless Americans died for democracy, and you DO NOTHING.

Where is your outrage? Where is your action? DO YOU SEE WHAT IS HAPPENING? We won’t have a Congress in 10 months you IDIOTS! Your job won’t matter so how about you try DOING SOMETHING BEFORE THAT HAPPENS YOU COWARDS. Your lack of spine is the outrage, your lack of patriotism, your lack of action. Ho

We need leadership, not cowards. Resign immediately.

Greenland invasion, child rape Epstein files, ICE murdering people with impunity. WHAT THE F*CK ARE YOU DOING ABOUT IT? Nothing. You do nothing. You think there’s going to be a midterm? HOW DUMB ARE YOU? While you sit back and eat your steak dinners this country is falling apart before our eyes. Sin
