From a constituent in Brooklyn, NYDangerous Tariffs Implemented by Trump
The ridiculous and unnecessary tariffs announced by Trump are dangerous. This creates even more economic and political instability throughout the entire world. Trump's admiration for McKinley are bizarre to say the least. Tariffs and isolation did not work in the early 20th century and surely a
From a verified voter in Brooklyn, NYSafeguard sensitive data from improper DOGE access, oversight lacking
Protecting sensitive government data and systems from potential misuse or unauthorized access is of utmost importance.

From a verified voter in Brooklyn, NYDefend 22nd Amendment and Democratic Norms Against Unlawful Power Grabs
The recent comments from President Trump about seeking an unconstitutional third term are deeply concerning for the future of American democracy. The Constitution is clear that no person can serve more than two elected terms as president. Any attempts to circumvent this vital rule through loopholes
From a constituent in Brooklyn, NYRumeysa Ozturk
Rumeysa Ozturk was kidnapped off of the streets in Massachusetts. The Trump administration is abducting people illegally and needs to be stopped. What is his intent? In my opinion, it is just strongman tactics to create fear and use this fear to intimidate his opponents into submission. We, the
From a verified voter in Brooklyn, NYOppose compensating January 6th rioters with taxpayer funds
Utilizing taxpayer funds to compensate the rioters involved in the January 6th attack on the Capitol would be a miscarriage of justice. Those who engaged in domestic terrorism and sought to undermine our democratic processes should face appropriate legal consequences for their actions, not be reward
From a constituent in Brooklyn, NYAccountability for Security Breach
If I errantly emailed or texted proprietary information to someone outside of my company, I'd surely, and rightly, lose my job for divulging trade secrets. How can the VP and Cabinet members that mistakenly texting members of the press not be held accountable for divulging classified information?
From a constituent in Brooklyn, NYProtect Social Security
My father relies on Social Security, as do many seniors. The attack on social security by the Trump regime and DOGE is putting many people at risk. Billionaires like Lutnick and Musk consider them fraudsters and parasites. They hold our citizens in contempt and consider them beneath them. They are
From a verified voter in Brooklyn, NYDefend rule of law, resist authoritarianism and tyranny
The rule of law is the inviolable cornerstone of democracy, without which the entire system crumbles into lawless tyranny. President Trump's outrageous subversion of the judiciary by dismissing charges against Mayor Adams and defying court orders regarding detained Venezuelans amounts to a brazen co
From a verified voter in Brooklyn, NYSupport Anti-Corruption Measures for Fair Government Contracts
The proposed ELON MUSK Act aims to prevent conflicts of interest and ensure transparency in federal spending by prohibiting special government employees like Elon Musk from receiving lucrative government contracts. Musk has personally benefited from over $20 billion in federal contracts to his busin
From a constituent in Brooklyn, NYTrump Plans for Tesla and Musk Protestors
This morning Trump has posted that the "sick terrorist thugs get 20 year sentences for what they are doing to Elon Musk and Tesla.". He then suggested that they should go to prison in El Salvador. We are a nation of laws. Protestors that vandalize property are subject to those laws and should cl

The President has issued an order removing the ban on federal contracts with businesses that operate racially segregated facilities, a significant reversal from policies promoting racial integration and equal opportunity. This regressive move risks resurrecting the injustices of the past and undermi
From a constituent in Brooklyn, NYFREE MAHMOUD KHALIL AND ALL POLITICAL PRISONERS

From a verified voter in Brooklyn, NYReconsider in-person identity verification for Social Security accessibility
The Social Security Administration's new requirement for in-person identity verification is concerning, as it could impose significant barriers for many recipients, especially those in rural areas or with mobility limitations.

From a verified voter in Brooklyn, NYUphold due process, release Mahmoud Khalil without prejudice
The detention of Mahmoud Khalil without due process is a concerning violation of civil liberties. His arrest by DHS agents without a warrant, the denial of information about the charges against him, and his subsequent imprisonment raise serious questions about adherence to constitutional protections
From a constituent in Brooklyn, NYTrump Defies Court Rulings
The Trump administration has said, " we don't care," what the courts have decreed. There three separate and equal branches of government, at least for now. If the executive branch defies court orders and Congress doesn't intervene, then where does that put out government? In order to preserve th

The security and stability of our social safety net programs like Social Security must be safeguarded against exploitation or defunding efforts driven by corporate interests like Doge's proposed changes to phone services for Social Security offices.

From a constituent in Brooklyn, NYThis is a democracy- you can’t kidnap people in the shadows!
I am writing today to express my concern about the tactics that our government, and specifically ICE are using. I wrote to you about Mahmoud Khalil last week and I read about the surgeon from Brown Medical University who was deported while on a legal H1B visa until 2027 and of course, the illegal de

Trump is now trying to rescind pardons issued by Joe Biden. There is no provision for that. He is completely out of control and running roughshod over the Constitution. He has no respect for the law of the land. Please fight this attempt by this want to be dictator. If he is allowed to weaponiz
From a verified voter in Brooklyn, NYUnauthorized Treasury debits threaten rule of law, democracy
The Trump administration debited $80.5 million from New York City's bank account to "claw back" routine FEMA payments without notice, based on dubious claims of illegal activities at refugee housing sites. This alarming reversal of finalized payments could degrade faith in the reliability of the pay

The recent deportations of hundreds of alleged gang members from Venezuela to El Salvador appear to violate a federal court order temporarily halting such removals. While the administration claims the flights had already departed before the judge's ruling, the judiciary serves as a crucial check on
From a constituent in Brooklyn, NYTrump Violating Court Orders and the Constitution
Yesterday I emailed about how Trump has overstepped his authority yet again invoking the Alien Enemies Act. We are not at war nor is there any invasion, so his sideshow here is a means for him to deport as many people as possible as quickly as possible. He has not complied with court orders to ceas
From a constituent in Brooklyn, NYTrump Abuse of Power
Trump and his fascist regime is once again abusing their power. Invoking the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 is an egregious abuse of his powers. There is no invasion and we are not at war. This is simply a tool for him to deport as many people that he can as quickly as he can. His xenophobic tendencies

You must sign the letter of support for Mahmoud Khalil.
