Don’t Mess With Texas! Protect Big Bend National Park

I am a proud Texan. I adore our beautiful state. Big Bend is a Texan and national treasure! I am asking you to stop the construction of new border wall segments in Big Bend National Park and other remote areas along the Rio Grande. The financial burden of building a wall in this terrain is enormo

MONEY IS LIKE KEVLAR. IF YOU HAVE ENOUGH, YOU’RE BULLETPROOF

Uh oh. Mr. Trump might be sorry that he’s brought such focus to his financials with his DOJ’s IRS get-out-of-paying-taxes agreement. Looks like the media might be circling. Russia. Money. Laundering. All that. ‘Follow the money’ isn’t sexy but it sure is illuminating. Banks misbehaving. Not repor

Halt Big Bend Vehicle Border Wall Construction

I am writing to express my opposition to the proposed construction of additional border wall infrastructure within or adjacent to Big Bend National Park. Big Bend National Park is one of the most ecologically significant and culturally important landscapes in the United States. The park protects a

Texas should protect and strengthen successful public utilities rather than favoring policies that benefit for-profit monopoly utilities. Austin Energy and CPS Energy in San Antonio have demonstrated that publicly owned utilities can provide some of the lowest electric rates in Texas while maintaini

Vote AGAINST Todd Blanche

Senator Cornyn As a departing Senator, you have a wonderful opportunity to exert your values and vote against the appointment of Todd Blanche as Attorney General. A founding principle of this country is having an independent judiciary. The appointment of the President’s personal lawyer to subvert th

Block Gas Plant Permits for Private Data Center Power

Vote against any permits, subsidies, or policy support for gas-fired power plants built to serve private data centers. Texas is on track to nearly double statewide power demand within five years, and developers are responding by building massive private gas plants that bypass the public grid entirel

THIS IS WHAT THEY REALLY THINK ABOUT EPSTEIN VICTIMS. NOT MUCH

In case anyone needs verification of just how slimy politics is… A number of survivors of Jeffrey Epstein released a statement Tuesday condemning two Republican senators who they say refused to meet with them before caving to Donald Trump’s attorney general pick. John Cornyn and Thom Tillis annou

Stop Any Border Wall Construction in the Greater Big Bend Region

I am a Texan that loves our beautiful state. I am begging that you oppose any border wall construction anywhere in the Greater Big Bend region of Texas, including Big Bend National Park, Big Bend Ranch State Park, Black Gap Wildlife Management Area, Seminole Canyon State Park, and the surrounding pr

As contractors continue pouring into Big Bend and communities across South and West Texas, billions of American tax dollars are being spent to destroy American land. This has gone beyond a policy disagreement. It has gone beyond a crisis. It is becoming an irreversible tragedy. Congress has the cons

From a verified voter in Killeen, TX

You recently said there is nothing Congress can do to rein in this president. That simply isn’t true. Congress has oversight authority, the power of the purse, confirmation authority, and the responsibility to serve as a constitutional check on the executive branch. The problem is not that Congress

From a verified voter in Converse, TX

If you truly believe "There is nothing we could do to rein in the president", resign. You are a member of the Senate, which should be putting restraint on the President. That is your literal JOB.

Defund ICE and Close Delaney Hall Detention Facility

Edwin Lopez-Cornejo is dead. He was 41 years old, held at Delaney Hall in Newark for six weeks, and his mother says he was complaining of numbness in his face and hand before he died. This is the second death at that facility since it reopened in 2025. Watchdog groups tracking ICE custody deaths say

Mandate Sustainability Standards for AI Data Centers

Pass legislation requiring all AI data centers operating in this country to meet strict sustainability standards, and shut down those that refuse to comply. This isn't a fringe demand. Infomaniak's Euria AI assistant runs entirely on renewable energy, wastes zero water, and feeds waste heat back int

Do not vote to confirm Todd Blanche as the next Attorney General of the United States. Todd Blanche orchestrated the transfer of Ghislaine Maxwell, a convicted sex trafficker and abuser and recruiter and accomplice to Jeffery Epstein, from a maximum security prison in Florida to a minimum security

Enforce the Law—Release the Epstein Files Now

I demand immediate action to enforce the law and compel the full release of the Jeffrey Epstein files. Congress exercised its constitutional authority by requiring these records to be released. Yet months later, the Department of Justice continues to withhold information from the American people. A

Congratulations on caving once again! I thought you were going to do the right thing for once, but yet again you failed. So congratulations on not only losing your job but your backbone as well. Bless your heart.

From a verified voter in Garland, TX

Do not vote to confirm Todd Blanche as the next U.S. Attorney General. I’m astonished, as a trained lawyer, you would be so naive as to accept this worthless agreement from Todd Blanche as any sort of binding contract. You know better. More importantly, WE know better. Are you trying to fool

From a verified voter in Dallas, TX

You’re a coward for caving in and approving Blanche. When has this administration ever told the truth? You’re a spineless coward and the senate will be a better place when you’re gone from it.

GOP SENATORS ARE GOING TO HIRE A CROOKED COP

It’s very confusing to live in a world where things are promised that never come true. Where language is used to confuse and obfuscate rather than mean anything. Where our elected officials constantly and consistently use the most disingenuous methods known to man to cover their asses. And truly b

Guarantee ICE Detainees Access to Medical Care and Family Contact

Demand immediate action to guarantee ICE detainees access to their medication and regular family contact. What happened to Gabriel Johnson — a 55-year-old Liberian refugee and 40-year legal resident of North Carolina — is exactly what happens when there is no accountability inside detention faciliti

A Health Secretary Who Rejects Science Must Go. Remove RFK Jr.

I urge you to call for the immediate removal of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as Secretary of Health and Human Services. This weekend he again spread medical misinformation while serving as America’s top health official: • Repeated the false claim that vaccines cause autism. • Suggested Tylenol causes aut

From a constituent in Austin, TX

Did not confirm Todd Blanche as attorney general! Sure, Todd Blanche agreed to kill the January 6th slush fund. But he engineered the fraud on the government in the first place! And he's protecting all the pedophiles in the Trump administration!

From a constituent in San Antonio, TX

No IRS immunity or no Blanche!

Thank you for successfully holding out for written assurance that the $1.8 slush fund is completely dead. But an unsigned statement limiting the scope of proposed immunity for the President and his circle of family and business associates is not sufficient. IRS immunity should, we think, be comple
