Text SIGN PSLAFH to 50409 — I am writing to demand immediate action to stop the unconstitutional ICE operations currently targeting American citizens and residents across the country. Recent incidents demonstrate a complete disregard for the Fourth Amendment protections that apply to everyone within our borders. ICE agents have kicked down doors of every apartment in a Chicago building, detaining everyone inside without proper warrants. In Minneapolis last Thursday, ICE arrested two United States citizens working at Target, both wearing employee vests for cart collection. When one employee attempted to produce his passport proving citizenship, ICE refused to look at it. Vice President Vance has publicly stated that ICE will be "going door to door" in immigrant roundups, a clear violation of Fourth Amendment protections against unreasonable searches and seizures of persons, houses, papers, and effects. The violence has escalated beyond property violations. Renee Good exercised her First Amendment right to protest ICE operations in her neighborhood and lost her life. Citizens demonstrating against these operations are being told they must "submit" or "comply" with ICE orders or risk being beaten, arrested, or killed. According to statements from administration officials, ICE agents are authorized to shoot to kill if they feel threatened by something as minor as a car moving less than two miles per hour. If ICE can storm homes and businesses based solely on suspicion, detaining people based on skin color or accented speech, then no citizen's home is safe. This represents a breakdown from rule of law to rule by executive whim. When the government can ignore constitutional protections for one group, those protections cease to exist for anyone. Congress has the constitutional authority and responsibility to provide oversight and defund unconstitutional enforcement actions. I urge you to take immediate legislative action to halt these operations, investigate these violations, and hold those responsible accountable. Our constitutional republic depends on it.

Text SIGN PFAJNI to 50409 — I applaud the Colorado legislature for coming up with AI regulations that protect Coloradans from corporate greed, fraud, deception, and fakes. I know there is fear that going against Trump's executive order, in which he seeks to give the tech billionaires unfettered use of AI against the people of the United States, concerns everybody as he threatens to cut off even more funding to Colorado. Let me just say that there is no end to appeasing a dictator. You either go in 100% all the way everyday forever. Or you oppose him at every step of the way and legislate and govern in spite of and against him and deal with the consequences. Cutting off funds to Colorado is illegal and we all know it. That doesn't stop him. This will continue to escalate. And unless Colorado plans on total capitulation, you may gain his approval on this issue, but you will lose it on the next unless you continue to capitulate. He already has it in for Colorado because of its appropriate prosecution of Tina Peters. Get your heads out of the sand. You cannot partially appease Trump. It's all or nothing. I pray that you have the sense and decency to make it nothing.

Text SIGN PIGOSO to 50409 — Last night Trump posted a portrait of himself with the title: “Acting President of Venezuela.” Next. Greenland. Or maybe Cuba. Or Columbia. Or Mexico. The possibilities are endless since the only thing he says can stop him is him. He appears to be correct so far. But one thing that could stop him. Release the Epstein files. The entire apparatus of the US government is being used to keep them under wraps. Laws passed by Congress are being ignored with no consequences. So he might be on to something. No one or nothing can, or will, stop him. But wouldn’t it be nice to give the world a really good reason to? Make certain the Epstein files are released. Otherwise Mr. Trump is going to continue his worldwide tour of chaos to try and distract us, and himself, from whatever he’s trying to keep hidden. And maybe what’s hidden could relieve the world of him once and for all. In the meantime he’ll keep turning his ire and grievance on us, the American people. And anyone else he perceives as disloyal. The mad king is getting madder by the day. Release the Epstein files. This has gone on for far too long. Making American Great Again is literally killing us.

Text SIGN PILEXN to 50409 — The Supreme Court will soon hear two cases challenging state bans on transgender athletes in Idaho and West Virginia. These cases reveal how discriminatory legislation harms young people who simply want to participate in school sports with their peers. The West Virginia case centers on Becky Pepper-Jackson, a 15-year-old trans girl who was the only transgender athlete in the entire state when H.B. 3293 was enacted in 2021. Despite claims that the law was necessary to save women's sports from an influx of male athletes threatening championships, the reality is starkly different. The law banned exactly one sixth-grade girl from participating on her school's cross-country and track-and-field teams with her friends. This represents targeted discrimination against a single child, not a measured policy response to a genuine problem. The Idaho case challenging H.B. 500 raises additional concerns about invasive enforcement mechanisms. The law allows anyone, including opposing teams or bystanders, to dispute a girl's sex. When disputes occur, the law requires verification through examination of reproductive anatomy, genetic makeup, or testosterone levels. This means all female athletes, whether transgender or cisgender, could be subjected to invasive tests including pelvic examinations that go far beyond routine sports physicals. This creates an environment where any girl athlete faces potential privacy violations simply for participating in sports. Becky Pepper-Jackson told CNN: "I know that I can handle it and it's never crossed my mind to stop, because I know I'm doing it for everybody." Her courage highlights what is at stake for trans youth nationwide. I urge you to publicly support the rights of transgender youth to participate in school sports consistent with their gender identity. These young people deserve the same opportunities for friendship, teamwork, and personal growth that sports provide to all students.

Text SIGN PGTSSI to 50409 — I am writing to urge you to take immediate action on two critical threats to democratic accountability: unidentified ICE agents operating with masked faces and the Justice Department's unprecedented attack on Federal Reserve independence. The shooting death of Renee Good by ICE agent Jonathan Ross in Minneapolis demonstrates why accountability matters. Despite video evidence contradicting official accounts, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem continues to claim Good "attacked" agents and "attempted to run them over," calling it "domestic terrorism." When authority operates anonymously, accountability becomes optional and power operates without consequences. I urge you to refuse funding for DHS unless provisions are added requiring ICE agents to obtain warrants, banning masks and face coverings, and mandating visible identification at all times during operations. Additionally, the Justice Department has served the Federal Reserve with subpoenas and threatened criminal indictment over alleged building renovation cost overruns. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell stated directly that these threats are consequences of the Fed setting interest rates based on public interest rather than presidential preferences. This represents an existential threat to the independence of our central banking system. I ask you to work across party lines to preserve Federal Reserve independence and to refuse government funding until these attacks cease. Democratic institutions require courage to defend. I need to know you will stand for accountability and the rule of law.

Text SIGN PWBJHX to 50409 — On January 10, the Justice Department served Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell with grand jury subpoenas threatening criminal indictment over his Senate testimony about building renovations. Powell’s response was blunt: “The threat of criminal charges is a consequence of the Federal Reserve setting interest rates based on our best assessment of what will serve the public, rather than following the preferences of the President.” Trump has spent months attacking Powell for not lowering rates faster, tried to remove Fed Governor Lisa Cook over what her attorneys call “unsubstantiated allegations,” and told the New York Times he’s already picked Powell’s replacement. Now he’s using the Justice Department to threaten criminal prosecution. Republican Senator Thom Tillis called it an attack on Fed independence and vowed to oppose all Fed nominees until it’s resolved. Democrat Elizabeth Warren called it a “corrupt takeover.” The independence of the Federal Reserve isn’t a partisan issue. It’s what prevents presidents from manipulating interest rates for political gain and crashing the economy. This is a pattern. Trump uses the Justice Department as his personal enforcement arm against anyone who disagrees with him. In October, he publicly demanded Attorney General Bondi prosecute James Comey, Adam Schiff, and Letitia James. She did. A federal judge threw out those indictments in November, ruling the prosecutor was unlawfully appointed. Now it’s Powell. Tomorrow it could be any agency head, any official, any American who doesn’t fall in line. Congress has a constitutional duty to check presidential abuse of power. Hold immediate oversight hearings on DOJ’s investigation of Powell. Subpoena Attorney General Bondi to testify under oath about White House interference in prosecutorial decisions. Pass legislation protecting Fed independence from political retaliation. This isn’t about defending Powell or any individual. This is about whether we’re a nation of laws or a nation where the president weaponizes federal law enforcement against critics.

Text SIGN PDXIJT to 50409 — NO to last week’s agenda items. 1- Venezuela? - Oil money going to offshore accounts? - Under DJT’s control? - Corporate takeover of their resources? - Using drugs as a reason to detain the president and his wife, while using cronyism to let the Honduran president go? This is both illegal and un-American. It is clearly about money and control, not under the guise of democracy and freedom for the people there. 2- ICE agents are not trained or authorized in Law Enforcement. They are becoming quasi-LE agents without accountability. And anyone with camo and a gun and a mask could kidnap someone for their own awful purposes. - Remove their masks - display their badges - dress them in uniforms - have them trained by LE - mandate ethics training. Otherwise, they are just stormtroopers in camo. 3- Greenland? I don't even need to fill you in on this breach of NATO alliances. This, of course, is about mineral resources for our tech titans. Russia wants these too, so I can't figure out if POTUS is aligning with Putin, or going to go splitsy with him. 4- Iran? Since when do we care about liberating the people of Iran (after Carter). Do we want to start WW3? Where are the adults in the room? Stop this talk now. 5- The Fed. Powell. Oh puhleeze, now we are going to loyalty-bully the one stable adult holding our economy together? Think about this. In the big picture sense, if this administration crashes the self-supporting contributors to our economic infrastructure, are we going to implement feudalism? It certainly won't be socialism? This is not only a wild ride, but it is also being done purposefully to benefit unrestricted power, control, and wealth for the dealers of this destruction. I thank Sen Tillis for seeing the plot. And Rep Ross. I ask Sen Budd to look carefully at where “policy” is a personal agenda for this administration. Behold the Constitution. That is the law of the land.

Text SIGN PMEPBP to 50409 — Thank you for your recent requests for ICE to stop flying deportation flights out of Hanscom. I appreciate this stance. At the same time, I am troubled by both: 1. Your support for cooperation between the Massachusetts dept of prisons and ICE 2. Yet-to-be seen plans or concrete clarity around what will happen here is ICE attempts the level of patrolling and door-to-door raids currently seen in Minneapolis. How will you keep Massachusetts residents safe from such forced abductions? They’re already happening in our state and need to stop - along with not escalating. Images from ICE protesters in Burlington indicate that nearly 2 dozen new SUVs have been delivered to that ICE facility. What will you and the other members of our state government do to try to protect us from further violence, intimidation, and kidnapping?

Text SIGN PTATEU to 50409 — I am writing as your constituent to demand a clear, public commitment that you will oppose any attempt—serious or purportedly “joking”—to cancel, delay, suspend, or interfere with the United States midterm elections. Former President Donald Trump has publicly suggested canceling or disregarding elections. When such statements come from a former president, they are not jokes. They undermine constitutional order, normalize authoritarian conduct, and invite real efforts to subvert democratic governance. The law is explicit and leaves no ambiguity. Article I, Section 4 of the U.S. Constitution gives Congress, not the president, authority over the “Times, Places and Manner” of federal elections. Congress has exercised that authority by statute. 2 U.S.C. § 7 requires congressional elections to occur on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November of even-numbered years. 3 U.S.C. § 1 likewise fixes the date of presidential elections. There is no legal mechanism allowing a president—current or former—to cancel or delay federal elections. Any suggestion to the contrary is false, unconstitutional, and dangerous. As an elected official sworn to uphold the Constitution, you have an obligation to state publicly and unequivocally that: • Midterm elections must proceed as scheduled under federal law (U.S. Const. art. I, § 4; 2 U.S.C. § 7) • Any attempt to cancel or delay them would be unconstitutional and unlawful • You will oppose and resist such actions, regardless of party or political pressure I am requesting a public statement affirming these principles. Silence or ambiguity in the face of these claims is unacceptable. Constituents deserve to know whether their representatives will defend the rule of law when it is openly challenged. Please provide your response and indicate when your public commitment will be made.

Text SIGN PTIOSK to 50409 — Public education is one of the most important long-term investments the United States has ever made. A well-educated population strengthens economic growth, supports innovation, reduces long-term public costs, and sustains democratic participation. More than 80 percent of American children attend public schools, making their stability a matter of national interest. That system is now facing a sustained federal retreat. Investigative reporting by ProPublica documents that Education Secretary Linda McMahon has described public schools as “failing” and called for a “hard reset” of American education. Yet the policies being implemented under her leadership reflect not reinvestment, but a systematic reduction of federal oversight paired with efforts to redirect public resources away from public schools. Multiple outlets, including Education Week and The Washington Post, report that the Department of Education is substantially downsizing its role in K–12 education. In a major restructuring, responsibility for administering many federal K–12 programs—representing roughly $20 billion annually—is being shifted out of the Department. This fragmentation weakens federal oversight and reduces the ability to enforce consistent national standards. At the same time, the Department has begun granting waivers that allow states greater discretion over how federal education funds are used. While described as “flexibility,” these waivers reduce federal guardrails tied to equity and accountability. Reporting on Iowa’s recently approved waiver indicates that additional states may follow, accelerating the erosion of nationwide protections for vulnerable students. Equally concerning is the weakening of the Department’s Office for Civil Rights, which since 1979 has enforced federal anti-discrimination laws protecting students with disabilities, students of color, and those facing sex discrimination. ProPublica and Education Week report that staffing reductions and narrowed priorities have slowed investigations and limited families’ ability to seek federal intervention when schools fail to meet their legal obligations. These changes are occurring as many public school districts face enrollment declines that directly affect funding and staffing. Reducing federal support and oversight at this moment compounds existing pressures on the system that educates the vast majority of American children. ProPublica also reports that senior advisers now shaping education policy come from advocacy organizations that have long opposed public education as a system and favor minimizing or eliminating the federal role altogether. Their objectives closely align with proposals outlined in Project 2025, which explicitly calls for dismantling the Department of Education and rolling back federal civil-rights enforcement. Some officials have also promoted curricula that blur the constitutional separation of church and state. If public funds are used to advance religious instruction, constitutional principles require equal treatment of all faiths—an unworkable and divisive outcome. Public schools exist to serve a pluralistic society and prepare students for civic participation, not to privilege one belief system. Public education benefits everyone, including those without children in school. Weakening it undermines economic competitiveness, civic stability, and equal opportunity nationwide. Congress has both the authority and responsibility to act. I urge you to hold oversight hearings, investigate the redirection of federal education funds, restore civil-rights enforcement capacity, and reaffirm constitutional protections. Public education is a public good. Congress must act now to protect it.

Text SIGN PQTOHR to 50409 — The political prosecution of the Federal Reserve Chair has to be where Congress draws the line. Jerome Powell is right. This case is a pretext to blackmail him into serving Trump’s every desire. It’s the stuff of tinpot dictatorships, not a rich and stable democracy. And it’s going to create a financial crisis that will screw up my family’s future. It should go without saying that disagreeing with a president on policy matters is not a crime in a democracy, and if a public official doing so risks investigation and imprisonment we have made the president’s every whim law. This is a giant step towards making this country a functional dictatorship. For those who don’t give a damn about freedom or the rule of law, undermining the independence of the Federal Reserve Board could also crater our economy in both the short and long term. The markets openly panicked when Trump was just threatening to fire Powell, and their reaction to the Fed being under the White House’s thumb for good is likely to be far worse. As your constituent, I am calling on you to publicly demand the probe into Powell be dropped and insist on an investigation of how this case was handled by the Justice Department’s inspector general and Congress itself. The Attorney General, the U.S. Attorney for D.C. and anyone else working on this must testify publicly and under oath on the President’s involvement. Further, you must use every available lever to protect our economy and stop this weaponization of our justice system against anyone who disagrees with the White House. This should include refusing to support any new nominees to the Federal Reserve until this matter is resolved, along with utilizing the power of the appropriations process and impeachment. Our public officials should be able to follow the evidence and their judgment where they lead without fearing it will put them in prison. Inaction in the face of this challenge is unacceptable.

Text SIGN PTZEEN to 50409 — I am writing to urge you to take immediate action against the administration's proposed restructuring of the Department of Justice that would place an assistant Attorney General under direct control of the Vice President and President. This represents a dangerous consolidation of executive power that threatens the independence of our justice system and the constitutional rights of Americans. Vice President J D Vance recently announced plans to create this position with a mandate to investigate what he termed "cheerleaders and instigators who interfere with government agents." As a Harvard-educated attorney, Vance understands the constitutional implications of such vague and sweeping language. This proposal would criminalize First Amendment protected activities including peaceful protest, advocacy, and criticism of government actions. The deliberately ambiguous terminology of "interference" could be weaponized against journalists, activists, legal observers, and ordinary citizens exercising their constitutional rights. The Department of Justice must maintain its independence from direct political control to function as an impartial arbiter of justice rather than an enforcement arm of executive power. Creating an assistant Attorney General who answers directly to the President and Vice President bypasses the checks and balances that protect Americans from authoritarian overreach. This restructuring would fundamentally alter the separation of powers that safeguards our democracy. These statements were made in the context of remarks about Renee Good, demonstrating how this administration conflates legitimate criticism with criminal activity. When government officials can designate their critics as criminals worthy of investigation, we have abandoned the principles of free speech and due process that define American democracy. I am asking you to publicly oppose this DOJ restructuring, introduce or support legislation that would prevent such changes, and use your oversight authority to hold this administration accountable for proposals that violate constitutional principles. The independence of our justice system and the rights of your constituents depend on immediate congressional action.

Text SIGN PPEPLN to 50409 — President Trump's recent statements regarding María Corina Machado's Nobel Peace Prize demonstrate a fundamental lack of understanding that disqualifies him from holding the highest office in our nation. When Machado stated she wanted to give her Nobel Peace Prize to Trump, he responded that accepting it would be a great honor, apparently unaware that the Norwegian Nobel Committee and Norwegian Nobel Institute explicitly clarified that the prize cannot be revoked, shared, or transferred to others. This is not a minor misunderstanding. The Nobel Committee issued a formal statement explaining that once announced, their decision is final and stands for all time. The statutes explicitly state that no action may be brought against the awarding committee's decision. Yet Trump publicly indicated he would accept an award that literally cannot be given to him, revealing either willful ignorance or an inability to grasp basic facts presented directly to him. This incident exemplifies a pattern of behavior that renders Trump unfit for the presidency. The office requires sound judgment, the capacity to understand complex information, and the self-awareness to recognize one's limitations. Trump's response to Machado's offer shows he lacks these essential qualities. He cannot distinguish between a symbolic gesture and actual reality, between what someone wishes to do and what is legally and procedurally possible. The Constitution provides impeachment precisely for situations where a president demonstrates unfitness for office. Trump's conduct regarding the Nobel Prize, combined with his broader pattern of decision-making, meets this threshold. I urge you to initiate impeachment proceedings immediately and vote to convict. The presidency demands competence, maturity, and basic comprehension of facts. Trump has shown he possesses none of these qualities, and our nation cannot afford to wait until his term ends to address this crisis of leadership.

Text SIGN PRNEIH to 50409 — I have read your response regarding the attempted renaming of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, and frankly, it is internally contradictory and evasive. You state that you “appreciate hearing of [my] opposition” and acknowledge that many Americans are upset by the Board of Trustees’ vote. Yet nowhere in your letter do you express your own opposition to that vote, nor do you indicate that you have taken—or intend to take—any action to stop it. Acknowledging public outrage while declining to act on it is not leadership; it is deflection. You correctly explain that Congress, and Congress alone, has the legal authority to rename the Kennedy Center. You emphasize that the 1964 law made the Center a living memorial to President Kennedy and that the law has not changed. But having laid out that clear legal reality, you then immediately minimize the Board’s conduct by repeatedly describing the renaming as “informal,” as if that somehow excuses it. If the Board lacks the authority to rename the institution, then its unanimous vote was not merely symbolic—it was an improper assertion of power it does not possess. Calling it “informal” does not make it appropriate, lawful, or harmless. You also note that legislation to rename the Center after Donald Trump has stalled in committee. That fact alone underscores the problem: the renaming failed to pass through the democratic process, so the Board attempted to sidestep Congress entirely. Your letter explains why this was wrong, yet stops short of condemning it. That inconsistency is glaring. More troubling is that this is not a cost-free stunt. As you yourself acknowledge, artists have canceled performances in protest. That means lost ticket revenue, lost donations, damaged partnerships, and long-term reputational harm. The Kennedy Center is now bleeding money because performers are refusing to appear at a venue that has been politicized in direct violation of its congressional mandate. This does not “own the libs” or score abstract political points—it actively harms the arts in the United States and undermines one of our premier cultural institutions. Your letter treats this fallout as a footnote rather than the serious consequence of unlawful and reckless behavior. Since you are a member of Congress, you are precisely the person who has the authority—and the responsibility—to act. If the Kennedy Center’s name is to be preserved and its legal mandate enforced, it is Congress that must intervene, not the Board. Your refusal to take a clear stand or push for legislative action amounts to abdicating your duty while letting political vanity and poor judgment damage a national institution. Finally, you mention the pending lawsuit as if it were merely another development rather than evidence that the Board’s action was so improper it required judicial intervention. When a board disregards the law and the intent of Congress, public backlash and legal challenge are not unfortunate side effects—they are the predictable result of misconduct. In short, your letter explains why the Board’s action is legally void, while simultaneously declining to say that it should be reversed or that Congress should intervene. You cannot both affirm congressional authority and shrug when that authority is undermined. If you believe the Kennedy Center should remain the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, then say so plainly and act accordingly. If you do not, then stop hiding behind procedural explanations while allowing a legally established memorial and a major arts institution to be damaged for political vanity. I expect clarity, not hedging.

Text SIGN PLVGSP to 50409 — I am writing as a constituent to demand an immediate and serious congressional investigation into Donald Trump’s use of the presidential pardon power and the growing evidence that this power is being abused as a vehicle for corruption. The Constitution grants the president authority to issue pardons, but it does not exempt a president from federal criminal law. Accepting or soliciting money, political donations, favors, or any other thing of value in exchange for an official act is bribery. A pardon issued as part of such a transaction would be illegal, corrupt, and a flagrant abuse of office. There is no constitutional loophole that allows the pardon power to be sold. Donald Trump’s record on pardons is not merely controversial—it is extraordinary and alarming. Across his time in office, he has issued more than 1,600 pardons, including a massive number of politically charged and preemptive pardons. By comparison, Barack Obama issued 212 pardons over eight years, George W. Bush issued 189, and Bill Clinton issued 396. While past presidents have occasionally used the pardon power broadly, Trump’s use stands apart in both scale and purpose, marked by favoritism toward political allies, loyalists, and individuals accused of corruption. This pattern raises unavoidable questions. When pardons repeatedly benefit those with political connections, financial proximity, or personal loyalty to the president, Congress has a duty to investigate whether those pardons were granted in exchange for something of value. If pardons are being treated as rewards or commodities, then the justice system itself is being auctioned off. The damage caused by even the appearance of purchased pardons is profound. It tells the American people that accountability is optional for the powerful, that justice is negotiable, and that loyalty to a single individual matters more than the rule of law. Congress’s failure to act would signal that corruption at the highest levels will be tolerated so long as it is dressed up as constitutional authority. I urge you to act immediately by: Initiating and supporting a full congressional investigation into whether Donald Trump accepted bribes, donations, or favors in exchange for issuing pardons. Demanding disclosure of all communications, financial records, intermediaries, and decision-making processes related to Trump’s pardon activity. Holding public hearings to determine whether federal bribery laws were violated through misuse of the pardon power. Reasserting that no president is above the law, including when exercising constitutionally granted powers. Failure to investigate this matter would represent a complete abdication of Congress’s oversight responsibilities. The American people deserve accountability, not silence, and justice that applies equally—regardless of wealth, power, or political allegiance. I expect my representative to act decisively and publicly on this issue.

Text SIGN PLYQJU to 50409 — I am writing as a deeply concerned constituent regarding recent reporting and statements surrounding the United States’ posture toward Greenland, an autonomous territory of the Kingdom of Denmark and a long-standing NATO ally. On multiple occasions, Senator Chuck Grassley and others have assured constituents that President Donald Trump would never invade Greenland and that such concerns were unfounded. However, recent reporting indicates that President Trump has asked for plans exploring the use of military force to seize or control Greenland. These reports have been serious enough to alarm U.S. allies and prompt defensive discussions within NATO. This contradiction between public assurances and reported actions is deeply troubling. Any suggestion of using military force against the territory of a NATO ally is reckless, destabilizing, and fundamentally incompatible with U.S. treaty obligations, constitutional norms, and international law. Greenland’s status is not a matter for unilateral U.S. action. Decisions about its future belong to the people of Greenland and Denmark—not the U.S. executive branch acting through coercion or military threat. Even entertaining invasion planning sends a dangerous signal to the world. It undermines NATO unity, emboldens authoritarian regimes, weakens American credibility, and risks unnecessary escalation in the Arctic at a time when cooperation—not confrontation—is essential for global stability. I urge you to take immediate action by: Publicly and unequivocally rejecting any use or threat of military force against Greenland or any NATO ally. Demanding transparency from the administration regarding any military planning or directives related to Greenland. Reasserting Congress’s sole constitutional authority to declare war and preventing executive overreach. Supporting diplomatic engagement and cooperation with Denmark, Greenland, and NATO partners rather than coercion. The American people deserve honesty from their leaders, and our allies deserve assurance that the United States will honor its commitments. Silence or ambiguity in the face of such reports risks normalizing behavior that would have been unthinkable under any previous administration. I expect my representative to act decisively to prevent an unnecessary and dangerous crisis and to uphold the Constitution, international law, and our alliance obligations. Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter.

Text SIGN PVBJJG to 50409 — I am writing as a deeply concerned constituent regarding the serious and ongoing harms caused by artificial intelligence systems deployed without adequate safeguards—specifically the AI model developed by xAI and integrated into X (formerly Twitter), known as Grok. This system has been shown to generate sexually explicit and exploitative material involving children. This is not a theoretical concern. It is an active and dangerous failure that requires immediate action. Recent reporting has documented that Grok has repeatedly generated sexualized images of individuals who appear to be minors in response to user prompts. These images were then posted and circulated on X, despite the platform’s stated policies prohibiting such content. The developers themselves have admitted to “lapses in safeguards” that allowed this material to be created and shared, acknowledging that child sexual abuse material is illegal and prohibited. These failures demonstrate that voluntary promises and after-the-fact fixes are not sufficient. Once such material is generated and distributed, the harm is already done. AI-generated child sexual abuse material contributes to grooming, coercion, sexual extortion, and the normalization of child exploitation. It also retraumatizes survivors and undermines child protection efforts by flooding online spaces with exploitative content. International regulators have already recognized the severity of this issue and have launched investigations or taken action due to the inability of this AI system to prevent the creation of sexualized images of children. The United States should not lag behind when the safety of children is at stake. I urge you to take immediate and decisive action, including: Supporting legislation that requires strict, enforceable safety-by-design standards for any publicly deployed AI system, especially those capable of generating images of people. Holding AI developers and platforms legally accountable when their systems facilitate the creation or dissemination of child sexual abuse material, regardless of whether the content is generated by a human or an algorithm. Requiring transparency, independent audits, and real enforcement mechanisms to ensure AI safeguards are effective before deployment—not after harm occurs. Calling for the immediate suspension or removal from public access of any AI model that cannot reliably prevent the creation of child sexual abuse material. Children must be protected from exploitation in all forms, including digital and AI-generated abuse. Allowing an AI system that repeatedly fails to meet this basic standard to remain online is unacceptable. I expect my elected representative to act with urgency and moral clarity on this issue. Thank you for your time and attention. I look forward to seeing meaningful action taken to protect children and hold powerful technology companies accountable.

Text SIGN PQQAHY to 50409 — Call Out Abusive Prosecution I write to express deep concern about the Department of Justice’s criminal investigation into Federal Reserve Chair Jerome H. Powell. The probe reportedly stems from Powell’s Senate Banking Committee testimony last June regarding the Federal Reserve’s building renovation project. But it is unfolding amid an overt political campaign to pressure the Fed’s interest-rate decisions. That combination raises a grave question: is the criminal process being used to coerce monetary policy rather than to pursue a good-faith law-enforcement objective?  Protect the Federal Reserve’s Independence Chair Powell has stated that the Federal Reserve received grand jury subpoenas and that prosecutors threatened a criminal indictment tied to his testimony. He has called the renovation issue a “mere pretext” for pressuring the central bank. If criminal law is being used to intimidate an independent monetary authority, Congress must respond.  The Federal Reserve’s independence is a cornerstone of U.S. economic stability. Congress insulated the Fed so monetary policy would be set based on economic conditions and long-term stability, not short-term political demands. Using criminal investigations to pressure a central bank chair risks destabilizing markets, spooking investors, and creating a precedent in which future Fed leaders must choose between sound policy and personal legal exposure.  Stop the Weaponization of Justice Prosecutorial power must not be wielded to achieve policy outcomes. Even the appearance that criminal law is being used to influence interest-rate decisions corrodes public trust and blurs the line between justice and politics.  Exercise Congressional Responsibility Congress has a constitutional responsibility to act when foundational guardrails are threatened. I urge you to respond in three concrete ways. Publicly Reject Intimidation Tactics Speak out clearly that criminal investigations must not be used to influence monetary policy or punish institutional independence.  Examine Potential Abuse of Power Hold oversight hearings to examine the basis, timing, referrals, and internal communications surrounding this investigation, including contacts between political officials and prosecutors about the Federal Reserve.  Enact Legislative Safeguards Pursue legislation that reinforces Federal Reserve independence and adds safeguards against retaliatory investigations of officials whose independence is essential to national stability, including transparency requirements and heightened review before subpoenas target monetary policymakers.  If this moment passes without response, future presidents of either party may treat independent institutions as subordinate to political will. That would damage the credibility of both the Fed and the Justice Department. This is not a partisan issue. It is a structural one. The integrity of our financial system and the legitimacy of our legal system depend on your leadership now.

Text SIGN PIQCOY to 50409 — Dear Senator/Representative, I am writing as a constituent to formally express grave concern regarding the conduct, judgment, and fitness for office of the current President of the United States. The President’s repeated displays of instability, demonstrable misunderstanding of international systems, and disregard for established international law and treaty obligations pose a direct threat to U.S. economic security, diplomatic credibility, and global stability. Our alliances are not abstract ideals; they are structural pillars that sustain trade, defense coordination, currency confidence, and long-term economic viability. Undermining them for personal or political impulse is reckless and strategically indefensible. Equally troubling is the continued failure to provide transparency and accountability regarding the Epstein files. Congress has both the authority and the obligation to reopen, fully disclose, and independently investigate all related materials without political shielding or selective redaction. Allegations involving sexual abuse, trafficking, and exploitation—particularly those implicating individuals in positions of power—demand full public accountability. A sitting president credibly alleged to be involved in such conduct, and already adjudicated as a sexual offender, cannot be permitted to remain in office without decisive congressional action. The rule of law is not optional, and executive office does not confer immunity from moral or legal standards. I expect Congress to: 1. Reopen and fully disclose all Epstein-related investigations and records. 2. Reassert congressional oversight authority over executive misconduct. 3. Act to remove any individual from office who demonstrably endangers national security, democratic legitimacy, or basic ethical standards. History will not judge kindly those who chose silence, delay, or partisan loyalty over constitutional responsibility. I urge you to act accordingly and with great haste. You have let this get too far out of hand. Respectfully, a constituent.
