HHS should promote good science, not quackery

HHS Secretary Kennedy is promising to determine the cause of autism by fall of 2024. To do so, hired David Geier, “a man who has repeatedly claimed a link between vaccines and autism” and “who the state of Maryland found was practicing medicine on a child without a doctor’s license.” In addition, le

Preserve judicial independence and checks on executive overreach

The NORRA of 2025 (HR 1526) would significantly restrict the power of federal district courts to issue injunctive relief orders. It prohibits district courts from issuing injunctions except in limited cases involving parties directly before the court. For multi-state challenges to executive branch a

Carefully consider impacts of H.R. 22 on voter rights

Reject discriminatory voting restrictions, protect equal ballot access

This harmful legislation would erect unnecessary barriers to voting that disproportionately impact marginalized communities. Requiring strict documentary proof of citizenship is an undue burden that would disenfranchise many eligible voters, including the elderly, low-income individuals, and those i

Impeach Trump and Vance

Vance and Trump both need to be impeached. They ignore court orders, betray our allies, they have dismantled much needed agencies, destroyed the economy, and the list could go on and on. They do not represent the interest of the American people, they only care about themselves and their billionaire

Stop the tariffs now!

These tariffs need to stop, and they need to stop now. The 90 day tariff pause just announced is good, but we can’t just keep mistreating our allies and good friends. Putting a reasonable tariff on China is one thing, but putting a tariff on countries that we have a trade surplus with seems very

Congress, Reclaim Your Authority Over Tariffs!

I'm writing to ask that you, as one of my legislators, support bipartisan legislation like the Trade Review Act of 2025 to reclaim Congress’s authority over US trade policy and block Trump’s destructive and nonsensical tariffs. These tariffs are a multitrillion dollar tax increase on Americans and a

Please pass a resolution to stop the tariffs. My 401k is down, for only one reason: the president has too much power! Congress has power to save the economy by ending this trade war. We need a strong economy. We need our allies. You can end this awful trade war with a resolution.

Uphold dignity for CBP One arrivals, protect asylum rights

Revoking humanitarian parole and telling migrants who legally entered through the CBP One app to leave immediately is a misguided decision that betrays our values as a nation of immigrants.

Reverse the Tariffs

I understand that Sen. Ron Wyden just released a bipartisan privileged resolution that would repeal Trump's tariffs. It’s co-sponsored by Rand Paul. I want the Senator to sign on to it.

Block the Return of Predatory Bank Fees

Reject Cuts to Medicare and Medicaid to Fund Billionaire Tax Giveaways

Protect Public Lands!

I oppose the devaluation and giveaway of public lands in the House rules (Sec. 3, Part 3, (2)(A-B)). By treating these spaces as disposable and omitting any meaningful guardrails for their use, Congress is not solving problems; it's creating new ones. Citizens have a right—and a responsibility—to d
