Strip Section 224 from the FY2027 NDAA

Strip Section 224 from the FY2027 NDAA.

End the GEO Group Contract and Investigate Delaney Hall Conditions

Demand an immediate investigation into conditions at Delaney Hall in Newark and end the GEO Group's $1 billion, 15-year contract to run it.

Investigate the National Design Studio's Illegal Data Collection and Privacy Violations

Demand a full investigation into the National Design Studio (NDS), a White House office created by Executive Order 14338 on August 21, 2025, and bring this to your colleagues' attention immediately. The NDS is staffed entirely through Section 3161 temporary advisory appointments — meaning these cont
