Text SIGN PGGPCX to 50409 — We all deserve a healthcare system that works for all of us. I know there have been discussions about tax credits and ACA insurance plans and how many millions will not be able to afford health insurance. I know that Medicaid cuts enacted last year will force millions out of their health insurance. I also just learned that prescription drug makers agreed to lower prices on a handful of drugs last week but are raising prices on 350 others according to Reuters. They don’t do that in countries where there is universal healthcare. Our system of paying for healthcare is broken. 8% of Americans can’t afford to be insured and millions more have catastrophic insurance policies with such high deductibles as to be useless. We pay twice what our 35 peer industrialized nations with universal healthcare pay and our drug costs can be 10 times as much. Our avoidable death rates, maternal mortality and infant mortality far exceed what our peer industrialized nations have. Those are needless deaths. I want you to make America Healthy and the way to do it is to make sure that everyone can go to the doctor and get the medicines they need without going broke. 62% of Americans want their government to make sure that all Americans have health insurance that works according to the Gallup Poll. We can do that. H. R. 3069, the vastly improved Medicare For All Act would provide public insurance paying private providers for all Americans at far less cost than we pay now. About $750 billion/year less in 2025 dollars per the 2020 Congressional Budget Report. The CBO report is publication 56811 for your reference. I recommend you and your staff read the text of H.R. 3069 because it details specifically how we will insure everyone and provide wider coverage at lower cost. I want you to start thinking about ALL AMERICANS AND WHAT WE ALL NEED. We all need a healthcare system that works for all of us and to be able to go to the doctor and but medicines and not go broke. Enact H. R. 3069 now.

Text SIGN PLJHAQ to 50409 — I am writing to urge you to support H.J.Res. 13, the proposed constitutional amendment that would place long-overdue limits on the presidential pardon power — and to call on Senators to introduce and advance a companion resolution without delay. The pardon power was created as a tool for mercy and justice, not as a shield for corruption. Yet recent history has shown how dangerously vulnerable this power is to abuse when a president can pardon himself, family members, cabinet officials, or campaign staff for crimes connected to their own misconduct or self-interest. H.J.Res. 13 restores the basic principle that no one is above the law, including the President of the United States. By prohibiting self-pardons and barring pardons for close relatives, senior administration officials, and paid campaign employees, this amendment closes loopholes that undermine public trust and invite corruption at the highest levels of government. This is not a partisan issue. Conservatives and liberals alike should agree that the Constitution was never intended to allow a president to erase accountability for himself or his inner circle. The Founders warned explicitly against concentrated power and self-protection by those in office. A president who can pardon himself or his associates is functionally immune from the rule of law — something no republic can survive. Because this reform requires a constitutional amendment, leadership from both chambers is essential. House members should actively champion H.J.Res. 13, and Senators should introduce and support a matching Senate joint resolution so this proposal can advance through Congress and to the states for ratification. Congress has a duty not just to respond to abuses after they occur, but to prevent them. Supporting this amendment is a clear, concrete step toward restoring constitutional balance, public confidence, and the rule of law. I urge you to publicly support this effort and work to see it enacted.

Text SIGN PMLGQU to 50409 — I am writing to urge you to vote in favor of extending Affordable Care Act subsidies when Congress takes up this critical issue the week of January 5, 2026. The expiration of these subsidies at the end of 2025 has created a healthcare crisis affecting millions of Americans who now face impossible choices between paying for coverage and meeting basic needs. The numbers tell a devastating story. Without subsidies, monthly healthcare costs have risen by an average of 114 percent according to KFF. Adrienne Martin, a 47-year-old Texas mother, saw her premium jump from $630 to $2,400 monthly. Her husband requires IV medication costing $70,000 monthly to treat a blood-clotting disease, so going without insurance is not an option they can safely consider. Yet paying $30,000 annually in premiums is equally impossible. Maddie Bannister in California faces an increase from $124 to $908 monthly, an $11,000 annual cost that will derail her family's ability to save for a home. Stephanie Petersen in Illinois is being forced back onto Medicaid after her premium increased from $75 to $580 monthly. More than 27 million Americans will be without health insurance in 2026, and experts predict this number will grow as costs continue rising. About 24 million Americans purchase insurance through the ACA marketplace, with the majority relying on tax credits to make coverage affordable. These are working families who earn too much for Medicaid but cannot afford unsubsidized premiums. The three-year extension would cost $35 billion annually, a reasonable investment in the health and economic security of millions of Americans. As Republican Congressman Mike Lawler noted, three-quarters of ACA enrollees are in states won by Donald Trump. This is not a partisan issue but a matter of basic healthcare access. I urge you to vote yes on extending ACA subsidies and restore affordable health coverage for millions of Americans who are counting on Congress to act.

Text SIGN PEWAZP to 50409 — I am demanding an immediate, public investigation into Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s newly announced $100 million hiring scheme. This expenditure is not just reckless—it is indefensible. If Congress claims there is no money for a living wage for American workers, no money to adequately fund our public schools, no money for affordable housing, and no money to guarantee healthcare as a basic human right, then there is certainly no justification for funneling $100 million into expanding an agency with a documented history of abuse, misconduct, and preventable deaths in custody. This is not a budgeting issue. This is a priorities issue. ICE has repeatedly demonstrated an inability—or unwillingness—to operate within the bounds of the law and basic human decency. People have died in its custody. Families have been torn apart. Due process has been ignored. Oversight has been evaded. And yet, instead of accountability, reform, or restraint, this agency is being rewarded with massive new funding. That is unacceptable. Congress controls the purse strings. Congress has oversight authority. Congress is responsible for ensuring taxpayer dollars are not used to expand harm while Americans are told to accept poverty wages, crumbling schools, and medical bankruptcy as “fiscal reality.” You cannot credibly tell working families to tighten their belts while approving nine-figure expansions of a law enforcement agency that has failed to earn public trust. This $100 million must be frozen immediately pending a full investigation that includes: • The legal authority for this hiring scheme • The source of the funds • The intended use of personnel • ICE’s track record of compliance with civil rights and due process • Why accountability and reform were not prerequisites for funding If Congress refuses to act, then it is complicit. The American people are watching. We see exactly whose lives are being invested in—and whose are being written off. Do your job. Investigate this. Stop it. Reclaim your authority.

Text SIGN PVNDNE to 50409 — I am writing to urge you to support legislation that protects National Park Service jobs and restores full funding and staffing to this critical agency. Recent workforce reductions have severely compromised the NPS's ability to serve the American people. Full-time Park Service employment has dropped to just 12,600 employees, a 24 percent decline since the start of this administration. According to John Garder, senior director of budget and appropriations for the National Parks Conservation Association, more than 4,000 permanent employees have been eliminated through layoffs, buyouts, firings, and forced resignations. These losses include scientists, historians, archeologists, water and air quality specialists, and climate change specialists whose expertise is essential for protecting our natural and cultural heritage. This workforce crisis is occurring while our parks face record visitation. The park system received nearly 332 million visitors in 2024, yet fewer seasonal employees were hired than usual. The remaining staff are stretched dangerously thin, unable to adequately maintain facilities, protect resources, or ensure visitor safety. Bill Wade, executive director of the Association of National Park Rangers, describes current morale as the worst he has seen in over 60 years of affiliation with the NPS. The National Park Service is the most popular federal agency in America. A Pew Research Center survey from August 2024 found that 76 percent of Americans give it a favorable rating, including 78 percent of Republicans and 79 percent of Democrats. This bipartisan support reflects the deep value Americans place on our national parks. I urge you to cosponsor and advance legislation that blocks future mass firings at the NPS and ensures adequate funding for full staffing levels. Our parks belong to all Americans and deserve the resources necessary to preserve them for future generations. The current trajectory threatens to undermine an agency that has served this nation with distinction for over a century.

Text SIGN PUECFL to 50409 — My monthly health insurance premium is almost $400 more expensive than last year. I was not getting subsidy before.

I demand reform with real medical professional and true concern for health central!

Text SIGN PXEJNV to 50409 — Bad judicial nominees are a generational problem, so I urge you to oppose the nomination of Brian Charles Lea to the District Court. While Lea possesses the right credentials on paper his record demonstrates a troubling pattern of prioritizing corporate interests over public health and civil rights. With the current tactic of switching cases to court ‘friendly’ to Trump’s circle of supporters and business interests, this means Lea would be another unsafe court for impartial justice. At the top of his list, and very concerning is Lea's extensive work defending R.J. Reynolds tobacco company. Between 2017 and 2024, he helped the company evade accountability in multiple cases involving victims of smoking-related diseases. In one publicized case, he assisted in strategy that led to the reversal of a $23.6 billion judgment. In another case, he successfully stripped nearly $7 million in damages from a widow even after the tobacco company was found liable. This work directly undermined justice for families devastated by products that cause preventable death and disease. In yet another case, Lea's representation raises serious civil rights concerns. He argued that Bryan Rintoul, the same-sex widower of Edward Caprio who died from smoking-caused lung disease in 2018, should be denied damages because the couple couldn't have been legally married when Caprio was diagnosed in 1996. This argument effectively punishes couples for discrimination they faced under unconstitutional laws, contradicting the principles established in Obergefell v. Hodges. Additionally, Lea has represented the Trump Administration's National Institutes of Health in defending guidance that caps cost reimbursements for federal research grants. A district court had already issued a permanent injunction against this policy, recognizing its potential harm to critical scientific research. Attacking science through the law is a disturbing tactic, and Lea is obviously a zealous ideologue and advocate for this idea, having spent years on these kinds of cases. Federal judges must demonstrate a commitment to protecting individual rights and public welfare, not a career spent helping corporations avoid responsibility for harm they cause. Lea's record suggests he would bring a pro-corporate bias to the bench that is inconsistent with fair and impartial justice. I respectfully ask that you oppose his confirmation. Thank you.

Text SIGN POQARM to 50409 — 2025 was a year of rapid and catastrophic expansion of the Executive branch's power. The United States of America was not designed for one person to hold this much governmental power- there are supposed to be checks and balances. A tripod is more stable than a staff, and Congress and the Supreme Court were always meant to check the Preaident's power so we didn't end up with a monarch or a despot. Since Trump has stacked the court with justices who are either beholden to him or who bring their far-right political and religious ideologies into their rulings, one leg of the tripod has retracted. Our Republican-led Congress was notoriously, humiliatingly silent as he expanded his power, often unconstitutionally. Trump has discovered an act is only illegal if someone stops you, and the people who are meant to do that have instead enabled and assisted him in nearly everything he's done over the last year. I call on Congress to remember your constitutional duties, to step up and fulfill your obligation to the citizens who elected you, and rein in his unchecked power so the governmental branches can begin functioning properly again. Please don't let 2026 be a repeat of 2025- I don't believe our way of life will survive another year like this one.

Text SIGN PNLXLE to 50409 — We write with urgent concern over a disturbing trend: the increasing criminalization of basic mutual aid and solidarity in the United States. Communities helping communities is a fundamental American value, yet across the country, individuals are being punished for this essential work. In recent months, volunteers with Food Not Bombs—a group that shares free food in public spaces—have faced arrests and harassment in cities like Denver and San Antonio, simply for feeding people. Simultaneously, in Atlanta, state authorities wielded aggressive racketeering charges to target the bail fund supporting the Stop Cop City movement. This dangerous escalation frames collective care and legal support as criminal conspiracy. These actions do not make us safer. They criminalize compassion, stifle free speech and assembly, and worsen public trust. Targeting mutual aid punishes the most vulnerable and chills the very community networks that save lives during crises. We call on you to take federal action to protect and decriminalize mutual aid. This must include: · Holding hearings on this misuse of law enforcement resources against charitable acts. · Investigating potential civil rights violations in these crackdowns. · Supporting legislation that explicitly shields non-profit mutual aid and bail fund operations from being prosecuted as conspiracy or racketeering. In a time of profound need, we must defend, not dismantle, the bonds of community support. Please act to ensure that no human being is penalized for practicing compassion.

Text SIGN PGVATQ to 50409 — You swore an oath to the United States Constitution—not to a president, not to a political party, not to your donors, and not to your own ambition. That oath requires action, not silence. It requires courage, not cowardice. And it requires accountability, not excuses. The Constitution is under direct assault. The rule of law is being openly defied. Power is being abused. Crimes are being committed in plain sight—and Congress is standing by while tyranny advances inch by inch. History is not kind to legislative bodies that refuse to act while democratic institutions rot from within. No one is above the law. Not presidents. Not cabinet members. Not political allies. Not billionaires. Not anyone. If crimes have been committed, they must be investigated and prosecuted—fully, publicly, and without favoritism. Selective justice is not justice. Delayed justice is not justice. Silence in the face of criminal conduct is complicity. Your constitutional duty is clear: • Defend the separation of powers • Enforce the laws you pass • Hold the Executive Branch accountable • Protect the American people from authoritarian abuse • Uphold due process and equal justice under the law The Constitution does not enforce itself. Democracy does not survive on speeches and press releases. It survives only when those entrusted with power are willing to use it to stop lawlessness—even when it is politically inconvenient. If you will not act, then say so plainly to the American people. Admit that you are unwilling to defend the Constitution you swore to protect. Admit that you are choosing political safety over democratic survival. But if you still believe in this republic—prove it. Do your job. Enforce the law. Prosecute wrongdoing. Protect this nation from tyranny. The American people are watching. History is recording. And your inaction will not be forgotten.

Text SIGN PXGTPG to 50409 — I urge you to vote to override President Trump's vetoes of H.R. 131 and H.R. 504. Both bills passed with unanimous bipartisan support, demonstrating their merit and necessity for the communities they serve. H.R. 131, sponsored by Rep. Lauren Boebert, would lower payments certain Colorado communities make for water pipeline construction. According to Senators Michael Bennet and John Hickenlooper, this bill costs taxpayers nothing while delivering safe, reliable water to rural communities. The president's justification that the veto prevents taxpayer handouts is contradicted by the bill's actual fiscal impact. H.R. 504 would expand land reserved for the Miccosukee Tribe in Florida and direct the Department of Interior to work with the tribe on flood mitigation in the added area. This addresses both tribal sovereignty and critical infrastructure needs. The president's veto message cited preventing expensive and unreliable policies, yet these bills had earned support from both parties in both chambers. When legislation achieves unanimous passage, it reflects genuine consensus that transcends partisan divisions. The vetoes appear motivated by political grievances rather than policy concerns, particularly given ongoing tensions between the administration and Colorado officials over the Tina Peters case and threats to close a research center in the state. Congress has the constitutional authority to override presidential vetoes with a two-thirds majority in both chambers. These bills merit that action. Rural communities need reliable water infrastructure, and tribal lands require proper management and flood protection. These are not partisan issues but fundamental responsibilities of government. I ask you to vote to override both vetoes and ensure these worthy projects move forward. The communities depending on H.R. 131 and H.R. 504 should not be collateral damage in political disputes unrelated to the substance of these bills.

Text SIGN PDUDYO to 50409 — I am writing to urge you to take immediate action to hold President Trump accountable for corruption that undermines our democratic institutions and the public trust. Recent investigative reporting involving over 60 journalists from multiple beats has uncovered extensive evidence requiring congressional oversight and potential legislative remedies. When major news organizations deploy this level of investigative resources, including reporters Peter Baker, Maggie Haberman, Eric Lipton, Ben Protess, and dozens of others spanning national security, business, international affairs, and investigative beats, it signals the scope and seriousness of the findings. This collaborative effort represents the kind of comprehensive documentation that demands a proportional response from Congress. I am asking you to use your position to ensure full accountability through several mechanisms. First, support or initiate investigations through relevant committees with subpoena power to compel testimony and document production. Second, advocate for legislative reforms that close loopholes enabling conflicts of interest and self-dealing by elected officials. Third, publicly call for transparency regarding financial entanglements that may compromise decision-making in the public interest. The involvement of reporters covering everything from technology policy to international finance to national security suggests this is not a single isolated incident but a pattern requiring systemic reform. When corruption goes unchecked, it erodes faith in government, creates unequal application of law, and allows policy decisions to be made for personal enrichment rather than constituent welfare. Your constituents deserve representatives who will prioritize accountability over party loyalty. I expect you to take a clear public stance on these findings and work toward meaningful consequences and reforms. The evidence is documented. The question is whether Congress will act on it.

Text SIGN PWXKNG to 50409 — I write with grave concern about the recent federal action requiring states to jump through extensive new verification hurdles before receiving child care funding — and, in the case of Minnesota, suspending payments entirely pending those verifications. Tens of thousands of children and families are being jeopardized by a policy that threatens to disrupt access to essential early child care services. Child care providers in Minnesota estimate that more than 20,000 children in over 4,000 programs could be affected by the funding freeze. Many of these centers serve low-income families who depend on federal assistance so parents can work, attend school, and support their households. Providers warn that without timely funds, centers may close within weeks, eliminating vital services and forcing parents to choose between employment and child care. This development stems from the Department of Health and Human Services’ response to alleged fraud at a small number of daycare centers. Officials stated that the freeze and heightened documentation requirements are intended to root out wrongdoing. However, the specific allegations — including claims of fraud at a limited set of facilities highlighted in a viral video — have not been independently verified, and Minnesota officials contend the state has long been addressing fraud through standard oversight mechanisms. Critics also note that broad suspensions of funding jeopardize legitimate providers who are not accused of any wrongdoing. Regardless of the need to investigate fraud, the federal government’s approach risks punishing millions of families and thousands of childcare businesses for issues that affect a tiny fraction of providers. Child care funding through the Child Care and Development Fund is vital infrastructure; it enables parents to work and contribute to the economy, supports early childhood development, and helps states maintain a stable and equitable system of care. Disrupting or withholding this funding without adequate safeguards for families will have profound ripple effects: lost wages, closed programs, and increased hardship for children who thrive with consistent care. I urge you to act decisively to protect childcare funding and uphold the federal commitment to accessible early care: 1. Use your power of the purse to ensure that funds appropriated by Congress are delivered promptly to childcare providers and cannot be withheld by executive fiat. 2. Require any fraud investigations to be narrowly targeted and accompanied by due process protections so that legitimate providers are not left without support. 3. Enshrine in law clear standards that prevent future disruptions to childcare access based on unverified or politically motivated claims. Childcare is not a luxury — it is essential infrastructure enabling families to participate fully in society and the economy. Congress must intervene now to ensure stability, fairness, and continued opportunity for all families.

Text SIGN PRWQWC to 50409 — I am writing to you as a constituent to demand immediate legislative action regarding the government’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files. The current "drip-feed" release of documents by the Department of Justice is unacceptable. Investigative journalists and experts have publicly criticized this process as a calculated effort to fatigue the public and protect powerful individuals. The redaction of faces in incriminating photographs and the withholding of files related to politically sensitive figures suggest a two-tiered justice system: one for the average citizen, and one for the "Epstein Class." Transparency is not a partisan request; it is a mandate for equal justice. I am urging you to take the following three concrete actions: 1. Co-Sponsor and Pass the "Epstein Files Disclosure Act" immediately. Support the bipartisan legislation (led by Reps. Khanna and Massie) that forces the total, unredacted release of all government records related to Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. If you have not yet co-sponsored this bill, I ask that you do so today. 2. Reject any "Poison Pill" Senate Amendments. Be vigilant against attempts to water down this legislation in the Senate. We do not accept amendments that add loopholes for "national security" or "privacy" that are thinly veiled attempts to shield embarrassed elites. The bill must pass in a form that guarantees total transparency. 3. Initiate Oversight Hearings on DOJ Redactions. Use your committee powers to demand answers from the Department of Justice. Congress must summon officials to testify under oath about why specific files are being withheld, why faces of perpetrators are being blurred, and why the release has been delayed for years. We deserve to know who is making the decision to hide this information. We cannot allow the clock to run out on justice. I expect to see your public support for these measures immediately.

Text SIGN PBYXPC to 50409 — I am demanding that you immediately block, defund, and publicly oppose President Trump’s proposed construction of a so-called “Triumphant Arch.” This project is an insult to the American people and a grotesque misuse of public funds. Let me be absolutely clear: if this country does not have the money to guarantee healthcare, affordable housing, a living wage, food security, and basic dignity for its people, then it certainly does not have the money for a vanity monument. Millions of Americans are rationing insulin, skipping doctor visits, sleeping in their cars, and working full-time jobs while still living in poverty. Families are one medical emergency away from bankruptcy. Veterans are struggling to access care. Children are going hungry. And your response is to entertain the construction of a massive, self-congratulatory arch? This is not leadership. It is moral rot. A “Triumphant Arch” does nothing to improve public safety, public health, education, infrastructure, or economic stability. It creates no meaningful benefit for working Americans. It exists solely as an ego project—one that demands taxpayer money while offering nothing in return. Congress controls the purse strings. You are not powerless. You have both the authority and the obligation to say no. If you approve funding for this monument while claiming there is “no money” for healthcare, housing, or wages, then you are openly admitting that spectacle matters more to you than human lives. Voters will remember that. Stop this project. Refuse the funding. Reassert fiscal responsibility and moral sanity. Put public money where it belongs—into the lives and well-being of the people you were elected to serve, not into a monument to excess. Anything less is a failure of duty.

Text SIGN PZSJRV to 50409 — Today I take pen in hand to write and urge you to protect HUD funding for permanent supportive housing programs that have proven effective in addressing homelessness. The current administration's proposed funding shifts would disregard evidence-based solutions and destabilize programs that vulnerable populations depend on for stability and survival. At a time when Trump and his enablers war on the poor is clear to be seen in SNAP support blaming the poor and immigrants for crimes, housing instability is their latest excuse for blaming poverty on those who are poor. Long gone is any sense of decency and care for families, veterans and other unhoused persons. Instead I support programs of Permanent supportive housing. They’ve been proven effective: It combines affordable housing with wraparound services like mental health care, substance abuse treatment, and job training. This model has consistently demonstrated success in moving people out of homelessness and keeping them housed. When we abandon proven approaches in favor of untested alternatives, we gamble with the futures of our most vulnerable neighbors, including veterans, families with children, people with disabilities, and those experiencing chronic homelessness. To get to this point, especially in our cities, has taken a lot of hard work and cooperation with housing advocacy agencies. The proposed changes would disrupt existing programs that communities have built over years of careful implementation. Housing providers, social service agencies, and local governments have coordinated their efforts around current HUD funding structures. Sudden shifts create chaos in service delivery, leaving people who have finally achieved housing stability at risk of returning to the streets. The human cost of this instability extends beyond individual suffering to increased emergency room visits, law enforcement interactions, and other expensive crisis interventions that burden local budgets. I urge you to advocate for maintaining robust HUD funding for permanent supportive housing programs and to oppose any budget proposals that would undermine these evidence-based solutions. Our communities need consistent, reliable federal support for housing programs that work. The people served by these programs deserve better than to have their futures treated as expendable in policy experiments. Press the HUD Secretary hard in hearings and demand explanations for this shift. I’m guessing there’s no reason except keeping people poor, which works to their narrative. Stand with constituents experiencing homelessness and the organizations working to serve them by protecting HUD funding for permanent supportive housing. Thank you.

Text SIGN POBQFX to 50409 — I am writing to urge you to reconsider your administration's efforts to dismantle the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. The agency has returned over $21 billion to American consumers since its creation, and this success comes without costing taxpayers a single dollar. These are real results that have helped millions of Americans recover money lost to fraud and predatory practices. Federal District Court Judge Amy Berman Jackson ruled on Tuesday that your administration must continue seeking funding for the CFPB, rejecting the legal argument that the agency cannot be funded because the Federal Reserve is operating at a loss. Judge Jackson noted that the administration was "actively and unabashedly trying to shut the agency down again, through different means," and warned that accepting your administration's position "would be tantamount to closing what is left of the Bureau." She emphasized that the agency is now "hanging by a thread." The CFPB was created after the 2008 financial crisis specifically to protect consumers against the kind of fraud and predatory practices that devastated American families and nearly collapsed our economy. The agency collects complaints against businesses and holds bad actors accountable. When Acting Director Russell Vought ordered a stop to all work at the agency and sent layoff notices to about 1,400 workers in April, it signaled an abandonment of this consumer protection mission. A coalition of 21 states and the District of Columbia filed suit last week to prevent the defunding, demonstrating broad concern about eliminating this watchdog. The legal battles and uncertainty are creating chaos while leaving consumers vulnerable. I respectfully ask that you allow the CFPB to continue its congressionally mandated mission of protecting American consumers. The agency's track record of returning billions to citizens who were wronged by financial institutions demonstrates its value. Preserving consumer protection should be a priority that transcends political differences.

Text SIGN PREQLX to 50409 — I am writing to urge you to take immediate action to protect the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau from the administration's ongoing attempts to dismantle it. On Tuesday, federal district court Judge Amy Berman Jackson ruled that the administration must continue seeking funding for the CFPB, rejecting legal arguments that would effectively close the agency. Judge Jackson noted that the administration is "actively and unabashedly trying to shut the agency down again, through different means," and warned that "today, the agency is hanging by a thread." The CFPB has returned over $21 billion to American consumers since its creation after the 2008 financial crisis, and not one penny of its funding comes from taxpayer dollars. The agency operates as Congress mandated, protecting people against fraud and predatory financial practices. When acting director Russell Vought ordered a stop to all agency work and sent layoff notices to about 1,400 workers in April, it became clear that the goal is elimination, not reform. A coalition of 21 states and the District of Columbia filed suit last week to prevent the defunding, arguing that the administration is too narrowly interpreting which Federal Reserve funds can support the agency. These legal battles should not be necessary to preserve an agency that serves such a vital consumer protection function. I am asking you to publicly support the CFPB's continued operation and full funding. Use your position to ensure that Congress fulfills its obligation to maintain this agency as originally intended. The CFPB collects consumer complaints against businesses and enforces protections that benefit ordinary Americans, not wealthy corporations seeking to avoid accountability. The agency's survival should not depend on court injunctions. It needs legislative champions who will defend its mission and funding structure. I urge you to be one of those champions and to oppose any efforts to weaken or eliminate consumer financial protections.

Text SIGN PGKHQJ to 50409 — The current crisis at the Social Security Administration did not arise by accident. It is the direct result of deliberate policy decisions made by the Trump regime through the Office of Management and Budget and the so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which imposed staffing caps, hiring freezes, and budgetary constraints on an agency already strained by rising demand. Social Security benefits are funded by workers and employers through dedicated payroll contributions. These are earned benefits — not discretionary handouts and not welfare. When benefits are delayed or denied because claims go unprocessed and phones go unanswered, the government is failing to deliver money that belongs to the people who paid into the system. Under OMB directives and DOGE restructuring initiatives, SSA staffing levels were reduced or frozen while workloads increased. Field offices and processing centers were left without the personnel needed to handle disability determinations, retiree claims, benefit corrections, and survivor benefits. The predictable result has been massive backlogs, service failures, and unacceptable delays that now affect millions of Americans. This is not a matter of ideology. It is a matter of governance. Congress has constitutional authority over appropriations and oversight, and it must act when executive branch actions undermine the lawful operation of a critical agency. I urge Congress to: • Hold oversight hearings examining the role of OMB and DOGE decisions in creating SSA backlogs • Require full transparency on staffing levels, processing delays, and administrative directives • Restore and increase funding to meet actual workload demands • Reaffirm that Social Security benefits are earned and must be delivered promptly and reliably Every delay represents real harm — missed rent, delayed medical care, and financial insecurity — imposed on people who upheld their side of the Social Security compact. Congress must step in to correct the damage, protect beneficiaries, and ensure that executive branch actions never again cripple an agency entrusted with the public’s earned income.

Text SIGN PXUXCP to 50409 — Speaker Johnson needs to answer for abandoning Congress to White House control. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and multiple House Republicans confirm Johnson operates under direct orders from the White House, not as an independent legislative leader. Members report his approval among colleagues has dropped to 20%. Rep. Elise Stefanik publicly accused him of torpedoing the Republican agenda and lying about it. This isn’t about party politics. When the Speaker turns Congress into a rubber stamp for any president, he breaks the separation of powers our founders built to stop exactly this kind of overreach. We have three branches of government for a reason. Trump’s approval sits at 36% with 60% of Americans disapproving. His economic approval stands at 33%. Seventy percent of Americans say their communities are unaffordable. Only 25% of independents support him. These aren’t outliers or partisan polls. They’re consistent across multiple surveys from Gallup, NPR, and AP-NORC. The president’s agenda clearly doesn’t match what most Americans want or need. I’m asking you to open a formal inquiry into whether Speaker Johnson violated his oath by letting the White House dictate Congressional action. We demand public hearings. This is a constitutional crisis, not a procedural disagreement, and it demands immediate oversight before more damage is done.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
