Protect the American/World Economy!

First, I’m furious about Trump’s tariffs. They are going to crash our economy, destroy our standing in the world, and financially wreck Americans like me. Congress has the power to repeal them by ending Trump’s so-called emergency, and they must. If Congress doesn’t step in right now to protect work

Save the ACA

More than 20 million Americans have gotten more affordable health insurance thanks to the enhanced Affordable Care Act premium tax credit in the American Rescue Plan.

Resist Trump: this is a constitutional crisis!

I demand that the Congressmember call for Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and National Security Advisor Michael Waltz to resign immediately due to their reckless and illegal disclosure of national security secrets. Their actions have put our country at risk and immediate accountability is necessar

Protect our courts and the CFPB

I’m outraged by Congressional Republicans’ attacks on the courts. I want the Congressmember to vote no on H.R.1702 the JUDGES Act, which would allow President Trump to appoint 22 new lifetime federal judges, enabling him to stack courts with loyalists. I want the Congressmember to vote no on H.R.178

Protect Social Security!

I’m very concerned about DOGE’s attacks on Social Security. Rep. John Larson has introduced 3 bills to protect it and I want the Congressmember to co-sponsor them all. They are HR 1876the Keeping Our Field Offices Open Act to put a moratorium on the closure of Social Security Field Offices, HR 1877,

Checks and Balances

Dear congressmen and women from all parties. I urge you to use your power within checks and balances to limit President Trump’s power. Currently, no one besides the judicial branch is following the checks and balances our founding fathers put in place. I urge you to listen to your constituents on th

Demand due process for detained Tufts PhD student

It is highly concerning that Rumeysa Ozturk, a PhD student at Tufts University, has been abruptly arrested and detained by immigration agents without any formal charges or due process.

Hegseth and Waltz must resign

I am horrified that top cabinet officials including the Vice President, Secretary of Defense, and National Security Adviser—were caught using a commercial messaging app to discuss secret war plans for Yemen this week. Shockingly, they accidentally included a journalist in the group chat. This alarmi

We’ll Support You—But Only If You Fight for Us

congress I’m writing to you not as a political adversary, but as a deeply disappointed constituent who has, for years, believed in the promise of a Democratic Party that would stand for working people, democracy, and the public good. That belief is being tested. I recently read a detailed article

Demand Immediate Action on National Security Breach

I’m writing today as a concerned and frustrated constituent.

Save the CDC's HIV Prevention Division! It monitors HIV infection rates and leads crucial HIV testing and prevention efforts. Their efforts have been highly effective, with new HIV infections decreasing by 12% from 2018 to 2022. Defunding or eliminating this highly effective and impactful CDC divisi

Demand an independent audit of Elon Musk’s federal contracts

It’s very concerning that Elon Musk’s companies have billions of dollars of federal contracts that send taxpayer dollars to the richest man in the world. It’s even more concerning how these contracts are getting doled out with Musk in power. Recent reporting shows Trump’s State Department had plann

I'm with you on Mahmoud Khalil

Thank you for advocating for the release of Mahmoud Khalil. His groundless arrest and the unconstitutional revocation of his permanent resident status are a horrifying escalation of the Trump administration's war on the rule of law in this country. By staunchly advocating for Khalil's civil rights,

Do your job and hold your colleagues to the same standard

I am appalled that Congress has been supine and has permitted Trump and Musk to usurp its constitutional powers. Stop normalising Trump's high crimes & misdemeanours. Condemn them daily. Contradict his lies. He has already done things far worse than his previous impeachment charges. I am outrage

Government censorship threatens free speech and public discourse

Transparency regarding the specific actions taken by my representatives to oppose the suppression of language and ideas within federal agencies is crucial.

As your constituent, I am deeply concerned about the financial and human costs of this funding for everyone

Please save Social Security, please communicate with your constituents

I see that Leland Dudek, the acting commissioner of the Social Security Administration who is manifestly unqualified for that position, has backed down from the incredibly idiotic decision to end the Enumeration at Birth program in Maine, after well-deserved, widespread criticism of that absurdly st
