Text SIGN PCVMRH to 50409 — Measles. Since 2020 (when there were fewer than 15 cases of measles in the US), measles has risen by over 14,000 percent. As of this week there are over 19,000 cases this year. People have died. Others will be left with life-changing effects. Let me remind you: measles can cause lifelong brain damage, intellectual impairment, deafness, infertility, even death. It also erases a person's prior immunity to other diseases. And it is one of the most infectious diseases, vastly more infectious than Covid. The US had been on the cusp of being measles-free. No more. I am outraged that one of the richest nations on earth has poorer health and longevity statistics than many nations that spend far less on health. Congress: you own this measles epidemic: you confirmed RFK Jr. Now he wants to spread his death dealing pseudo science to infants by making hepatitis B vaccine optional. That will have devastating effects, raising infant mortality and adult grave liver disease. I demand that you serve us, the people and stop being a sycophant to Trump and his death-dealing policies and appointees. Please support Haley Stevens' articles of impeachment for RFK Jr. Please use your platform to speak publicly to encourage vaccine uptake. Use all the tools at your disposal to fund and promote vaccinations for childhood diseases. Congress owns the measles epidemic. It is a stain on your record and should weigh on your conscience. The Trump-GOP-MAGA measles epidemic shows culpable contempt for human life. Yes: it is depraved heart murder. DO SOMETHING. IMPEACH RFK jr

Text SIGN PVDVSY to 50409 — I am writing today with a simple and urgent request: every member of Congress, regardless of party, must publicly affirm a principle that is foundational to military discipline, American law, and the Constitution—U.S. service members must refuse illegal orders. This rule is not partisan. It is not new. It is not controversial in any professional military context. It is the law. Last week, several veterans now serving in Congress released a short video reminding service members of their oath and this long-standing legal requirement. Senator Mark Kelly—retired Navy captain, combat veteran, and former astronaut—participated in that message. His statement merely repeated what is written plainly in the Uniform Code of Military Justice and the Army Field Manual: following unlawful orders is not a defense, and troops are expected to refuse them. Despite this, the Pentagon announced it is “investigating” Sen. Kelly, citing the ability to recall retired service members for disciplinary action. It is extraordinary for the Department of Defense to target a sitting senator over a lawful, accurate statement of military obligations. Constitutional scholars across the political spectrum have already warned that using military recall authority in this way risks violating the separation of powers and legislative independence. Meanwhile, the President escalated the rhetoric by accusing the lawmakers of “sedition” and reposting calls for them to be put to death. These comments were so concerning that congressional leaders contacted law enforcement to ensure members’ safety. Regardless of party, this is not the direction our country should go. Sen. Kelly responded by reaffirming his lifetime of service and stating that he would not be intimidated from doing his duty. His message was not about politics—it was about the rule of law. That is why Congress must step forward now. If only one or two members defend the principle that illegal orders must be refused, they become isolated targets. But if Republicans and Democrats alike make the same statement, it becomes what it truly is: a shared commitment to lawful military conduct and constitutional government. This is not about opposing any President. It is not about second-guessing policy. It is about ensuring that our military—as an institution—remains grounded in legality, order, and discipline. Every member of the armed forces, from the newest recruit to the highest-ranking officer, benefits from clear expectations and a united message from civilian leadership. When future crises come—and they always do—the stability of our country will depend on Congress speaking with one voice on this basic point: American service members must obey lawful orders, and they must refuse unlawful ones. Supporting them in that duty is not partisan—it is patriotic. I urge you to join your colleagues in affirming this essential principle publicly and without hesitation.
