I am writing to commend the Senate for passing S. J. Res. 37, ending this fake national emergency and revoking Trump’s power to pass tariffs. I urge the House to do everything possible to pass it as well, including reaching out to the majority party to persuade them. This is what checks and balance

Vote NO on any war

Donald Trump's reckless rhetoric is once again pushing the United States to the brink of war. On Meet the Press on Sunday, Trump threatened Iran, saying that "if they don’t make a deal, there will be bombing, and it will be bombing the likes of which they have never seen before." Congress must act i

I will keep this message brief. Today Cory Booker has been speaking for over 12 hours and is still continuing. This is what a true patriot does. This is how you fight fascism.

Reject order censoring history, preserve educational freedom and progress.

The executive order from the president aims to censor truthful accounts of American history, especially regarding marginalized communities like Black, Indigenous, and LGBTQ people.

The SAVE Act proposed by Senate Republicans represents a dangerous attack on voting rights that would disenfranchise millions of eligible citizens across the country.

Some examples of how Social Security is being purposely sabotaged in a concerted effort to collapse it as a pretext to privatizing it. 1. The SSA site crashed 4 times in 10 days this month. 2. Phone service is a mess following illegal cuts by Musk which again is illegal. 3. The agency no longer has

Object to unanimous consent

Please object to unanimous consent. We want them to slow down. We want their stupid moves to take as long as possible. And we desperately need to see someone in Congress doing *something* to obstruct this high-speed sh!tshow. Thanks for considering.

From a constituent in Manchester, CT

Our government is in dire need of comprehensive reform to restore faith and functionality. Filibuster abuse has rendered the Senate ineffective, with a mere 41 senators able to obstruct the will of the majority.

Reject Trump's Unconstitutional Voter Suppression Order

The right to vote is a cornerstone of democracy.
