Protect kids from a livestreamed execution

I'm asking you to stop the Pentagon's plan to livestream the December 3 firing squad execution of Nidal Hasan. Please publicly urge Secretary Hegseth to cancel the broadcast, and support language in the defense bill or any spending measure that bars federal funds from being used to record or stream

Is Trump Negotiating Peace With His Imaginary Friends?

Remember the war Trump promised to end in 24 hours? Nearly two years into his presidency, Russia and Ukraine are still fighting. Now Trump has triumphantly announced an immediate energy ceasefire that neither country has confirmed. Did Trump dream this agreement? Imagine it? Or did he hold an imag

Abolish Ice now! Ice is an out of control federal agency! At the very least, I need to follow all the rules that local police have to follow. I should wear identifying clothing, body cams, not shoot blindly into moving cars!

Questions for the GOP Congress…when will you acknowledge that DJT has undermined US national security and is working for Russia? How much longer will you protect him as he does? Ten years of Trump family grooming by Russia has given us a president who exhibits a fealty to Vladimir Putin that makes

I am writing as your constituent to urge you to reject the American Affordability and Jobs Act and its harmful changes to bedrock environmental safeguards. The bill would make major changes to the Endangered Species Act, including allowing qualifying states to assume responsibility for federal Sect

The video of a wheelchair-bound Hasan executed by firing squad will serve as ready-made propaganda for jihadist groups like Al Qaeda and Islamic State. They have already using this execution plan to recruit more members. I don’t understand how this benefits the United States. You must demand that D

I am writing to express my absolute opposition to Trump’s Russian diesel agreement and his decision to ease sanctions on Russian energy. Russia is our adversary. Supporting Russia financially undermines American national security, strengthens Putin’s war against Ukraine, and endangers our European a

Block Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth from livestreaming or publicly broadcasting any military execution. Hold emergency hearings, demand the Pentagon’s legal authority, prohibit federal funds from being used to turn executions into public spectacles, and pass legislation banning public military exec

Nothing Says “Pro Life” Like a Livestreamed Execution!

Nothing screams “pro life” quite like inviting Americans to watch a man die by firing squad. How very Christian! Republicans tried to ban drag shows to protect children from offensive entertainment. Now Trump’s Pentagon wants to livestream an execution. Suddenly the answer is, “Offended? Don’t watc

No public execution

A public execution is sick and wrong, no matter what the perpetrator did. Please discourage this horrendous display of violence.

IS THIS THE AMERICA THE GOP WANTS? YES. IT IS.

Of all the heinous, corrupt, morally-bankrupt, void of humanity actions taken by the Trump administration, they still manage to figure out how to do even worse things. The Trump administration will be sponsoring a televised, love-streamed public execution. The ultimate reality show. Words fail. P

Public Execution

To livestream the execution of anyone, never mind a man in a wheelchair, is barbaric and beyond disturbing. That my country has regressed to public executions with so little comment from public officials is unspeakable. It is also a propaganda gift to jihadists putting us all at risk. Your silence

As the scandal surrounding US Ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle continues to explode in the media, Donnie-boy’s lackey administration members are so embarrassed they pretend they haven’t heard about it or that the allegations don’t deserve a response because they are unproven. You must demand

‘Representative Jason Crow (D-CO), who served as a paratrooper and Army Ranger and is now on the House Armed Services Committee and the House Intelligence Committee, said: “Pete Hegseth has taken our military’s tradition of selfless service and flipped it on its head. With this public execution, he

The US Government has no business buying diesel fuel from Russia at a time that the US and our allies are attempting to enforce sanctions on Putin's regime. This is a ludicrous action on the part of Mr. Trump, and I urge you to do everything in congresses' power to block this.

Only two countries carried out public executions last year the Taliban and Iran! Fire Hegseth! Hagseth has mismanaged the Iranian war! Lied about the damage, and weakened our military!

No Nobel? “The Orange Plague” Captures His Presidency Perfectly!

What a tragedy! Donald Trump has once again been denied the Nobel Peace Prize. Apparently, the committee frowns on bullying, threatening nations, launching wars, and military operations that leave schoolchildren dead. Clearly, nobody understands his unique definition of peace! Europe has provided

Stop the Public Broadcasting of Nidal Hasan’s Execution

I am your constituent. I am begging you to please halt this public execution. This is a line we must not cross. Justice must never become a public spectacle, and the execution of a convicted mass murderer must never become a national broadcast entertainment show. Nidal Hasan committed horrific acts

Stop Hegseth’s Live-streamed Murder

I am writing to express my utter disgust and horror at Pete Hegseth’s disgraceful plan to livestream the execution of Nidal Hasan. The very idea is barbarous; it’s monstrous. And it puts this country in some of the worst company in the world. We ended public executions a century ago. And now Hegset

Demand Accountability for ICE Shooting in Marble Hill

Demand a full public investigation into the October 8 ICE shooting in Marble Hill, release all body camera footage immediately, and defund ICE. What happened on that street was not a law enforcement operation gone wrong — it was a preview of what unchecked paramilitary power looks like in a resident

We cannot be a country that allows broadcasting an execution. The death penalty can be debated. But an execution by death squad live-streamed across the world. There are simply no words to describe how heinous that is, and what an embarrassment to a “Christian” country. Please step in and stop this

From a constituent in Dripping Springs, TX

There is understandable public outrage right now over the Cornell rapes. I feel the same level of outrage over the Trump-Epstein crimes. The Trump-Epstein scandal will not go away until of the victims, both girls and women, are truly listened to and see justice served. And Blanche must be impeache

Object to the Unconstitutional and Inhumane Live Execution of an American

I was horrified to hear that the US government will be executing a man, live, by firing squad. The compounding horror of contemplation of a live execution by a modern government is appalling – a wound inflicted on an already suffering America. If the U.S., as an egalitarian modern nation, proceeds
