Our government spends about the same on parking lots as it does elections. [1] You read that right. Our elections rank near the bottom in public spending, starving our democracy at the expense of voters like us. Right now, Congress can fix this and provide the funds that state and local officials – Democrats and Republicans alike – agree are urgently needed. They just need to act. Election funding has long enjoyed bipartisan – but...

Los miembros del Congreso deben usar su autoridad para impedir que Trump acepte el avión de lujo de $400 millones que Qatar le está regalando.

La Cláusula de Emolumentos de la Constitución prohíbe a los presidentes aceptar este tipo de "regalos" por razones obvias. El Congreso cuenta con las herramientas para bloquear este soborno, desde modificar proyectos de ley de defensa de aprobación obligatoria hasta detener a los candidatos.

El Congreso debe RECHAZAR este turbio acuerdo aéreo y exigir a esta administración que rinda cuentas por trabajar para Nosotros, el Pueblo, no para el mejor postor.

La administración Trump está ordenando al FBI que relaje su control sobre los delitos de cuello blanco para que puedan centrarse en la cruel agenda de deportaciones masivas de Trump.

No es sólo odioso: es un desvío imprudente de recursos públicos que nos hace a todos menos seguros, mientras la élite adinerada se ríe todo el camino al banco.

El Congreso –y los Comités Judiciales de la Cámara de Representantes y del Senado, encargados de exigir cuentas al FBI– deben investigar este abuso y EVITAR que el FBI siga usando indebidamente su poder.

Trump thought Democrats would cave if he shut down the government. But with your help, we’re proving him wrong. Common Cause members have made thousands of calls urging Democrats to refuse to write Trump the blank check he’s demanding. And it’s working, with seven Senate Democrats voting differently than they did in March – and nearly every Senate Democrat rejecting Trump’s budget. That’s no small thing. But Trump is betting the longer this drags on,...

Members of Congress must defend our First Amendment rights.

We urge you to speak out against Trump and Miller’s dangerous National Security Presidential Memorandum on Countering Domestic Terrorism and Organized Political Violence (NSPM-7), pass legislation to defend the First Amendment, and investigate these dangerous abuses of power.

We cannot let this administration silence the American people.

Thank you for refusing to parrot Trump and Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem’s partisan shutdown propaganda.

We need more leadership like this – and less complying in advance with Trump’s dictator-like demands. We urge you to hold firm.

A free, independent media is a First Amendment guarantee that’s essential to democracy – helping expose corruption, hold leaders accountable, and inform the public.

NBC and Comcast must hold firm, defend democracy and free speech, and keep Seth Meyers on the air. Don’t surrender to Trump.

Congress must reject attempts to sneak a dangerous ban on all state-level regulation on artificial intelligence (AI) into the National Defense Authorization Act.

States have stepped up where Congress has failed. A vast majority of states – red, blue, and purple – have passed commonsense protections to make sure ordinary people aren’t left behind or deceived by AI.

Congress should be protecting us against the dangers AI poses – NOT giving Big Tech unchecked power.

Trump has accused multiple Democratic lawmakers of “SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!” – and reshared a post that called for them to be hanged.

These threats on your own colleagues can’t go unanswered. We urge you to condemn Trump’s disgusting rhetoric and make it clear that violence has no place in our politics.

Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are carrying out an ideological purge of our military – and Congress is about to pass a bill rubber-stamping it. They say it’s about “DEI” – but you know that’s just a code word for silencing Black and brown people, and anyone else who isn’t willing to fall in line with their partisan agenda. We need your help to urge Congress not to rubber-stamp Trump and Hegseth’s discrimination agenda. To...
