Oppose Kash Patel as Director of the FBI

I’m deeply concerned at Trump’s decision to fire Christopher Wray and replace him with Kash Patel as the director of the FBI. It’s profoundly dangerous—not just because Patel is unqualified and has suggested he’d like to dismantle large parts of the agency, but because firing a Senate-confirmed FBI

No recess appointments

Please do not allow the Trump administration to execute recess appointments. The constitution gives the Senate the duty and honor to give advice and consent on cabinet members and other officials. To allow the new administration the ability to appoint officers without your consent is an abbrogation

The proposed legislation to restrict access to single-sex facilities on federal property based solely on biological sex at birth is deeply concerning. This discriminatory measure would infringe upon the basic rights and dignity of transgender individuals. Determining someone's gender identity based

Denounce Bigotry

I understand that Rep. Nancy Mace introduced a bill to keep transgender women from using the Capitol Hill bathrooms. It’s aimed, of course, at Sarah McBride, who will be the first transgender member of Congress. Watching grown adults bully a transgender lawmaker is repugnant. If the Republicans supp

HR 9495 Goes too far.

I'm concerned about HR9495. Specifically, Section 4, allowing the IRS to declare a non-profit as a terrorist supporting organization. I fear the new administration will use it to suppress criticism. Victor Orban uses the same technique to punish his critics. This section can be used as a cudgel agai

Reject legislation discriminating against transgender community's rights and dignity.

I urge you to oppose any legislation that discriminates against transgender individuals by denying them access to public restrooms that align with their gender identity. Such measures are not only unconstitutional but also promote harmful stigma and marginalization. Rep. Mace's proposed bathroom ban

Uphold Senate's advice and consent role, protect checks and balances

As representatives of the people, it is imperative that you preserve the Senate's constitutional role in providing advice and consent for presidential appointments. Allowing recess appointments would undermine this crucial check on executive power and erode the system of checks and balances that is

Oppose H.R. 9495,

I want the Congressmember to oppose H.R. 9495, The Stop Terror Financing and Tax Penalties on American Hostages Act. This bill would give the secretary of the Treasury the unilateral power to revoke a nonprofit's tax-exempt status and it would be horribly abused by the Trump Administration. Please a

NO RECESS APPOINTMENTS

I know that Trump is asking the Senate to let him name his unqualified cabinet nominees as “recess appointments” without a vote. The Senator MUST refuse to comply. I expect him/her to stand by the vow s/he took to uphold the Constitution. NO RECESS APPOINTMENTS. Also, the Senator needs to vote no on

From a constituent in Lincoln, NE

This legislation poses a serious threat to free speech and the ability of nonprofit organizations to advocate for important causes. It would grant the Treasury Department sweeping authority to revoke the tax-exempt status of any group labeled a "terrorist-supporting organization," without clear defi
