The White House Does Not Get to Choose the Press

I am writing because President Trump’s announcement that CNN, MS NOW, and Politico are banned from the White House demands an immediate and unequivocal response from Congress. This is not normal political sparring with the media. This is the President of the United States attempting to use the powe

As your constituent I request you support and vote for the House resolution to end military actions in Iran. The President posted on social media that his original intent was to topple the current Iranian government telling the Iranian people to “take control of their government.” When that failed

I am very confused. If the US Federal Government can afford to send a $5000 dividend to every adult, why is this administration requesting Congress to freeze federal employee pay? If the Fed can send every adult $5000, the fed can afford to raise every federal employee’s pay by the inflation rate a

President Trump has stated “America’s economy is the hottest on the planet.” Ok, then why is he recommending a freeze on federal civilians pay raises? This is about as cogent a pair of states as that time he went on national television and told the entire globe that he’s the only President who over

Protect Our Elections From Presidential Interference

Americans should not have to wonder whether the rules for casting their ballots will suddenly change weeks before an election because of an executive order from the President. Yet that is exactly the uncertainty voters and election officials are facing ahead of the 2026 midterm elections. The Trum

Do Not Abandon Your Duties Before the Midterms

Congress should absolutely not adjourn for an extended recess before the midterm elections. You were elected to govern—not to leave Washington for nearly two months while Americans are struggling with healthcare costs, housing, groceries, childcare, and countless other urgent issues. If members of

Urgent: Congress Must Stop This Unconstitutional Escalation and Embarrassment

This is embarrassing, dangerous, and entirely beneath the United States of America.

Protect Due Process for Asylum Seekers

I urge you to demand immediate oversight of the Trump administration’s reported plan to revoke visas for up to 200,000 people seeking asylum.

The President Cannot Simply Declare Foreign Territory American

I’m asking Congress to respond to President Trump’s repeated claims that the Strait of Hormuz is now, or will become, United States territory.
