65 Days Worked. $174k Salary. Republicans Lecture Us About Welfare.

Dear Members of Congress, For decades, Republican members of Congress have lectured Americans about welfare dependency, government handouts, and the moral virtue of hard work. We are writing to ask a simple question: by your own standards, what do you call collecting $174,000 a year while working 65

The Saudi East-West pipeline has been shut down after an attack by the Iranian-backed Houthis. This is a direct result of your idol’s stupid, unchecked by Congress, decision to attack Iran. He is a child, yet you still worship him. What the hell is wrong with you?

No Bailout for AI Companies

With the heads of various AI companies suddenly wringing their hands about the need to slow down their own tech, I would just like to remind you: There is absolutely no reason for these people to get a government bailout, ever. They are not too big to fail. They are not necessary to the functionin

The Wildlife Management Areas are severely under-funded. My husband is especially concerned about the Thompson Lake WMA. He says something about the infrastructure of the lake is broken. Will that be repaired anytime soon?

Same Candidate. Same FCC. Same Censorship. Third Time. Congress Must Act.

Dear Members of Congress, Tonight, Jimmy Kimmel announced that his planned interview with Texas Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico will not air on ABC.

Did you know that as of Wednesday, the Kennedy Center has still not bothered to clean up the rug in the Grand Foyer? Perhaps as a Board Member, Senator Warner's phone calls might get a response. Mine don't.

Are you going to call for an investigation of these very large cash gifts that Trump apparently made as "Christmas gifts" to Federal employees? §209 seems to be clearly written.

It is obvious that you have decided that remaining in power is more important than acting in the interests of your constituents and the nation. I sincerely hope the voters in the 9th district think before they vote and ask themselves if you are worthy of their trust and respect. You have certainly n

Sanctions against Israel!

Protect my El Salvadoran students' families

I am a teacher in 22152 and I am scared to death - we have so many El Salvadoran families in our school and with the expiration of TPS, they are worried about losing the lives they have built here, some of them for as long as twenty years. Families like the one whose oldest children I taught in Kind

I sincerely hope voters in the 9th district will see your cowardice and corruption and vote you out of office. You don’t deserve the respect once given to members of Congress in the days before your hero took over the Republican Party.

Concentration Camps. Force Feeding. Torture. Congress Must Act Now.

We are going to use a word. Concentration camps. Because that is what they are.

Support the AI Kill Switch Act

Vote yes on the AI Kill Switch Act. As AI systems grow more powerful and more embedded in critical infrastructure, the absence of a reliable shutdown mechanism isn't a theoretical risk — it's a live one.

USPS Built a Secret Ballot System Nine Weeks Before the Midterms. Act Now.

Today, September 1, 2026 — nine weeks before the midterm elections — a federal whistleblower revealed that the U.S. Postal Service secretly built an entirely new IT system to restrict mail ballot delivery while courts were actively blocking that very effort. The whistleblower’s 20-page report, relea
