You allow too much chaos.

Question for the day: are you all insane? The White House blames Democrats and the media for the incident at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. Karoline Leavitt called all critics of Trump and/or GOP policies a “left-wing cult of hatred against POTUS and all of those who support him” and blam

Science should be evidence-based, not political. I’m concerned that all 22 members of the advisory board overseeing the U.S. National Science Foundation were abruptly dismissed on April 24 and without explanation. When Republicans destroy the foundation of basic research, it sets science back decade

Stop Protecting the Powerful: Demand Full Epstein File Transparency

I am writing to demand that Congress stop treating the Jeffrey Epstein investigation like an optional disclosure and start treating it like a mandatory oversight obligation. The DOJ is currently failing its statutory requirements under the Epstein Files Transparency Act. We were promised a full acc

From Congressman Joaquin Castro: ICE arrested a 5th grader and 2nd grader at the school bus stop in San Antonio as their classmates watched in horror. Their stepmother was detained with them.

Jose Yugar-Cruz is a 37-year-old father sitting in an immigration detention center in Iowa, waiting to be deported to the Democratic Republic of the Congo — a country he has never visited, where he has no family, and whose language he does not speak. A federal court already ruled that Jose cannot be

Stop the lies and bloodshed. Time is up.

Just days ago, the Trump White House insisted their war on Iran was over and the U.S. had won. Now we are once again exchanging fire, as the American military attempts to restore global energy supply lines to where they were before Trump attacked. We are well beyond the 60-day legal deadline for the

Protect birth control access. Birth control is healthcare.

I need you to support legislation that protects access to birth control and essential medications. Recent Supreme Court decisions have shown a willingness to roll back fundamental rights, and reproductive healthcare is increasingly under threat. Birth control is basic healthcare that millions of pe

URGENT: Restoring Institutional Competency in U.S. Diplomacy

I am writing to express my profound concern regarding the increasingly erratic and transactional nature of current U.S. foreign policy. Bragging about "piracy" in the Strait of Hormuz isn't a strategy; it’s a total collapse of institutional competency that puts our national security at risk. Treatin

Stop the Undeclared War on Cuba

Let’s be clear: A naval blockade is, by definition, an act of war. Under the Supreme Court’s Prize Cases precedent and international law, physically obstructing sovereign ports is a kinetic military action. It isn't just tough diplomacy—it is the commencement of hostilities. The Constitution is ex

End the profiteering and self-dealing.

The Trump crime family rakes in Pentagon contracts by selling interceptor drones to its very own U.S. Air Force! The eldest Trump sons are co-owners of Powerus, a Florida based U.S. tech company. The company is pitching its drones to gulf countries that are under attack from Iran, the war their dad

I am very concerned about recent efforts to undermine access to voting. Intentional gerrymandering, the SAVE act, attacks on mail in voting, federal interference in state elections, and the recent Callais ruling by the Supreme Court are all threatening ready access to voting. I urge you to urgently

Support the USPS Shipping Equity Act

I'm asking you to co-sponsor and vote yes on the USPS Shipping Equity Act. This legislation would allow the Postal Service to ship alcohol directly to consumers in states that already permit it, ending an outdated restriction that only benefits private carriers. Right now, USPS is banned from shipp

URGENT: Reject the $1.5 Trillion Defense Spending Maneuver

I am writing to demand that you oppose the administration's attempt to fund $350 billion of its $1.5 trillion defense request through budget reconciliation. This is not a policy debate; it is an assault on Article I authority. Using reconciliation to push through massive military spending is a proc

The separation of powers in the Constitution is a requirement. End the Iran war.

We are past the deadline for congressional approval on the war in Iran. Under the War Powers Act, the president was required to seek authorization or withdraw forces within 60 days. A temporary ceasefire does not reset that clock, and the continued U.S. military buildup in the region makes clear t

The Powers War Act is constitutional law. A blockade is an act of war. Republican senators are not weighing in and addressing the war. You are “choosing to abdicate your constitutional responsibilities”. If you are unwilling to do your job then get out. We need senators working for the people.

The Law Isn’t Optional: Enforce the War Powers Act

We are a nation of laws. That means the administration doesn't get to pick and choose which ones to follow. Today, May 1, is the legal deadline for the war in Iran. Under the War Powers Resolution, the 60-day clock has run out. This means the President is legally required to either get formal appro

Decrease fuel costs

Please help with the gas prices! I cannot afford my commute to my job at $5 per gallon. Please get it back below $3 per gallon. The cost of all goods is going to increase due to the increased cost of shipping fuel, and farmers are going to go bankrupt because of the cost of fuel for their machinery.

Congress must act to stop Trump’s illegal plan to destroy the US Forest Service

United States public lands will “pay the price” of Trump’s drive to restructure the agency that oversees them, union leaders have warned.
