No New DHS Secretary Without Stopping ICE Terror Text SIGN PYZUIY to 50409 — Please oppose the confirmation of Markwayne Mullin and any other DHS official and do everything in your power as a senator to stop them from moving forward until the White House accepts significant, enforceable restraints on ICE and CBP. Kristi Noem’s tenure as Secretary of Homeland Security was marked by state violence against the public, intentional cruelty against our neighbors, and contempt for our fundamental values, basic rights and the very idea of accountability. Her removal was long overdue, but no one is fool enough to believe this administration is actually changing course. The terrorizing of our communities by masked thugs and the lawless abduction of our friends into a detention camp archipelago is Trump policy, and it will go on as they think they can get away it, under Mullin as it was under Noem. Immigration enforcement must be brought back into the bounds of the Constitution, public safety and common decency. As polling bears out, this is not a radical or unreasonable position, and we will not accept anything less. Our demands include: · Repealing the $75 billion slush fund for ICE and $65 billion slush fund for CBP · Significant reductions in funding for detention and removal · Ending family detention · Addressing the overcrowding, unsanitary conditions, lack of adequate food and medical care at detention facilities · Securing access to counsel and due process for those held in detention facilities · Transparency at detention facilities and meaningful, enforceable penalties for obstructing congressional oversight · Allowing state and local governments to keep detention facilities out of their communities · Limiting the use of guns and military equipment by ICE during civil actions and codifying a clear use-of-force standard for ICE and CBP agents · Restricting Border Patrol activity to the border and getting them out of our cities · Congressional investigations of every ICE and CBP agent who has broken the law and every death in their custody · Required federal cooperation with state and local investigations into their misconduct · Ending qualified immunity for ICE and CBP agents · A restoration of the Bivens remedy, allowing us to file suits for damages against ICE and CBP agents violating our civil rights · Banning immigration agents from wearing masks and requiring they display clear identification · Banning immigration agents from conducting arrests or home searches without judicial warrants · Banning ICE or Border Patrol enforcement at schools, day cares, hospitals, houses of worship, courthouses and other sensitive locations · Banning ICE and CBP from targeting people based on race, language, accent, place of employment or location at time of apprehension – no more Kavanaugh stops · Meaningful, enforceable penalties for violation of these bans · The removal of Deputy Chief of Staff and Homeland Security Adviser Stephen Miller, Border Czar Tom Homan, Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons and Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Rodney Scott from their jobs These are the changes we need at the Department of Homeland Security, not a different signature on the secret memos. What is happening right now is not normal. It is a threat to our freedom and our very lives. It is the responsibility of our elected officials to use whatever leverage is available to them to stop it. Do not squander it.

Vote NO on Markwayne Mullin: following the law is not optional Text SIGN PRFAKL to 50409 — Markwayne Mullin lacks the character and the experience to serve as secretary of homeland security. His past conduct in Congress -- including challenging a witness to fight in the chamber -- shows a grave lack of self control and respect for rules and norms. He is also saliently unqualified on the basis of experience, education, credentials and track record as well as lacking good character. Recall that he has repeated Noem’s statements that protesters in Minnesota are “highly paid professional agitators and anarchists"-- a blatant lie. The American people repudiate lying in public office; someone who condones lying about the victims of ICE's extrajudicial executions should have no place in that agency. Let me also remind you that Mullin voted AGAINST the release of the Epstein files because he said he wanted to "give them cover." This statement combined with other evidence of his unsuitable character should exclude him from any cabinet office. You know that the Epstein files released so far reveal a trafficking, abuse, and pedophile network so extensive that it has been characterised as a crime against humanity. An elected servant of the people who does not stand on the side of justice and equality before the law should have no place at the head of a federal agency. IN short: Mullin lacks character, integrity, credential, and relevant experience: he should NOT be confirmed. Please vote NO. I ask you to block his confirmation. If his nomination goes forward, insist on all democratic conditions to rein in ICE until such time as it can be dissolved. Please use all the tools at your disposal to expose his record and hold him to account; block or delay his appointment. Remove Stephen Miller, too. A U.S. govt agency that violates the law, the constitution, court orders, international standards on treatment of detainees and rules on the use of force has no legitimacy.

Oppose Joint Resolution to Nullify Grand Staircase-Escalante Management Plan Text SIGN PNWBTA to 50409 — I urge you to vote NO on Senator Mike Lee's joint resolution to nullify the Bureau of Land Management's management plan for Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument. This resolution represents a dangerous misuse of the Congressional Review Act that would erase years of collaborative work and set a destructive precedent for public lands management nationwide. The management plan being targeted was finalized in January 2025 after years of public input, tribal consultation, and scientific review. It governs the fully restored 1.9-million-acre monument that President Biden reinstated in 2021. The plan prioritizes conservation science, protects globally significant fossil beds, limits new mineral leasing, and formalizes a larger role for tribal co-management. Local leaders, communities, tribal nations, scientists, and experts invested substantial time and expertise to develop this framework for one of the most scientifically and culturally significant landscapes in the United States. Overturning this plan would remove critical protections for some of the most astounding fossil beds in our country and eliminate safeguards for areas sacred to local tribes. The consequences extend far beyond this single monument. Under the Congressional Review Act, if this resolution passes, the BLM would be permanently barred from issuing another rule that is "substantially the same" in the future. The agency could never restore a similar management framework for Grand Staircase-Escalante. The broader implications are equally alarming. Using the CRA to attack land use plans establishes a precedent that puts every similar management plan at risk on federal lands across the country. These plans typically do not go through formal rulemaking procedures and have never been considered "rules" under the CRA. Critically, CRA actions cannot be challenged in court, meaning there would be no legal remedy if this extensively researched plan simply disappears with a majority vote. This coordinated effort by Representative Celeste Maloy and Senator Mike Lee threatens to dismantle protections built through legitimate public processes. I ask you to stand with science, tribal sovereignty, and responsible land stewardship by voting NO on this resolution.

Demand OMB Release Appropriated Science Funds and Hold Vought Accountable Text SIGN PYTADC to 50409 — I am writing to demand immediate congressional action to force the Office of Management and Budget to release science funding that Congress has already appropriated. While Congress rejected the Trump administration's proposed 30% cuts to federal research and development in favor of a 4% reduction for fiscal year 2026, OMB Director Russel Vought has weaponized bureaucratic mechanisms to achieve those cuts anyway through invisible impoundment that violates the Impoundment Control Act. The National Institutes of Health, the world's largest public funder of biomedical research, has awarded just 30% of its usual volume of new research grants this fiscal year. The National Science Foundation, responsible for a quarter of all federally supported basic research, saw grant awards plummet by approximately 25% before receiving authorization to spend in mid-February. OMB has placed unprecedented restrictions on ten specific science programs, including critical Earth-science satellites and missions to Venus, halting them until agencies justify their existence to political appointees. This bureaucratic asphyxiation is causing a brain drain crisis. More than 10,000 Ph.D.-trained STEM and health experts left the federal government in 2025, with departures outpacing hiring by 11 to 1. We have lost more than 106,000 years of federal service experience. Our best scientists are leaving for other countries because they cannot conduct research without funding. Congress controls appropriations, but Vought has modified the Budget Bible, Circular A-11, to bypass your legislative intent. This is not just a procedural violation. It is undermining American scientific leadership, threatening public health research, and forcing critical laboratories to close. I urge you to take immediate action to compel OMB to release all appropriated science funds, hold Russel Vought accountable for violating the Impoundment Control Act, and restore congressional authority over the budget. More than a quarter of our workforce is employed in STEM fields. We cannot afford to lose this generation of scientific talent and research capacity.

Censure & Remove Sheehy, Gonzales, Lee. Stop bringing disrepute Text SIGN PGJCIG to 50409 — Get our legislative branch's house cleaned up. Today Senator Sheehy of Montana left the floor to ASSAULT a veteran who was exercising his first amendment right. We have heard too much about Rep. Gonzales of Texas, his adulterous affair, and the tragic death of his mistress. And what about Brian Lee of Florida who broke the rules by voting on behalf of absent colleagues. These GOP are committing crimes and misdemeanors and should be censured and made to to down. Tolerating their malfeasance to maintain a narrow and precarious majority is despicable. It is clear that the GOP has no standards or decency or respect for the rule of law, both inside the Capitol and beyond. Speak out. Show an example. Exclude those who bring Congress into disrepute.

Oppose the Stop the Sexualization of Children Act Text SIGN PBHFEP to 50409 — I urge you to oppose the Stop the Sexualization of Children Act, which would impose sweeping restrictions on educational materials in federally funded programs serving students under 18. This legislation functions as a federal book ban that threatens academic freedom, limits access to medically accurate health information, and marginalizes LGBTQ students. The bill prohibits federal funding for any program containing materials it defines as sexually oriented, including any content involving gender dysphoria or transgenderism. This viewpoint-based restriction would force schools to remove contemporary literature, health education resources, and any materials acknowledging LGBTQ identities. Students would lose access to books addressing their lived experiences and medically accurate information about human development. The legislation creates an arbitrary and inflexible canon of permissible works by referencing specific publications from 1990 and 2019. Only materials listed in the second edition of Great Books of the Western World, two particular articles by Thomas Purifoy Jr. and Mary Pierson Purifoy, and the 2019-2020 Smarthistory AP Art History guide would qualify as acceptable classic works. This approach excludes decades of significant literary and artistic contributions based solely on publication dates and the preferences of particular anthologists. The bill incorporates definitions from federal criminal statutes originally designed for child pornography prosecutions, conflating legitimate educational content with criminal conduct. Teachers providing standard health education could face impossible compliance burdens and potential legal jeopardy. No enforcement agency, compliance procedures, or cost estimates are specified, leaving schools without guidance on implementation. Educational institutions should not be forced to choose between comprehensive, inclusive education and federal funding. This legislation would create educational disparities, chill legitimate instruction, and deny students access to information they need to understand themselves and their world. I ask you to oppose this bill and protect students' right to access diverse, accurate educational materials.

Oppose Markwayne Mullin's Nomination for DHS Secretary - Unfit Text SIGN PWUPCV to 50409 — I am writing to urge you to oppose the nomination of Rep. Markwayne Mullin to serve as Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security. While Mullin has served in Congress, he’s no better and in some ways worse than Kristi Noem. His record demonstrates a pattern of impulsive behavior and policy positions that raise serious concerns about his fitness to lead an agency responsible for national security, disaster response, and immigration enforcement. We don’t need another thug in that office. Mullin's temperament is particularly troubling for a cabinet-level position requiring diplomatic skill and measured judgment. He has a documented history of confrontational behavior in congressional hearings, including telling Rep. Ben Ray Luján to "shut up" during committee proceedings and engaging in heated exchanges with expert witnesses. Most recently, he attempted to physically fight Teamsters President Sean O'Brien during a Senate hearing, requiring intervention from other Senators. This lack of self-control is incompatible with leading an agency that manages complex crises and coordinates with international partners. His legislative record also raises questions about his commitment to protecting vulnerable populations. In 2013, Mullin voted against renewing the Violence Against Women Act due to provisions protecting LGBTQ individuals. For an agency that oversees immigration enforcement and refugee resettlement, this vote suggests a willingness to exclude certain groups from protection based on ideology rather than security needs. Furthermore, Mullin's characterization of the Trail of Tears as "the volunteer walk" on Fox News demonstrates either a troubling ignorance of American history or a willingness to distort it for political purposes. While he later expressed regret for imprecise language, this incident reveals a casual relationship with historical facts that is dangerous in a position requiring accurate intelligence assessment and public communication during emergencies. The Department of Homeland Security requires leadership that combines strategic thinking, diplomatic skill, and respect for all Americans. Mullin's behavior and record suggests he lacks these essential qualifications. I urge you to oppose his nomination. Thank you.

Public Safety above Corporate Profits Text SIGN PRGQJL to 50409 — I'm writing because I'm deeply concerned about policies that put profit ahead of public health and human safety. I ask you to: Dissolve ICE and limit CBP to border protection only. End private detention contracts and stop profiting from immigrant detention. Put a stop to the purchase of warehouses across the country for the creation of more detention centers. Our tax dollars are quickly being used to purchase these properties at wildly inflated prices. Massive profiteering appears to be happening throughout DHS and our government while inflicting cruelty and harm to oftentimes innocent people without due process. The murders and abuse perpetrated by ICE and CBP must be addressed and those responsible must be prosecuted. Dissolve the massively corrupt Board of Peace and force the return of contributions to the Board of Peace. One of the goals of this Board is to turn Gaza into a Riviera of the Middle East. Any such efforts to interfere with and to steal and profit from the destruction of Gaza by our government must be stopped. End mass surveillance contracts. Protect Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security and remove barriers that keep people from receiving care. Restore environmental protections and hold polluters accountable. Reject corporate immunity deals that block Americans from seeking justice when they're harmed. Support legislation to overturn Citizens United and get dark money out of politics. Public policy should protect people, not expose them to harm while corporations profit. It is beyond time to push through the Impeachment/Removal process to remove this President and his corrupt administration. He and his cabinet are destroying our country bit by bit everyday and is profiting from this unconstitutional pillage and plunder and cruelty. This administration must be held accountable and forced to repay our country for every unconstitutional, illegal, immoral action they have taken against us. Please tell the Representative/ Senator that their constituents are paying attention and expect action. Thank you.

Military Zealotry: Stand on Separation of Church and State Text SIGN PWTGXX to 50409 — U.S. military personnel are being told the current conflict with Iran is part of “God’s divine plan,” and that the President has been “anointed by Jesus” to carry it out. Multiple reports and complaints from service members show commanders have invoked biblical prophecy and Armageddon to frame military operations, representing a profound ongoing violation of the constitutional principle separating church and state. Our military exists to defend the Constitution, not to wage wars justified by any particular religious doctrine. The United States is home to people of many faiths and no faith at all. Our armed forces reflect that diversity — a diversity and freedom our Founding Fathers enshrined into the constitution. When leaders present military actions as part of a Christian prophecy, they undermine the religious freedom of service members and erode the legitimacy of the chain of command. This is not simply inappropriate rhetoric. It’s wildly dangerous. The core issue here isn’t religion. The U.S. has always had religious politicians. The real danger is apocalyptic belief mixed with command authority. Think about the chain of command: - one officer - giving orders - to soldiers who feel they cannot refuse If that officer believes a war literally fulfills prophecy, rational restraint disappears. Compromise disappears. Nuclear escalation becomes “God’s will.” That’s not politics anymore. That’s a crusade. The founders knew this. That’s why the First Amendment built a firewall between church and state. Not because they hated religion, but because they understood something brutal about human nature: give someone divine justification and a sword, and they will use both. I implore you to investigate these reports and reaffirm that U.S. military policy and decision-making must remain firmly grounded in constitutional law and democratic oversight — not some religious zealot prophecy. The founders understood the risks of mixing religious authority with state power. That principle is not optional. It is fundamental to the survival of our democracy.

Oppose HR7661 - Stop the Sexualization of Children Act Text SIGN PLAVZX to 50409 — I am writing to urge you to oppose the Stop the Sexualization of Children Act, HR7661, which would impose unprecedented federal content restrictions on educational institutions serving students under 18. This legislation specifically targets transgender individuals by prohibiting federal funding for any program containing materials involving gender dysphoria or transgenderism, threatening educational quality, constitutional protections, and student wellbeing. HR7661's explicit prohibition on content related to gender identity would erase transgender students from curricula entirely and eliminate access to medically accurate information about their own experiences. This targeted exclusion contributes to isolation and harm for vulnerable youth who already face disproportionate rates of bullying, depression, and suicide. The bill forces schools to choose between serving all students equitably and maintaining federal funding. The legislation incorporates criminal law definitions from 18 U.S.C. Section 2256(2), originally written for child exploitation prosecutions, to evaluate educational materials. This conflates educational appropriateness with criminal conduct and could expose educators to legal jeopardy for standard instruction. The viewpoint-based restrictions on content involving gender identity raise serious First Amendment concerns about government censorship of educational speech. HR7661 creates an arbitrary list of permissible materials by referencing specific publications from 1990 and 2019, excluding contemporary literature and diverse voices. Schools would face massive compliance costs reviewing curricula and library collections without federal guidance, as the bill designates no enforcement agency and establishes no compliance procedures. Educational institutions in your district need the flexibility to provide age-appropriate, medically accurate instruction that serves all students, including transgender youth. I ask you to oppose HR7661 and protect the ability of local educators to make curriculum decisions based on student needs rather than discriminatory federal content mandates.

Congress Must Block DOJ Efforts To Stall Bar Discipline Of Its Attorneys Text SIGN PKYOMG to 50409 — CONGRESS MUST PREVENT THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT FROM DELAYING INDEPENDENT ETHICS INVESTIGATIONS As your constituent, I urge you to oppose the Department of Justice proposal that would allow the Attorney General to ask state bar authorities to pause disciplinary investigations of DOJ attorneys while the Department reviews those allegations internally. Allowing a federal agency to delay independent ethics investigations of its own lawyers raises serious rule-of-law concerns and risks weakening public confidence in the fairness and integrity of the justice system. CONGRESS HAS ALREADY REQUIRED FEDERAL LAWYERS TO FOLLOW STATE ETHICS RULES Congress addressed this issue directly through the McDade Amendment (28 U.S.C. §530B), which requires federal government attorneys to comply with the same state laws and professional conduct rules that govern every other lawyer practicing in those jurisdictions. Congress enacted this statute specifically to ensure that federal prosecutors remain subject to independent state bar oversight when they appear before courts governed by those ethical standards. Weakening or delaying that oversight would undermine the statutory framework Congress deliberately created to protect the integrity of the legal profession. THE DOJ PROPOSED RULE CONFIRMS THAT STATE BAR INVESTIGATIONS COULD BE DELAYED The Department’s proposal appears in a Department of Justice proposed rule published for public inspection in the Federal Register, which describes a process allowing the Attorney General to review misconduct allegations against DOJ attorneys and request that state disciplinary authorities pause their investigations. The proposal explains that the Attorney General may request that a state disciplinary authority “defer its investigation pending completion of the Department’s review.” Allowing a federal agency to delay independent ethics investigations into its own attorneys raises significant concerns about independence and accountability. REPORTING IN THE NEW YORK TIMES UNDERSCORES THE POLICY’S CONSEQUENCES As reported in “Trump Justice Dept. Seeks to Stall State Bar Discipline of Its Lawyers,” The New York Times, March 4, 2026, the Department is seeking authority that would allow it to intervene when bar associations begin disciplinary investigations of federal attorneys. Allowing federal agencies to delay outside disciplinary investigations creates the appearance that government lawyers may receive protections unavailable to other members of the legal profession. CONGRESS MUST DEFEND PUBLIC TRUST IN THE JUSTICE SYSTEM Public confidence in federal prosecutions depends on the assurance that government lawyers are subject to the same independent ethical oversight as every other attorney. Allowing federal agencies to delay state disciplinary investigations would create a troubling precedent in which government lawyers receive protections unavailable to the rest of the legal profession. Congress enacted the statute governing federal attorney ethics and retains clear oversight authority over the Department of Justice. CONGRESS SHOULD TAKE IMMEDIATE OVERSIGHT ACTION I urge you to take the following steps: (1) Publicly oppose the proposed DOJ rule allowing the Attorney General to request suspension of state bar disciplinary investigations. (2) Conduct oversight hearings examining the legal basis and potential consequences of this proposal. (3) Affirm through legislation, if necessary, that federal government lawyers remain fully subject to independent state bar oversight as required by federal law. Thank you.

Our demands include: · Repealing the $75 billion slush fund for ICE and $65 billion slush fund for CBP · Significant reductions in funding for detention and removal · Ending family detention · Addressing the overcrowding, unsanitary conditions, lack of adequate food and medical care at detention facilities · Securing access to counsel and due process for those held in detention facilities · Transparency at detention facilities and meaningful, enforceable penalties for obstructing congressional oversight · Allowing state and local governments to keep detention facilities out of their communities · Limiting the use of guns and military equipment by ICE during civil actions and codifying a clear use-of-force standard for ICE and CBP agents · Restricting Border Patrol activity to the border and getting them out of our cities · Congressional investigations of every ICE and CBP agent who has broken the law and every death in their custody · Required federal cooperation with state and local investigations into their misconduct · Ending qualified immunity for ICE and CBP agents · A restoration of the Bivens remedy, allowing us to file suits for damages against ICE and CBP agents violating our civil rights · Banning immigration agents from wearing masks and requiring they display clear identification · Banning immigration agents from conducting arrests or home searches without judicial warrants · Banning ICE or Border Patrol enforcement at schools, day cares, hospitals, houses of worship, courthouses and other sensitive locations · Banning ICE and CBP from targeting people based on race, language, accent, place of employment or location at time of apprehension – no more Kavanaugh stops · Meaningful, enforceable penalties for violation of these bans · The removal of Deputy Chief of Staff and Homeland Security Adviser Stephen Miller, Border Czar Tom Homan, Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons and Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Rodney Scott from their jobs These are the changes we need at the Department of Homeland Security, not a different signature on the secret memos. What is happening right now is not normal. It is a threat to our freedom and our very lives. It is the responsibility of our elected officials to use whatever leverage is available to them to stop it. Do not squander it.

Oppose DOJ Rule Delaying State Bar Ethics Investigations Text SIGN PSVHLX to 50409 — I am writing to urge you to oppose the Department of Justice's proposed rule under Docket No. OAG199, which would allow DOJ to delay state bar ethics investigations into its own attorneys. This rule would require DOJ to review state bar complaints against its attorneys first and request that state bars suspend their investigations until DOJ completes its internal review. State bar discipline is fundamentally different from internal DOJ review or congressional oversight because it attaches directly to an attorney's license. An attorney can leave a job or outlast an administration, but a state bar complaint follows their law license permanently. State bars operate independently, outside the chain of command, and don't report to DOJ or the White House. This independence is precisely what gives them power as a check on attorneys acting in the name of the federal government. Delay is not neutral in oversight processes. When investigations are delayed, they lose momentum, witnesses become harder to reach, and evidence becomes neglected or ignored. The attorney in question stays active and insulated during the critical window. A complaint that takes three years to investigate doesn't have the same impact as one that takes six months. Even if state bars retain final authority, the damage occurs long before any final decision is made. The proposed rule applies to allegations tied to a DOJ attorney's official federal duties. While DOJ claims this doesn't strip state bars of authority, the delay itself undermines accountability. This creates a procedural choke point that sounds reasonable on paper but makes consequences structurally impossible to deliver on time. I ask that you publicly oppose this rule and submit comments to Regulations.gov under Docket No. OAG199 before the 30-day comment period closes. I also urge you to encourage your constituents to submit their own comments on this docket. Independent oversight of federal attorneys is essential to maintaining the rule of law, and this rule would fundamentally weaken that oversight.

Support for Statewide Expansion of the Blue Envelope Program in Minnesota Text SIGN PTDQOG to 50409 — I am writing to express my strong support for the expansion and standardization of the Blue Envelope Program across Minnesota. This simple, cost-effective initiative has demonstrated meaningful results in improving safety and communication during traffic stops for individuals with autism spectrum disorder, developmental disabilities, hearing impairments, and other communication challenges. The Blue Envelope Program works by providing drivers with a distinctively colored envelope to hold their license, registration, and insurance documents. The exterior includes a checklist that allows drivers to communicate — without speaking — that they may need additional time, patience, or a different style of interaction. Officers trained in the program recognize the envelope as a signal to respond with greater understanding and flexibility. While some Minnesota communities have already adopted local versions of this program, there is currently no statewide standard. A patchwork of local programs means that many Minnesotans — particularly those in rural areas or smaller communities — have no access to this resource at all. Standardizing the Blue Envelope Program statewide would ensure that every Minnesotan, regardless of where they live, can benefit from safer law enforcement interactions. The case for this program is compelling: • Safety for all parties: Clear communication reduces the risk of misunderstanding or escalation during what can be an already stressful encounter. • Low cost, high impact: The program requires minimal resources — envelopes and officer training — yet produces significant benefits for vulnerable community members. • Bipartisan support: Legislation supporting Blue Envelope Programs has been introduced at the federal level with broad bipartisan backing, reflecting the universal appeal of safer, more humane community policing. • Proven track record: Programs operating across nearly 30 states have been praised by both law enforcement officers and the families they serve. I respectfully urge you to support legislation or policy initiatives that would: 1. Establish a statewide Blue Envelope Program administered through the Minnesota Department of Public Safety or a comparable agency; 2. Fund officer training on disability-aware communication as part of the program’s rollout; and 3. Make enrollment free and voluntary, with no registry or data retention requirements. Every Minnesotan deserves to feel safe during an encounter with law enforcement. The Blue Envelope Program is a proven, practical step toward that goal. I hope you will champion this effort on behalf of your constituents. Thank you for your time and for your service to our state.

Demand OMB Release Appropriated Science Funds and Hold Vought Accountable Text SIGN PYTADC to 50409 — I am writing to demand immediate congressional action to force the Office of Management and Budget to release science funding that Congress has already appropriated. While Congress rejected the Trump administration's proposed 30% cuts to federal research and development in favor of a 4% reduction for fiscal year 2026, OMB Director Russel Vought has weaponized bureaucratic mechanisms to achieve those cuts anyway through invisible impoundment that violates the Impoundment Control Act. The National Institutes of Health, the world's largest public funder of biomedical research, has awarded just 30% of its usual volume of new research grants this fiscal year. The National Science Foundation, responsible for a quarter of all federally supported basic research, saw grant awards plummet by approximately 25% before receiving authorization to spend in mid-February. OMB has placed unprecedented restrictions on ten specific science programs, including critical Earth-science satellites and missions to Venus, halting them until agencies justify their existence to political appointees. This bureaucratic asphyxiation is causing a brain drain crisis. More than 10,000 Ph.D.-trained STEM and health experts left the federal government in 2025, with departures outpacing hiring by 11 to 1. We have lost more than 106,000 years of federal service experience. Our best scientists are leaving for other countries because they cannot conduct research without funding. Congress controls appropriations, but Vought has modified the Budget Bible, Circular A-11, to bypass your legislative intent. This is not just a procedural violation. It is undermining American scientific leadership, threatening public health research, and forcing critical laboratories to close. I urge you to take immediate action to compel OMB to release all appropriated science funds, hold Russel Vought accountable for violating the Impoundment Control Act, and restore congressional authority over the budget. More than a quarter of our workforce is employed in STEM fields. We cannot afford to lose this generation of scientific talent and research capacity.

Prepare now to counteract voting interference. Text SIGN PILUYK to 50409 — State & local officials should be preparing now to counteract probable Federal (i.e. Trump) interference with the 2026 midterm elections. A not all inclusive list would be things like enacting laws prohibiting turning over voter rolls to the Federal government, laws against the presence of ICE or demonstrations within 100 yards of polling places, limits on the number of “observers “, strengthening current laws to protect mail in voting or against more difficult id requirements, allowing folding chairs for disabled or older voters waiting in line. As I said, those are not all the preparations, they may vary by state. We must protect the ability of people to vote!

No Trump “emergency” to take control of voting!! Text SIGN PIVOPS to 50409 — Apparently Trump is considering declaring some kind of “emergency” to try to get control of the 2026 midterm elections. The only “emergency” would be a personal one as he is worried about losing one or both houses of Congress. This would be a complete violation of the constitution as each state is responsible for conducting their own election. His aim of course is to stay in power and to continue his historically corrupt and dangerous ways. He must be stopped in order to keep America a democracy.
