Condemn FBI Raid on Fulton County Elections Office and Support Their Lawsuit Text SIGN PJKXHD to 50409 — I am writing to urge you to publicly condemn the recent FBI raid on Fulton County's elections hub and support the county's lawsuit demanding the return of seized election documents. This federal overreach represents a dangerous precedent that threatens the integrity of our democratic processes under the guise of election security. Federal agents seized hundreds of boxes containing materials related to the 2020 presidential election from Fulton County officials. Bodycam footage shows federal agents threatening county officials during this raid. This aggressive action against local election administrators sends a chilling message to election workers nationwide who are already facing unprecedented harassment and intimidation. Fulton County has now filed a lawsuit to recover these documents, a necessary legal action to protect their ability to conduct elections and maintain public records. The seizure of these materials disrupts the county's operations and undermines public confidence in election administration. When federal agents raid local election offices and confiscate records without transparency about their justification, it creates exactly the kind of chaos and suspicion that erodes faith in our electoral system. This raid appears to be election interference masquerading as an investigation. Local election officials are accountable to their communities and operate under state law with established oversight mechanisms. Federal intervention of this magnitude should require extraordinary justification and transparency, neither of which has been provided to the public or to Fulton County officials. I ask that you issue a public statement condemning this raid and expressing support for Fulton County's efforts to recover their election materials. Additionally, I urge you to demand answers from federal officials about the legal basis for this action and what safeguards exist to prevent similar raids from being used as political weapons against local election administrators. Our democracy depends on election officials being able to do their jobs without fear of federal intimidation. This raid sets a dangerous precedent that must be challenged.

Impeach President Trump for Unconstitutional Election Takeover Attempt Text SIGN PMQMLP to 50409 — I am writing to demand immediate impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump under Article II, Section 4 of the Constitution for his recent call to "nationalize the voting" in at least 15 locations across the country. This statement, made during an appearance on Dan Bongino's podcast on Monday, February 3, 2025, represents a direct assault on our constitutional system and an attempt to rig the 2026 midterm elections. The Constitution explicitly confers authority over elections to the states, not the federal government. Trump provided no legal mechanism for how nationalizing elections would be possible because none exists within our constitutional framework. This is not his first attempt to seize control over voting. Last year, he signed an executive order imposing sweeping restrictions on voting rights, including directing states to require proof of citizenship for voter registration and blocking states from accepting ballots after election day. A federal judge blocked that effort, ruling it was a "violation of the separation of powers." Trump's pattern of authoritarian behavior extends beyond rhetoric. The FBI recently seized hundreds of boxes of 2020 ballots from Fulton County, Georgia, with Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard present at the scene. Georgia's Democratic lawmakers, including Senator Raphael Warnock and Representatives Lucy McBath and Nikema Williams, have demanded answers about whether this represents legitimate investigation or political intimidation. Trump continues to make baseless claims about the 2020 election and undocumented immigrants voting illegally, despite no evidence supporting these assertions. This is not normal political disagreement. This is a sitting president openly advocating for federal takeover of state election systems while his administration conducts raids on election records from jurisdictions that did not support him. Article II, Section 4 provides for removal of the president for high crimes and misdemeanors. Attempting to subvert the constitutional authority of states over their own elections and threatening the integrity of the 2026 midterms meets this threshold. I urge you to initiate impeachment proceedings immediately, vote to impeach, and work to secure conviction and removal in the Senate. Our democracy cannot survive a president who openly seeks to dismantle its foundational structures.

DO NOT APPROVE ADDITIONAL DHS FUNDING! Don’t cave now! Text SIGN PLNVRB to 50409 — Please please, for the love of all that is good, DO NOT APPROVE A SINGLE ADDITIONAL CENT FOR ICE. You held firm today, but now I’m seeing reports that Democrats are about to agree to a continuing resolution?! Absolutely not! Are you kidding me? Why on earth would you do this when you know how unpopular this is? Have you no backbone at all? Was today’s hold out just more political theater? We want you to be strong! Americans would welcome another shut down if it means you actually took a stand against this administration’s lawlessness. If you vote to give ICE and DHS additional funding, I will actively campaign against you when it’s election time. You and any Democrat who backs you today. You are literally handing the Gestapo the keys to the country if you cave here. You are handing your constituents over to be hunted in the streets and allowing more families to be torn apart. You are spitting in the face of every person ICE has killed. Please do not approve a single additional cent in funding for ICE or DHS while this administration is still in office. Please.

Howard Lutnick Lied About His Epstein Ties, He Must Resign or Be Removed Text SIGN PGKBGU to 50409 — Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes were horrible enough on their own. But the reason they have shaken the world is that powerful elites participated in them, covered for them and ignored them, and years later still haven’t paid a price for it. As President Trump reportedly told a police chief in 2006, “everyone has known [Epstein]’s been doing this.” The fight for justice will not be done until members of the Epstein class suffer real-world consequences just like regular people in their position would. We owe it to their victims to settle for nothing less. This will be a challenge, but there are plenty of places we can start. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick brazenly lied to us all for years about his relationship with Epstein, maintaining close ties for well over a decade after he claimed he realized Epstein was a “disgusting person.” He has in fact confessed as much, now that he’s been caught. The President seems happy to shrug this revelation off and continue to let Lutnick work on trade and broadband policy as if everything is fine, which is sensible considering Trump is named countless times in the Epstein files himself. But Americans are not prepared to accept this as normal, and a Congress full of people who have professed shock and horror over the Epstein files shouldn’t either. He has, to put it mildly, lost the public trust. Several of our representatives have already called for the Secretary to be removed from his position. They shouldn’t be lone voices in the wilderness. Please choose the side of justice for those Epstein has harmed and demand Lutnick resign or be fired, now.

Pass the “Stop Presidential Embezzlement Act” now! Text SIGN PMFKHY to 50409 — Democratic Senators Schumer and Wyden have introduced legislation called the “Stop Presidential Embezzlement Act” that would prevent Trump from continuing to get rich off the presidency by suing the government. I expect the Senator to co-sponsor it. At a time when so many American families are struggling to get by, it’s a shameful abuse of office for Trump to pocket billions of taxpayer dollars by suing the IRS. The only reason he’s talking about donating this money is because even he realizes what he’s doing is indefensible with the public, and given that he’s a lifelong cheat and conman, there’s no reason to trust he’d follow through with the donation. Congress needs to shut this down. The Stop Presidential Embezzlement Act would impose a 100% tax on any settlement a president, vice president, cabinet member, or member of Congress receives from the government as a result of a lawsuit filed while in office. It’s only right. Please support and pass this bill. Thanks.

Abolish ICE, Prosecute and Re-Staff Text SIGN PPIZII to 50409 — Surely all Democrats realize their list of "demands" for ICE is already part of our laws and constitution? Please don't waste this budget negotiation opportunity. ICE and their leadership need to be abolished and held accountable. Then reformed and lead by those that will uphold our laws. We have time. We are not under siege by anybody but ICE. Trump spoke loudly with his racist video last night. We cannot keep people like him in ICE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER. PS Impeach Trump

Americans Are Paying The Price For Trump’s Anti-Canada Tariffs – End Them Now Text SIGN PKXRDZ to 50409 — When the Trump Administration hiked import taxes to the highest levels America has seen since the Great Depression, they made us a lot of promises about how we were being “liberated”, starting a new “golden age.” Anyone who’s been shopping recently can tell you exactly how badly those promises were broken. They told us prices wouldn’t go up. Trumpflation has cost us more than $1,000 per household so far. They told us manufacturing jobs would come back to this nation. We’ve seen more disappear every month. They told us other countries would pay. Instead we’ve taken on 96% of the Trump tariff burden. They told us those foreigners would beg us for deals. Now our closest allies are deliberately strengthening economic ties with China, so they don’t have to rely on doing business with us. The anti-Canada tariffs especially have cost us dearly. A year ago our Canadian friends were the #1 export market for 34 U.S. states. In nine months, our exports north fell by more than 20%. They are our top source of international tourism, and their travel here has dropped by nearly a quarter. The verdict is in, and the critics were right. This is an act of economic self-sabotage that’s made things we need every day harder to afford. Putting an end to it is the easiest way to address inflation imaginable. It is the responsibility of Congress to step in. No more of these ridiculous political games to block votes and pretend there’s nothing you can do. Start by voting yes on H.J. Res. 72 to terminate the anti-Canada tariffs. It’s time for you to take action to stop this economic wrecking ball from swinging into our country.

NO TO HJ RES 140. PRESERVE THE BOUNDARY WATERS UNPOLLUTED Text SIGN PMGWXC to 50409 — Save the Boundary Waters. Know that the Boundary Waters generate more income from tourism than they will from toxic sulphide mining. Yet a congressional plan to force a Chilean-owned copper mine into the headwaters of the nation’s most visited and beloved Wilderness area has been revealed through an Interior Department filing in the Congressional Record. The Trump administration and pro-mining allies are exploiting a procedural loophole to overturn protections on 225,000 acres of YOUR public lands surrounding the Boundary Waters. This cynical maneuver has already passed the U.S. House. The Senate is expected to vote early next week. Now we need you to stop it. This is unprecedented. It's the first time the Congressional Review Act has been used to challenge a Public Land Order—and if it succeeds, it would dismantle nearly two decades of hard-won safeguards for the Boundary Waters watershed. Why would anyone want to allow this precious and unspoiled legacy-- a legacy we hold in trust for the future -- to be MINED for SHORT TERM PROFIT and PERMANENT POLLUTION -- by a Chilean mining company????? What kind of corrupt kickbacks are driving this scheme? DO NOT ALLOW RAPE AND PILLAGE OF THIS PRECIOUS SPLENDID WILD AREA> VOTE NO ON HJ RES 140

The SAVE Act is Unconstitutional and Violates Your Oath of Office Text SIGN PMXUSS to 50409 — The SAVE Act is an unconstitutional attack on the fundamental right to vote. As a member of Congress, you took an oath to uphold the Constitution. Supporting this bill would violate that oath. This bill directly conflicts with multiple constitutional protections and federal laws: * 14th & 15th Amendments: The SAVE Act imposes undue burdens on voters, particularly people of color and women who have changed their names. These groups are more likely to lack access to required documents, creating discriminatory barriers to voting. * National Voter Registration Act (NVRA) & Supremacy Clause: The SAVE Act conflicts with federal law by undermining accessible registration methods guaranteed under the NVRA. * Elections Clause: The Supreme Court has ruled that voting laws cannot impose excessive burdens on voters without a compelling justification. This bill lacks such justification and instead creates unnecessary obstacles for eligible voters. * 24th Amendment: Requiring costly documents to register constitutes a financial barrier to voting, which is a form of a poll tax. While the 24th Amendment prohibits poll taxes in federal elections, this bill effectively imposes one by requiring voters to pay for citizenship documents or other forms of identification. In addition to its constitutional violations, the SAVE Act would create substantial administrative and financial burdens for election officials. The total cost of the SAVE Act could range from $500 million to $1 billion nationwide when factoring in administrative expenses, voter costs for obtaining documents, and systemic changes. Ongoing costs could add another $50-100 million annually. These costs are directly at odds with the administration’s stated goal of reducing government size and waste. Moreover, there is no widespread issue of non-citizen voting in the United States– as evidenced by myriad court cases. The SAVE Act is not about protecting election integrity; it is an unconstitutional attempt to suppress eligible voters under the guise of reform. You have a duty to reject legislation that violates the Constitution and undermines our democracy. The SAVE Act cannot be defended under the rule of law OR the administration's stated goals of fiscal responsibility and smaller government. It must not be allowed to stand.

Congress Must Act: The Attorney General Has Disqualified Herself Text SIGN PQRWHL to 50409 — Oversight is not theater. It is a constitutional duty. And when that duty reveals conduct incompatible with high office, Congress has an obligation to act. Attorney General Pam Bondi’s appearance before the House Judiciary Committee demonstrated that she is unwilling—or unable—to uphold the standards required of the nation’s chief law enforcement officer. Thirteen months into this administration, this was her first House oversight hearing. When members asked direct questions about the Department of Justice’s handling of the Epstein files, she responded with insults, deflections, and non-responsive answers. She told Congress that “Robert Mueller found no evidence, none, of foreign interference in 2016.” That statement directly contradicts the Special Counsel’s report, which concluded that Russia interfered in the 2016 election through coordinated social media and hacking operations. Multiple indictments and convictions resulted from that investigation. This is documented fact. When asked why additional Epstein co-conspirators have not been indicted, she replied: “The Dow is over 50,000.” Stock market statistics are not a lawful response to questions about sex trafficking accountability. Most troubling was her treatment of survivors. When asked to acknowledge Epstein victims present in the hearing room—individuals who indicated they had repeatedly requested meetings with DOJ and been denied—she refused to turn toward them. She declined to apologize for redaction failures that exposed victims’ personal information in millions of released documents. She suggested that victims should contact DOJ to correct errors that the Department had a legal obligation to prevent. The burden of protecting victims rests with the Department of Justice—not with the victims themselves. At multiple points during the hearing, the Attorney General pivoted from answering questions to praising President Donald Trump and defending him against criticism unrelated to the questions posed. The Attorney General is not the President’s personal counsel. The office requires independence from political loyalty, not performance of it. When the nation’s chief law enforcement officer appears to advocate for one individual rather than respond to Congress on behalf of the Department, the line between public duty and personal allegiance becomes dangerously blurred. At the same time, the Department has pursued unprecedented intrusions into state election administration, including demands for unredacted voter rolls and federal actions premised on debunked election claims. The Attorney General’s role is to defend the Constitution and the rule of law—not to serve as a partisan surrogate. When the Attorney General misstates established findings, evades lawful oversight, disregards victims, and erodes public confidence in institutional independence, Congress cannot treat the matter as routine political conflict. The Constitution provides a clear remedy when executive officers fail in their duty. Congress has both the authority and the responsibility to investigate whether the Attorney General has violated her oath of office. If the evidence confirms a pattern of misconduct, Congress should proceed with appropriate constitutional measures, including articles of impeachment. Failure to respond would signal that truthfulness under oath, respect for victims, and fidelity to the rule of law are optional for the nation’s chief law enforcement officer. They are not. The Department of Justice must remain larger than any individual. It is Congress’s duty to ensure that it does.

Congress Must Stop ICE From Scanning Faces In Public Text SIGN PAXYYZ to 50409 — CONGRESS MUST HALT ICE’S USE OF FACIAL SCREENING APPS UNTIL BINDING PRIVACY LAWS ARE ENACTED As your constituent, I urge Congress to immediately pause ICE’s use of the Mobile Fortify and Mobile Identify facial-scanning apps until clear statutory limits, transparency requirements, and enforceable privacy protections are in place. Credible reporting shows DHS and ICE agents using these tools during street-level encounters, including incidents involving U.S. citizens, with no meaningful notice or opt-out. This practice risks violating Fourth Amendment privacy rights and chilling lawful First Amendment activity. CONGRESS CANNOT ALLOW BIOMETRIC IDENTIFICATION IN PUBLIC WITHOUT NOTICE, CONSENT, OR OVERSIGHT DHS has acknowledged that these apps allow agents to scan faces and compare them against “trusted source photos” drawn from government systems for identity verification. When agents can point a phone at a person’s face during a stop, sidewalks effectively become biometric ID checkpoints. Without explicit statutory guardrails, this creates a system of identification without consent, transparency, or judicial authorization, particularly threatening for people who protest, observe, or document enforcement actions. CONGRESS MUST ADDRESS ERROR, BIAS, AND WRONGFUL STOPS CAUSED BY FACIAL RECOGNITION Multiple Senators, including Ron Wyden, Jeff Merkley, Edward Markey, Elizabeth Warren, and Bernie Sanders, have warned that on-demand biometric surveillance poses serious risks to privacy and free speech and that facial-recognition systems are prone to error and bias, especially for communities of color. In real-world encounters, even small error rates can lead to wrongful stops, coercive questioning, or detention, with limited avenues for correction once an agent treats a biometric match as authoritative. CONGRESS ALREADY HAS LEGISLATION AND MUST MOVE IT WITHOUT DELAY Congress does not need to start from scratch. Representative Bennie Thompson has introduced H.R. 7124, the Realigning Mobile Phone Biometrics for American Privacy Protection Act. This bill would prohibit DHS from using mobile facial-recognition tools outside ports of entry and would require enforceable standards to protect privacy, civil rights, and civil liberties. Failure to advance this legislation leaves Americans exposed to unchecked biometric surveillance. CONGRESS MUST TAKE OVERSIGHT AND LEGISLATIVE STEPS TO PROTECT PRIVACY RIGHTS (1) COSPONSOR AND ADVANCE H.R. 7124, and press House and Senate leadership to schedule hearings and markup. (2) CONDUCT OVERSIGHT HEARINGS requiring DHS and ICE to disclose where Mobile Fortify and Mobile Identify are deployed, what databases and image sources are used, how long biometric data is retained, how accuracy and bias are tested, and what remedies exist for misidentification. (3) ENACT CLEAR STATUTORY SAFEGUARDS, including warrant requirements for domestic biometric scanning, strict data-retention limits, independent audits, public reporting, and penalties for misuse. Thank you.

The Senate must vote NO on the SAVE Act to protect Americans’ right to vote Text SIGN PNORWS to 50409 — The Senate must reject the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act to prevent it from becoming law. It is already illegal for noncitizens to register and vote in federal or state elections. The bill’s requirement of a document to prove American citizenship to register to vote in federal elections is unnecessary and seeks to divide us. It also creates another barrier to voting. Many communities of eligible voters would be unnecessarily burdened by the requirements of the SAVE Act. Among them are military voters who would be required to present documentation every time they re-register to vote when their family moves. Families who have been impacted by natural disasters may have lost necessary documentation and would be required to jump through hoops to replace these documents to register to vote while also going through the traumatic process of rebuilding their lives. Additionally, Americans who have changed their name, like married women, would also be required to secure updated documentation to register to vote.   Please vote No on the save act and tell your colleagues to do the same. This does not serve the American people!

Demand Full Investigation of All U.S. Officials Named in Epstein Files Text SIGN PKRRRY to 50409 — **Demand Full Investigation of All U.S. Officials Named in Epstein Files** The Justice Department released over three million pages of materials related to Jeffrey Epstein last Friday, revealing extensive connections between the convicted sex offender and numerous American officials and business leaders. I am writing to demand that every individual named in these files be subject to thorough investigation to determine whether they participated in or enabled sex trafficking and human trafficking crimes. The contrast between European and American responses to these revelations is deeply troubling. In the United Kingdom, former ambassador Peter Mandelson was fired and resigned from the House of Lords on Tuesday, with police reviewing his conduct. Prince Andrew was stripped of his royal titles and residence. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer publicly apologized Thursday to Epstein's victims, stating he was sorry for what was done to them and sorry that so many people with power failed them. Norway has suspended a prominent diplomat and opened a police investigation into a former prime minister. Meanwhile, the United States has demonstrated minimal accountability. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick remains in his Cabinet post despite emails suggesting a closer relationship with Epstein than previously stated, including a trip to Epstein's Caribbean island. Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon has stood by general counsel Kathryn Ruemmler despite her associations with Epstein including gifts of a $9,400 Hermes bag and spa treatment. Dr. Peter Attia, a CBS News contributor, remains on the job despite appearing in numerous emails with Epstein. The victims of Jeffrey Epstein's crimes deserve justice, and that requires investigating everyone who may have enabled his trafficking operation. Appearing in these files raises serious questions that demand answers through formal investigation. I urge you to call for comprehensive investigations into all American officials, business leaders, and public figures named in the Epstein materials, regardless of their political affiliation or current position. Our standards for accountability should match or exceed those of our European allies.

Congress Must Reclaim Control Of ICE’s $70–75 Billion Advance Funding Text SIGN PKXKKN to 50409 — CONGRESS MUST RESCIND ICE’S ADVANCE APPROPRIATIONS IN H.R. 1 As your constituent, I urge Congress to rescind as much of ICE’s advance funding in H.R. 1 (often referred to as the “Big Beautiful Bill”) as is legally possible before it is obligated through long-term contracts and grants. Much of this funding remains unobligated, giving Congress a narrow but real opportunity to act before commitments become legally binding. ICE RECEIVED AN ESTIMATED $70–75 BILLION IN MULTI-YEAR FUNDING THROUGH FY2029 Independent analyses estimate that H.R. 1 provides ICE with roughly $70–75 billion in funding “to remain available until September 30, 2029,” spread across multiple years and provisions. In plain terms, this money is intended to permanently expand immigration enforcement capacity, including: (1) Approximately $14.4 billion for deportation transportation, including chartered removal flights, long-distance transfers between detention facilities, and transport from local jails into ICE custody. This funding enables a large, multi-year deportation logistics system once contracts are signed. (2) Approximately $7 billion for hiring, staffing, and overtime, allowing ICE to expand its enforcement workforce and sustain higher operational tempo beyond a single fiscal year. (3) Approximately $40–45 billion for detention facilities and bed capacity, including construction, expansion, and long-term contracts with private detention operators, allowing ICE to hold far more people for longer periods. (4) Approximately $2–3 billion for vehicles, aircraft, and other equipment, increasing ICE’s physical footprint and reach through fleet expansion and modernization. (5) Approximately $3–4 billion for enforcement technology and databases, including surveillance tools and case-management systems that determine who is identified, tracked, detained, and targeted for removal. (6) Approximately $650 million for 287(g) agreements, which deputize state and local law enforcement to perform federal immigration enforcement functions. (7) Approximately $1.3 billion for immigration prosecutors, expanding the Office of the Principal Legal Advisor so more removal cases can be processed and completed more quickly. (8) Approximately $2–3 billion for state and local participation, reimbursing jurisdictions for detention and enforcement activities tied to ICE operations. Once these contracts, facilities, staffing increases, and systems are in place, they are rarely scaled back, effectively locking in years of expanded enforcement capacity WITHOUT ANNUAL CONGRESSIONAL REVIEW. THE SCALE OF THIS COMMITMENT WARRANTS CAUTION AND OVERSIGHT Taken together, this represents one of the largest multi-year domestic law-enforcement funding commitments Congress has approved in recent memory. While immigration enforcement is a legitimate Federal responsibility, commitments of this size and duration typically warrant annual review and adjustment rather than being locked in years in advance. There are also significant tradeoffs. Funds committed in advance to detention and deportation are funds unavailable for other pressing national needs, including disaster response and FEMA readiness, public health preparedness, infrastructure resilience, education, and economic stability. CONGRESS MUST ACT BEFORE THESE FUNDS ARE FULLY OBLIGATED Once ICE obligates these funds through contracts and grants, rescission becomes far more difficult and costly. Even partial or phased rescission of unobligated balances would preserve Congressional authority and allow future funding levels to be reconsidered through the regular appropriations process. CONGRESS SHOULD: (1) Rescind unobligated ICE funds provided in H.R. 1 for FY2025–FY2029, in whole or in part. (2) Prohibit ICE from obligating remaining balances for new detention capacity, removal contracts, or 287(g) agreements without renewed annual approval. (3) Require detailed public reporting and independent GAO review of any remaining obligations. Thank you.

UNREDACTED victim names, info and NAKED PICS. Does this cross a line yet? Text SIGN PGELJT to 50409 — The release of the Epstein files containing unredacted names, birthdays, personal information, and nude images of victims is an absolute disgrace. Let’s be blunt: releasing naked images of victims—some of them minors—is re-distribution of sexual abuse. At best, it is a catastrophic violation of victims’ rights. At worst, it is child sexual abuse material. Someone approved this. Someone signed off. And someone should be held criminally accountable. What makes this even more obscene is the selective redaction. Victims were fully exposed, while powerful men—including Donald Trump—were protected, even in images that have already circulated publicly without redactions for years. So what was the priority here? Because it clearly wasn’t justice.It wasn’t transparency.And it sure as hell wasn’t protecting victims. This looks like a deliberate choice to punish survivors, re-circulate exploitative material, and shield perpetrators. If that wasn’t the intent, then the outcome still says everything about whose interests matter—and whose never have. I want to know:Who approved this release?Why were victims exposed while perpetrators were protected?And what will be done to hold those responsible accountable? Anything less than consequences confirms what too many survivors already believe: that this system exists to protect the powerful and sacrifice the abused. There are 268 days until the 2026 midterms.

DHS Funding Bill Text SIGN PFXXEF to 50409 — As your constituent, I ask you to support meaningful reforms to Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations as Congress works to pass the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) funding bill. Require judicial warrants for entries onto private property instead of warrantless home raids. Ban ICE agents from wearing masks or other concealment that prevent accountability. Require clear and verbal identification of agents before enforcement actions. Protect sensitive locations such as schools, churches, and hospitals from enforcement operations. Remaining at least 500 feet away from these locations seems doable. Prohibit racial profiling and strengthen use-of-force standards. Establish mandatory body cameras with strict limits on surveillance use. Create independent oversight and uniform detention standards. These reforms are proposed in response to public outcry over recent fatal shootings involving federal agents and concern about aggressive immigration enforcement nationwide. They aim to ensure accountability, protect civil liberties, and restore confidence in federal enforcement agencies. If you will not support an all-out ban on this agency, then I urge you to support legislation that enshrines these reforms into law and to oppose any funding measure that does not include them. Meaningful accountability and respect for Constitutional rights must be part of our federal immigration enforcement framework.

INFRASTUCTURE EXTORTION BY POTUS Text SIGN PIOEFN to 50409 — I just read that President Trump has stopped the funding of the Gateway Tunnel. His demands for this project is that they must add his name to the tunnel and to Penn Station. This is utter nonsense. We cannot have a President that holds important infrastructure projects hostage for his own vanity. The reason I write for a project on the other side of the country is because I am worried that he will want to do the same to projects here in my state. I do not want his name on anything here in my state. I do not want his name on Penn Station or the Gateway Tunnel. Please vote against this terrible idea, please do what you can to tell our government HANDS OFF. I cannot standby while I hear of this extortion by our President. Thank you for representing me and taking this into consideration. I know you feel the same about this type of blackmail being done by our president and preventing it from happening here in our great state.

Congress Must Stop DHS and Social Media Companies from Unmasking ICE Critics Text SIGN PLJJOK to 50409 — I write to express serious concern about recent reporting that the Department of Homeland Security has issued hundreds of administrative subpoenas to social media companies seeking identifying information behind anonymous accounts that criticize or track Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). According to reporting in The New York Times, DHS has requested names, email addresses, and other identifying data associated with accounts that post about ICE activity or criticize the agency. Some companies have complied with certain requests. In several documented cases, subpoenas were withdrawn only after individuals, represented by civil liberties attorneys, challenged them in court. Administrative subpoenas are issued by executive agencies without prior judicial approval. That authority was granted by Congress and is funded by Congress. It was historically used sparingly in investigations of serious criminal conduct. Its expanded use to unmask anonymous speakers engaged in political expression raises significant constitutional concerns. Anonymous political speech occupies a protected place in American constitutional tradition. If the executive branch may compel disclosure of identifying information about critics without prior judicial oversight, the burden shifts to private citizens to hire counsel and initiate litigation merely to preserve their First Amendment rights. That structural imbalance creates a chilling effect regardless of whether a subpoena is ultimately withdrawn. The issue here is not immigration policy. It is not whether one supports or opposes ICE enforcement. It is whether executive subpoena authority may be used to identify individuals engaged in lawful political speech without neutral judicial review — and whether private corporations will comply without demanding that review. Congress has both the authority and the responsibility to address this. I respectfully urge you to: • Conduct oversight hearings examining DHS’s use of administrative subpoenas in cases involving political expression. • Require public reporting on the number and scope of such subpoenas. • Clarify by statute that administrative subpoena authority may not be used to compel disclosure of identifying information based solely on constitutionally protected speech without prior judicial approval. • Condition appropriated funds on compliance with clear First Amendment safeguards. Separation of powers is not self-executing. When executive agencies expand their use of investigatory tools in ways that implicate core constitutional protections, congressional oversight is essential. Americans must remain free to criticize their government without fear that their identities will be unmasked through unilateral executive process. I urge you to act promptly to ensure that administrative subpoena authority is not used in ways that erode fundamental constitutional protections.

Curb executive powers Text SIGN PAMSWD to 50409 — We need a new amendment. I propose the “Limitation of Executive Powers” amendment be brought forth to curb the blatant executive overreach committed by both political parties. We need Congress to start governing again: otherwise this accelerating movement towards autocracy will continue.

Protect free speech online by protecting Section 230. Text SIGN PKKHCP to 50409 — I urge you to vote no on any bills with the goal of sunsetting Section 230. This law is vital to maintaining our 1st Amendment Rights in an age of instant connectivity. It gives liability immunity to providers and users of online sites who allow 3rd parties to post on their site or accounts. Note, this does not include criminal behavior of any kind as that would be handled by entirely different measures altogether. We are talking free speech ONLY here. Section 230, for example, merely protects site owners from things like defamation lawsuits due to something a user posted on their site. Sunsetting this legislation will lead to an absolute erosion of our 1st Amendment Rights and will *increase* the levels of extremism in this country. Small websites will no longer be willing to allow people to post. The legal risk will be far too great if they can be held liable as "promoting" any and every little thing a user can possibly post. Big tech media sites, however, would continue to allow posting with extreme and draconian censorship that would sway at the drop of a political hat. Conspiracy theories would run rampant in real space due to this, dramatically worse than they do online and with no outlets. People would feel even more deeply unheard and angry. And unheard, angry people are quick to grab your attention in any way they can. Like with extremism and violence for example. The very issues we are trying to solve. Not only would this deeply impact our Rights and increase extremism, it would inevitably create an environment where only one narrative would be visible on the internet. Easily controlled by the top of the ladder, that narrative will lack consistency and will always forward whatever agenda is momentarily at hand. All discussion deemed off narrative will be squashed and litigated. A terrifying dystopia. Quite literally like something out of this country's high school required reading books. Except it won't be fiction, but a hard reality. The data backs up this potential reality. That's why this legislation has continued to exist despite corporate backed bipartisan attempts to dismantle it for over a decade. It is *that* fundamental to our freedom of speech now. The billionaire class wants to exploit this weak time for our society to yet again enable their own capitalization and to protect themselves from public dissent. The current administration's strategy of distracting from criminal distractions to distract from criminal behavior has created chaos. A chaos the billionaire class is using to try silence us while they think we are too overwhelmed to notice. They are wrong. We will not go further into their dystopia silently. Please vote no on any proposed legislation that would harm section 230 and, by direct extension, our 1st Amendment protections.

Presidents’ Day Is About Constitutional Limits, Not Personal Power Text SIGN PHPFLD to 50409 — On Presidents’ Day, we do not celebrate unchecked authority. We celebrate constitutional restraint. George Washington set the most important precedent in American history when he voluntarily stepped down after two terms. He could have remained in power. Instead, he chose the republic over personal rule. That act established a norm later codified in the Twenty-Second Amendment, which limits presidents to two elected terms. The American presidency was designed with guardrails — separation of powers, checks and balances, term limits, and the peaceful transfer of power. These are not partisan ideas. They are structural protections against concentrated authority. The peaceful transfer of power, in particular, is one of the defining features of our constitutional system. After the 2020 election, courts reviewed challenges, states certified their results, and Congress fulfilled its constitutional duty to certify the Electoral College. That process — regardless of political preference — reflected the rule of law in action. Undermining public confidence in certified elections weakens the foundation of the republic. Presidents’ Day should remind us that loyalty to the Constitution must always exceed loyalty to any individual officeholder. No president is above constitutional limits. No branch may abdicate its responsibility to enforce them. Congress plays a central role in preserving those limits. Through oversight, legislation, and its constitutional powers, you are entrusted with defending the separation of powers and ensuring that executive authority remains bounded by law. This holiday is an opportunity to reaffirm a simple principle: America rejects elective monarchy. Power is temporary. The Constitution endures. I urge you, on this Presidents’ Day, to publicly recommit to defending constitutional guardrails — including respect for certified elections, adherence to presidential term limits, and the preservation of checks and balances that prevent any one person from accumulating unchecked power. That is the legacy we honor today.

I think Trump Derangement Syndrome should refer to the miscreants who bend the knee to a corrupt racist pedophile, not those of us who are upset a corrupt racist pedophile wants to rule us like a king.
