I like what you’re doing with explaining your vote and why.

Good job!

I introduced the SUN Act because if Donald Trump wants to spend billions in federal dollars to override the judgment of local police, then the American people should know more about the impact, cost, and rationale of those decisions.

DOJ goes 0-3 in requests to unseal Jeffrey Epstein grand jury materials Two other federal judges already denied DOJ’s requests to publicly release the material.

A federal judge rejected the DOJ's effort to unseal grand jury transcripts and exhibits in the Epstein case.

He wrote that the government itself is the β€œlogical party” to make the Epstein files public and criticized its motion as a β€œdiversion” tactic.

Let's be clear. Any YES vote on HR 1 right now is an uninformed partisan vote on a bill *no one* actually likes, with unknown terms and effects, for the simple purpose of giving an authoritarian leader a symbolic bill signing on July 4th.

Republicans are trying to rip health care away from babies, disabled children, and seniors.

It’s not efficient. It’s just plain cruel.

We need your voice in this fight. Please call 202-224-3121 and tell your representative to vote NO on cuts to Medicaid.

Does Kristi Noem even know what habeas corpus is? The Homeland Security secretary's word salad raised even more questions about the administration's assault on fundamental rights.

β€œHabeas corpus is the legal principle that requires the government to provide a public reason for detaining and imprisoning people. If not for that protection, the government could simply arrest people, including American citizens, and hold them indefinitely for no reason.”

Holy smoke!

The world will find out soon. I am betting that it’s the Italian, but I’m hoping for one from a far less developed country.

I’m not catholic, just interested in good leadership.

Call YOUR Senators TODAY then amplify on social here!

URGENT!
The SAVE Act would prevent millions of eligible voters from voting, especially women. It passed the House and goes to the Senate. We MUST stop it there!

Call your Senators today 202-224-3121 and tell them VOTE NO then click below.

The EPA is firing employees focused on children’s health simply because their job descriptions include DEI. These 10 regional children’s health coordinators have worked closely with schools and local institutions to prevent and address environmental hazards that put kids at risk.
