Text SIGN PQZSKS to 50409 — On January 24, 2026, federal immigration agents shot and killed Alex Jeffrey Pretti, a 37-year-old ICU nurse and U.S. citizen, on a public street in Minneapolis. Multiple verified videos show Pretti holding a phone, not a weapon, as agents pepper-sprayed him, forced him to the ground, disarmed him, and then fired repeatedly into his body. This killing followed another fatal shooting by federal agents in Minneapolis just weeks earlier. Together, these deaths represent a terrifying escalation: heavily armed federal agents operating inside American cities with little regard for civilian safety, constitutional rights, or local authority. State and local officials in Minnesota have condemned these actions. Governors and mayors have warned that federal enforcement teams are acting with impunity, obstructing state investigations, and refusing to cooperate with lawful oversight. This is not law enforcement—it is a breakdown of accountability. While immigration enforcement is a federal responsibility, states are not required to accept federal actions that endanger residents, undermine public trust, or interfere with state law enforcement and judicial processes. State governments retain significant power over cooperation, access, and authorization within their borders. I urge you, as a state legislator, to act immediately and in coordination with lawmakers across the country to form a unified response. Specifically, I ask that you: • Join with other states in formally opposing the continued deployment of ICE and related federal enforcement operations that have resulted in civilian deaths. • Adopt or support resolutions asserting state authority over cooperation with federal agents and rejecting operations that violate constitutional norms or public safety. • Protect the right of residents to record law enforcement activity in public spaces without fear of violence or retaliation. • Call on your governor to work with other governors—across party lines—to demand the withdrawal of ICE from states where its presence has led to bloodshed. Governor JB Pritzker has already called on governors and legislatures nationwide to stand together against what he described as lawlessness inflicted on the states. That call should not stand alone. When federal power is abused, the Constitution does not demand silence—it demands action. No American should be killed for filming law enforcement or helping another person off the ground. No state should be forced to tolerate federal agents who operate above the law. Unity among the states is not only justified—it is necessary. Please act now to help stop the killings and restore accountability.

Text SIGN POMNSN to 50409 — President Donald J. Trump has escalated from inflammatory rhetoric to explicit threats against a NATO ally and its autonomous territory, Greenland. These threats now include economic coercion, alliance pressure, and refusal to rule out the use of force. Congress must intervene immediately. Multiple outlets, including Bloomberg, PBS NewsHour, the BBC, and The Atlantic, have confirmed the authenticity of a message distributed by the U.S. National Security Council to European governments, originally sent by President Trump to Norway’s prime minister. In that message, the President asserted that the United States must have “complete and total control of Greenland,” rejected Denmark’s sovereignty over the territory, and explicitly linked his foreign-policy posture to resentment over not receiving the Nobel Peace Prize. These claims are demonstrably false and profoundly dangerous. Greenland is a self-governing territory within the Kingdom of Denmark, a founding member of NATO. Danish sovereignty over Greenland is well established in international law and has been formally recognized by the United States for decades, including through bilateral defense agreements. The President has justified his threats by claiming Greenland must be seized to prevent Russian or Chinese aggression. This argument is fundamentally incoherent. Greenland is already protected by NATO. The entire purpose of the alliance is collective defense: any attack on Denmark or Greenland would trigger a unified response. By threatening a NATO ally, the President is not strengthening deterrence—he is destroying it. If the United States attacks or coerces its own allies, the alliance ceases to function, and the very risks the President claims to fear become more likely, not less. The President has also confirmed his intent to impose tariffs on allied nations and to use NATO obligations as leverage for territorial demands. European leaders and industry groups have warned that these actions risk a trade war and permanent damage to transatlantic security cooperation. Denmark has now begun reinforcing its military presence in Greenland in response to U.S. threats—an extraordinary and alarming development between allies. Congress cannot dismiss this as bluster. The Constitution assigns Congress authority over war, trade, and appropriations precisely to prevent reckless or personal decision-making from dragging the nation into conflict. Allowing a president to threaten a NATO ally with force or economic punishment based on personal grievance places the United States on a path toward isolation, instability, and long-term loss of credibility. We therefore urge Congress to act immediately by: 1. Publicly repudiating any attempt to seize or coerce control over Greenland. 2. Passing legislation or a War Powers resolution prohibiting the use of U.S. forces against Denmark or Greenland without explicit congressional authorization. 3. Blocking funding for any military, intelligence, or economic action intended to pressure Denmark or Greenland. 4. Holding immediate oversight hearings on the President’s conduct, decision-making, and fitness with respect to foreign policy and national security. 5. Reaffirming U.S. commitments to NATO and the post–World War II rules-based international order. Silence now would constitute acquiescence. History shows that unchecked executive power in foreign affairs leads not to strength, but to catastrophe. Congress is the last constitutional guardrail. It must act.

Text SIGN PEFMZK to 50409 — Last week, an ICE agent shot and killed Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year-old U.S. citizen and mother, while she sat in her car in Minneapolis. Video evidence and eyewitness accounts have raised serious questions about the use of deadly force. In a functioning democracy, this would trigger restraint, accountability, and an independent investigation. Instead, the Trump regime chose intimidation. Rather than focusing on the killing of an American citizen by federal officers, senior officials immediately pivoted to attacking critics, smearing the victim, and threatening investigations into journalists and citizens who spoke out. This represents a dangerous escalation: the criminalization of constitutionally protected speech. Vice President JD Vance publicly announced an investigation into what he described as a “broad left-wing network,” explicitly naming media organizations and private citizens whom he accused of “supporting,” “cheerleading,” or amplifying criticism of the administration’s immigration enforcement. Those words matter. He did not say “inciting violence.” He did not allege specific crimes. He described speech, journalism, protest, and online expression — activity protected by the First Amendment. That alone should alarm every member of Congress. Equally disturbing is the Vice President’s apparent involvement in announcing or shaping an investigation tied to a politically explosive incident. Prosecutors investigate crimes, not people or viewpoints. Political officials do not publicly threaten investigations into critics of the government. When they do, it signals abuse of power and an erosion of the separation between law enforcement and political retaliation. Meanwhile, state and local officials in Minnesota have raised concerns that federal authorities are blocking independent investigations into the shooting itself. The family of Ms. Good has retained civil rights counsel and called for transparency, while even some ICE personnel have publicly questioned the operation and its aftermath. These facts underscore the need for accountability — not distraction. Yet the regime's response has been to invert justice: treating public outrage and press scrutiny as suspect, while the killing of a citizen fades into the background. This inversion is how democratic norms collapse. When criticism becomes “conspiracy,” journalism becomes “incitement,” and solidarity becomes “cheerleading,” the law is no longer applied neutrally. Congress has both the authority and the obligation to act. You must demand independent investigations into the killing of Renee Nicole Good. You must hold hearings on executive intimidation of journalists and citizens. And you must make clear, unequivocally, that the First Amendment is not conditional on political loyalty. If this precedent is allowed to stand, the chilling effect will be immediate and lasting. A government that investigates speech today will prosecute it tomorrow. This is not a partisan issue. It is a constitutional one. History will judge whether Congress defended the freedoms it was sworn to protect.

Text SIGN PQFQEF to 50409 — Since the first day of his second term, President Trump has shown open contempt for the Constitution. He now asks Congress to ratify that lawlessness by passing a continuing resolution that would fund the federal government at current levels—including funding for unconstitutional conduct, state-sanctioned violence, and dangerous abuses of military power. Congress must refuse. Instead, Congress must use its Article I authority to defund an authoritarian agenda that is already harming Americans and destabilizing the world. This month, the president proposed increasing the Department of Defense budget by roughly 50 percent—an increase of hundreds of billions of dollars on top of an already staggering defense budget that already exceeds one trillion dollars annually. This proposal comes as the executive branch demonstrates open disregard for international law and civilian protection. Recent reporting shows U.S. military operations involving aircraft disguised as civilian planes—conduct prohibited under the law of war. At the same time, the administration has retaliated against members of Congress for warning service members that they must refuse illegal orders, signaling a dangerous effort to politicize the military and punish constitutional oversight. At home, the administration has unleashed a heavily armed federal force against American communities. Under the banner of immigration enforcement, masked agents have conducted warrantless raids, used chemical agents on civilians, detained U.S. citizens without charge, and killed an innocent American woman, Renee Nicole Good, on a public street. In the aftermath of her killing, the administration smeared the victim, interfered with local investigations, and pushed to investigate her surviving spouse. Multiple career federal prosecutors have resigned in protest over the Department of Justice’s efforts to cut state authorities out of the case—clear evidence that DOJ is being used not to enforce the law, but to protect federal violence and punish political opponents. The administration has also attempted to freeze $10 billion in congressionally approved federal funding for child welfare and related programs in Minnesota and other blue states, openly using federal funds as a weapon of political retaliation. A federal judge promptly blocked that directive, confirming yet again that the president is acting without lawful authority. The president himself has now embraced the word “retribution” to describe these actions. Congress cannot continue funding agencies that operate outside the Constitution while claiming to defend democracy and public safety. If the president openly threatens to defund states, ignores appropriations law, retaliates against protected speech, and deploys federal force against civilians, then Congress must respond in the only way the Constitution permits—by withholding funds. We urge Congress to: • Refuse to pass a clean continuing resolution • Reject any increase to the Department of Defense budget, including the proposed 50% expansion • Defund and dismantle abusive immigration enforcement operations • Block funding for unauthorized or unlawful military actions • Condition appropriations and confirmations on full constitutional compliance • Reassert Congress’s exclusive authority over spending and war powers The courts move slowly. Federal agencies have been politicized. The power of the purse remains Congress’s most immediate and effective check. Funding this administration without conditions is not compromise—it is complicity. Congress must act now to defend the Constitution, protect civilian life, and stop the consolidation of unchecked executive power.

Text SIGN PKQJIW to 50409 — I am writing to urge you to initiate impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth for their roles in the unauthorized military strikes in Venezuela that resulted in the capture of President Nicolás Maduro. While I oppose Maduro's authoritarian regime, the weekend military operation in Caracas represents a clear violation of constitutional limits on executive power. The President does not have unilateral authority to conduct offensive military operations against a sovereign nation without congressional authorization. Trump's characterization of the strikes as "amazing" and "brilliant tactically" at the House GOP retreat demonstrates a cavalier attitude toward the constitutional requirement for congressional approval of military action. The operation has created a dangerous precedent for executive overreach. Trump has already announced plans to exploit Venezuelan oil resources, telling reporters "we got a lot of oil to drill" and teasing a meeting with oil executives. He has named Marco Rubio, Pete Hegseth, Stephen Miller, and JD Vance as the team overseeing US involvement in Venezuela, effectively establishing an occupation government without congressional input. Climate experts warn this could produce an additional 550 million tons of CO2 annually if Venezuelan oil production reaches 1.5 million barrels per day, equivalent to the annual emissions of the UK or Brazil. Trump's dismissal of Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado, who is widely believed to have won the 2024 election, in favor of working with interim president Delcy Rodríguez further demonstrates that this operation serves Trump's interests rather than democratic principles. His statement that there will be no Venezuelan election within 30 days because "we have to fix the country first" reveals imperial ambitions. I urge you to hold these officials accountable through impeachment proceedings. The Constitution requires congressional authorization for military action, and this administration has flagrantly violated that requirement.

Text SIGN PQRBCO to 50409 — You swore an oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States. That oath now requires you to confront a growing and explicit threat to constitutional governance: Christian nationalism. Christian nationalism is not religious freedom. It is a political ideology that seeks to fuse government power with a single religious identity, elevating one faith above all others and redefining citizenship around belief rather than law. The Constitution was written precisely to prevent this outcome. The First Amendment protects the free exercise of religion by denying the government authority to endorse, promote, or impose it. That boundary has been breached. Federal agencies and senior officials have used official government platforms to advance explicitly Christian nationalist messages—declaring religious doctrine as national identity and framing state authority in theological terms. These are not personal expressions of faith. They are acts of government speech, delivered with public resources and institutional authority. When the executive branch adopts Christian nationalist rhetoric, it transforms religion from a protected liberty into a tool of power. The Founders understood the danger. They rejected religious tests for office. They wrote a Constitution without reference to God. They placed the Establishment Clause first in the Bill of Rights because they knew that once government claims divine sanction, accountability collapses and minority rights disappear. Christian nationalist narratives rely on false history and selective mythology, not constitutional law. Yet those narratives are now being operationalized through government institutions. That is not a cultural dispute—it is a constitutional violation. Congress has a duty to act as a check on executive overreach. You must require the immediate removal of Christian nationalist propaganda from all government-controlled websites and social media accounts. You must conduct oversight hearings to determine how these messages were approved, coordinated, and disseminated. And you must reaffirm, through enforceable action, that no administration may use the machinery of the state to promote religious supremacy. Neutrality is not silence. Inaction signals consent. If Congress allows Christian nationalism to embed itself in government practice, it abandons its role as guardian of constitutional order. The Establishment Clause has no force unless you are willing to enforce it.
