Texas Open Letters
OUR PRESIDENT IS A WEAK BUT DANGEROUS MAN
It’s true. The current hubbub over the Reflecting Pool debacle shouldn’t be the most important thing on our collective minds. It should be the corruption. The Iran war. The incompetence. The assault on our civil liberties. Attacks on the law. Erosion of our voting rights. Epstein. But it’s just
**Introduce Legislation to Fix H.R. 1's Harmful Medicaid Provisions** H.R. 1 has passed, and the damage it will do to people with rapidly progressing conditions is now a matter of when, not if. Please introduce legislation to fix the Medicaid work requirements and six-month eligibility redeterminati
Please Support Public Education
I’m writing to express my deep outrage over the administration’s dismantling of the Department of Education and its vital programs and workforce. As a constituent, I have a few asks of you: 1. Please oppose the transfer of education programs to other agencies that will not sufficiently enforce laws
Shut Down Dilley and End Family Detention in Texas
Shut down the Dilley Immigration Processing Center — permanently — and use every tool available to close every family detention facility in Texas. What is happening at Dilley is not a policy disagreement. It is a human rights crisis, and it is happening on your watch. Children as young as infants a
Shut Down ICE Detention Centers and Defund ICE
Shut down every ICE detention center and defund the agency entirely. The death rate in ICE immigrant detention facilities has more than doubled under the current administration. People are dying — a Vietnamese man with cardiovascular problems collapsed and died in the "Speedway Slammer," a repurpose
Restore Teen Pregnancy Prevention Funding — Don't Leave Teens Without Resources
Restore the $67 million in Teen Pregnancy Prevention Program funding that HHS just gutted. Cutting 53 of 67 TPP grants doesn't protect teenagers — it abandons them, and the communities hit hardest are communities of color, where teen pregnancy already creates the steepest barriers to education, econ
Why Is the DOJ Ignoring the Law? Release Every Epstein File Now
I am demanding immediate action to force the complete release of every remaining Epstein file. The law required these records to be released by December 2025. That deadline came and went more than six months ago. Yet millions of pages remain hidden from the American people. The administration is op
No money for this Republican administration’s Iran War
I am writing to urge you to vote NO on the Pentagon's $80 billion Iran war supplemental fund request. This Republican administration’s wasteful, unnecessary, and illegal war has cost American lives wasted billions, and has further destabilized an already unstable region of the world. It will take y
Oppose combining with, and distance ourselves from Israel and their military
I am writing to express my strong opposition to any proposals or efforts aimed at combining or integrating the United States military with the military of Israel. While maintaining strategic alliances has historically been a component of national security, merging operational structures, command hie
No Additional Funding For Trump's Illegal War With IRAN - NONE!
Published reports indicate the administration is requesting an additional $80 billion for the failed skirmish with Iran. Make no mistake, there can be no additional funding for an illegal war. Please speak out against additional funding and vote 'no' should it come to a vote.
AMERICA NEEDS TO CHANGE THE CHANNEL ON TRUMP & THE GOP
How’s life in the land of smoke and mirrors these days? How’s your stable genius doing? How’s the plan for world domination coming along? And most importantly, how’s the Reflecting Pool reality show going? Yes, it’s all ridiculous. Incompetence is the new normal. America is led by a blathering foo
From Heather Cox Richardson’s blog: “Upon hearing of the arrest of former Olympian David Hearn for destruction of government property after he touched the detached liner of the pool “but didn’t destroy or break or peel anything,” conservative commentator David Frum wrote: “If destruction of governme
Be Fiscally Smart - Stop Protecting Billionaires and Start Protecting Americans
I am demanding to know why working class Americans are expected to shoulder a heavier tax burden than the wealthiest people on Earth. How is it possible that ordinary families, small business owners, teachers, nurses, and retirees pay significantly higher effective tax rates than billionaires whose
Investigate and stop Todd Blanche’s criminal activity
I am writing to express my profound concern regarding the appointment of Todd Blanche as Attorney General of the United States. My concerns are not rooted in partisan disagreement. They arise from a growing pattern of conduct that suggests the Department of Justice is being transformed from an inde
I am writing to ask a question that I believe many Texans are asking: Why are you not standing up for Texas? Texas leaders often speak about protecting Texas values, defending property rights, preserving our heritage, and putting Texans first. But when it comes to large-scale border infrastructure
I am writing to urge you to oppose further border wall construction and associated infrastructure development along the Rio Grande and the Texas borderlands. This is not just about a wall. It is about the roads, clearing, lighting, barriers, and permanent changes to land that cannot be restored onc
Please do not pass the Save America Act and keep the filibuster! At times all parties need to work together.
This Republican administration ruined the Reflecting Pool, not vandals
The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool is filled with green algae because of an incompetent, overpriced renovation, not vandalism. The buried pipes connecting the pool to its treatment plant were never repaired, so the filtration system wasn't running when the basin refilled. The Interior Department
Disability rights are human rights. Disability is something that could happen to any one of us at any time. For those who have been living and navigating the laws and rights of the disabled community, it is terrifying to see talk of medical records being released without HIPPA compliance, see regist
“The President of the United States spent Father’s Day threatening to obliterate a country, sabotaging his own peace deal, and lying to the American people about the state of their economy. He is not in control. The people around him know he is not in control, and it is our job to document what is h
Trump Trashes Washington, Then Demands Arrests. Who Is the Real Vandal?
Make this make sense. The party that claims to defend family values pardons January 6 rioters who assaulted police officers, yet people are arrested for touching a reflecting pool damaged after a failed taxpayer funded project. If damaging government property is the concern, perhaps Congress shoul
Defend Olmstead — No Forced Institutionalization
Defend the Olmstead decision. The Trump DOJ quietly released a memo attacking the landmark 1999 Supreme Court ruling that protects people with psychiatric disabilities from forced institutionalization — and you need to push back against any executive action that follows from it. Legal experts are c
Congress Must Defeat NSPM-7 Immediately To Protect The First Amendment
The administration’s new memo, NATIONAL SECURITY PRESIDENTIAL MEMORANDUM (NSPM-7) is yet another solution in search of a problem. The simple fact is that political violence is exceedingly rare in our nation. The solution offered in the NSPM-7 is abusive and would criminalize normal everyday protes
“Minnesota governor Tim Walz commented: “Found an imaginary problem, said only they could fix it, didn’t listen to experts, hired buddies who grifted millions, failed miserably, bragged how great it went. The entire Trump presidency in a nutshell.”” And we can all see it with our own eyes. The Eas
Stop the ballroom and arch from being the next Reflecting Pool
Given the predictable (to anyone who has owned or maintained a pool) Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool debacle, I am writing to urge you to block funding for this Republican administration’s proposed ballroom and arch projects. The Reflecting Pool contract ballooned to $14.7 million. The original es
