Implement tariffs on Russian imports to address trade deficit

The existing sanctions imposed on Russia by the United States are insufficient measures to address the ongoing trade imbalance and Russia's actions. A baseline tariff should be implemented on Russian imports in addition to the current sanctions regime. While sanctions restrict certain economic activ

It is time to stop shipments of offensive weapons to Israel. Senator Sanders has made this point forcefully in the Senate. And I suspect others have voiced it in the House as well. The hard-right Israeli government has been given a free hand to destroy the people of Gaza and the West bank. It is tim

Dear Senators Cantwell and Murray, I'm writing to thank you and strongly commend both of you for standing with Senator Cory Booker during his filibuster. I called his office at about the 17th hour to thank him for so forcefully and literally taking a stand in the face of the unconscionable road to f

Undo these extreme import taxes

Congress needs to reclaim its control of taxation. Any so-called “emergencies” allowing for these ridiculous tariffs to be enacted must be overruled. There is no emergency that these extreme taxes will fix. It will only crash the economy and make the United States a weaker and more unstable nation.

Protect funding for diversity programs in public schools

The Trump administration's threat to withhold federal funding from public schools unless they eliminate programs promoting diversity, equity and inclusion is deeply concerning. These programs aim to create more inclusive and equitable learning environments for all students, especially those from mar

STOP THE TARIFFS

STOP THE TARIFFS. Tariffs (and other measures) are creating deep economic uncertainty and destroying the value of stock markets around the world.

Stand against tariffs and abuse of power.

In his ignorance our president has imposed ludicrous tariffs on nations around the world. Everyone knows this is a poor choice for the US economy, for our standing in the world, for our international alliances, and for workers and businesses around the world. But these policies are not solely Trump’

REJECT Trump Tariff Disaster Plan - Bad for America!

Trump's tariff plan is extremely self destructive, badly designed, and horrible for the USA and the world at large. Why is this one person allowed to wreck everything that's taken centuries to build? Do trade deals and alliances mean nothing to the new America? These tariffs must be confronted NOW.

STOP TRUMP FROM CRASHING THE ECONOMY AND ISOLATING THE U.S.

I am outraged by President Trump’s reckless decision to impose sweeping tariffs—10% on all foreign goods, 34% on Chinese imports, 20% on the EU, 24% on Japan, and 25% on foreign cars. (wsj.com) This move is nothing short of economic sabotage. At the start of 2025, the U.S. economy was thriving. Inf
