Stop Using Export Controls as Political Retaliation Against AI Companies

The Trump administration's treatment of Anthropic is a constitutional crisis dressed up as AI policy, and I want you to push back on it. After Anthropic refused Pentagon demands to use its models for autonomous weapons development and surveillance of Americans, the government declared the company a

Support the Open Courts Act of 2026

Please co-sponsor and vote yes on the Open Courts Act of 2026. PACER, the federal court records system, charges the public more than $150 million a year to access documents that belong to the public.

Support the JAWBONE Act to Stop Government Censorship by Proxy

Please co-sponsor and vote yes on the JAWBONE Act, introduced by Senators Cruz and Wyden. This bipartisan bill creates a federal cause of action against government officials who pressure broadcasters, platforms, or AI providers into suppressing lawful, First Amendment-protected speech — and it estab

First, I want the Congressmember to grind all activity in the House to a halt until Bill Pulte is removed as acting DNI. His presence there—even for a day— will put Americans in grave danger. The Senator needs to do whatever s/he has to do to stop it. Second, please ask the Congressmember to vote n

First, I want the Senator to vote NO on Hal Duncan's nomination to be Deputy Director of the OMB. Duncan is a Russ Vought mini-me who is pro-rescission, anti-democracy, and overall a dangerous person for this job. Second, the Senator MUST vote no on the CLARITY Act. It will enable Trump and his fam

Block the Education Department Dismantling and Protect Student Rights

Stop the administration's dismantling of the Department of Education. The inter-agency agreements transferring special education oversight to HHS and civil rights enforcement to the DOJ are a backdoor shutdown — one that Congress never authorized. These moves need to be blocked now. The IDEA is an

For government officials to conspire to cover up and withhold evidence of crimes is certainly a crime in itself. It is also a betrayal of their oaths of office. Note that Trump's crimes, if publicized and prosecuted, would cause him to be removed and imprisoned. Trump's administration is illegall

Vote NO on Saphier for U.S. Surgeon General. Nicole Saphier has been nominated to serve as U.S. Surgeon General.

Oppose the NO FAKES Act

Oppose the NO FAKES Act. What started as a narrow bill targeting AI-generated replicas has ballooned into a sweeping censorship and innovation-suppression law that will cause serious collateral damage to free expression online. The updated bill mandates content filters across platforms — filters th

I'm writing to urge you to oppose OMB's Proposed Federal Financial Assistance Rule (OMB-2026-0034) and block its implementation. The scientific process works because it is objective, and allowing politics to restrict scientific progress hurts everyone. Also, I'm very concerned about the harmful pro

Oppose the App Store Accountability Act

Vote no on the App Store Accountability Act. This bill doesn't protect children — it creates a national ID-check infrastructure for the internet while delivering nothing more than cosmetic changes to default settings. Any effective age verification requires government ID or biometric data. That's n

I’m writing to say, first, that I support The Robin Hood Act, introduced by Rep. Dan Goldman, which would tax the “borrow” part of the “buy, borrow, die” scheme the rich use to spend without paying taxes on their wealth. Second, I oppose any extension of FISA that doesn’t come with warrant protecti

Oppose the New OMB Rules on Federal Grants

Vote against the new OMB rules on federal grants. These changes threaten to upend how nonprofits, local governments, and research institutions access and manage federal funding — and the consequences for my community would be real and immediate. The new rules introduce compliance burdens that small

Hold Elon and the financial system accountable for robbing the middle class

The rules transgressions between Elon, SpaceX, and the NASDAQ are a shameful example of the federal government ignoring the needs of the people for the sake of enriching themselves and their buddies.

Oppose the Kids Online Safety Act — It Endangers the Most Vulnerable Kids

Vote no on the Kids Online Safety Act. Despite revisions, KOSA still threatens the online communities that LGBTQ+ and trans youth depend on as lifelines. The bill's "duty of care" still covers content recommendation systems, which means the FTC could pressure platforms to filter topics like LGBTQ+ i

First, I’m concerned that the State Department is going after Trita Parsi — a foreign policy expert and critic of the Iran war — and may seek to deport him. Parsi is a green card holder who has lived in the US for 25+ years. An attack on constitutional freedoms for anyone entitled to them (including

First, I’m asking the Senator to oppose the CLARITY Act when it comes up for a vote. Trump is using cryptocurrency to let billionaires, big tech, and foreign governments bribe him personally. Congress shouldn’t be considering any crypto bills that don’t address his corruption. Second, I want the Se

Reject H.R. 6028: Stop the Copyright Office Power Grab

The Senate must reject H.R. 6028, the so-called "Legislative Branch Agencies Clarification Act."
