Stop DOJ Overreach That Threatens Free Speech and Civil Liberties

I am writing to express my deep alarm over reports of a leaked Department of Justice memo directing federal law enforcement to treat broad political and social ideologies as potential indicators of “domestic terrorism.” This signals a dangerous and potentially unconstitutional overreach. The founda

It is time to remove Donald Trump from office. It has been proven time and again that he is not fit to lead our country. This week has brought it home again with his abhorrent statements regarding the horrible murder of Rob and Michelle Reiner. He is clearly not putting his thoughts toward how to ma

Remove DHS Secretary Kristi Noem

Seriously, enough is enough. DHS Secretary Kristi Noem has turned her agency into a rogue operation, and she thinks she can just lie to Congress about it? Spoiler alert: she can't!

I'm appalled by Trump's new “Gold Card” immigration program! As you probably have heard, wealthy foreign nationals who want their residency fast tracked can pay DHS a $15,000. Then once their background checks are done, they pay $1,000,000 payment to the federal government. Corporations pay $2,000,0

Prevent the repeal of section 230

ACA Bill

I’m incredibly disappointed that the ACA premium tax credit extension bill just got voted down in the Senate.
