ICE isn’t just losing support; it’s imploding under its own cruelty, incompetence, and Kristi Noem’s vanishing act, leaving America questioning who the real threat is.

Text SIGN PGNDZS to 50409 — President Donald Trump has launched a new “Gold Card” immigration program that allows wealthy foreign nationals to seek expedited U.S. residency by paying a nonrefundable $15,000 DHS processing fee and—after background checks—a $1,000,000 payment to the federal government. A corporate version requires $2,000,000 per sponsored employee, along with ongoing maintenance and transfer fees. The program’s own website promises residency “in record time,” reportedly within weeks. That fast lane is unavailable to families, workers, and asylum seekers who wait years in backlogs or face aggressive enforcement. This is not immigration reform; it is a two-tier system that favors wealth over fairness. The Trump regime has described the million-dollar payments not as visa fees or investments, but as “gifts” to the government. That framing raises serious constitutional concerns. Congress—not the executive branch—controls how federal money is raised and spent. Rebranding seven-figure payments as “gifts” appears designed to sidestep congressional authorization and appropriations law, turning residency into a revenue stream created by executive decree. Legal experts have also warned that the program may lack a lawful foundation. U.S. immigration categories are established by statute, and creating a new visa pathway—especially one offering expedited residency—normally requires an act of Congress. Proceeding without clear legislative approval invites court challenges, policy reversals, and instability for applicants and the immigration system alike. The regime claims the Gold Card will help U.S. companies retain global talent. But the United States already has legal pathways for extraordinary ability, researchers, and executives. What is broken is not the absence of talent visas, but congestion, caps, and unpredictable processing. The Gold Card does not fix those failures; it sells a bypass around them to those who can afford it. Congress must immediately exercise oversight of this program, demand its legal justification, and block any implementation that bypasses statutory immigration law. American residency and citizenship are civic commitments—not luxury goods for sale to the highest bidder.

Text SIGN PELAKZ to 50409 — With enhanced ACA premium tax credits set to expire at the end of this year, millions of Americans are facing catastrophic premium spikes—thousands of dollars per month for many families. The Senate is now preparing to vote on extending these credits, a vote forced as part of the agreement to reopen the government. This extension is essential, and I urge you to support a clean renewal of the ACA premium tax credits without delay. Unfortunately, Senate Republicans have now introduced the Crapo-Cassidy bill as their counterproposal. While marketed as a plan to address premium spikes, the bill is filled with provisions that would dramatically restrict access to both abortion and gender-affirming care, and would destabilize health coverage nationwide. These provisions must not become bargaining chips in any negotiation. The Crapo-Cassidy plan: • Replaces ACA premium subsidies with small HSA deposits that do nothing to offset real premium increases. • Bans HSAs from covering gender-affirming care for people of any age. • Strips gender-affirming care from the ACA’s Essential Health Benefits, allowing insurers to drop coverage entirely. • Bans Medicaid from covering gender-affirming care, cutting off the only affordable option for many low-income trans Americans. • Includes new abortion-related restrictions, embedding an ideological agenda inside what is supposed to be a health-care affordability bill. These provisions have no place in must-pass health legislation. They are not about solving premium spikes—they are part of a long pattern of attempts to weaponize health policy against transgender people and those seeking reproductive care. Similar riders appeared in earlier GOP proposals, in shutdown negotiations, in defense bills, and even in the so-called “big beautiful bill.” Each time, these attacks have been rejected. They must be rejected again. We should not allow Republicans to hold affordable health care hostage in exchange for stripping medically necessary care from entire groups of Americans. Gender-affirming care is life-saving and recognized as medically necessary by every major U.S. medical association. Abortion care is essential health care. No extension of ACA subsidies should be conditioned on denying people the care they need. Congress must act now to prevent a nationwide premium crisis and protect millions of families from financial devastation. A clean extension of the enhanced ACA tax credits is the only responsible path forward. I urge you to: 1. Support a clean, immediate renewal of ACA premium tax credits. 2. Oppose the Crapo-Cassidy bill and any health-care proposal that includes restrictions on abortion or gender-affirming care. 3. Reject all attempts to use transgender health care or reproductive rights as bargaining chips in essential health-care negotiations. Affordable health care should not be a battlefield for ideological attacks. Protect the ACA. Protect families. Protect medically necessary care for every American.

Text SIGN PXLQMD to 50409 — I am writing to ask you to prohibit Medicare Advantage and traditional Medicare from using Artificial Intelligence to make prior authorization decisions. This includes practices by current Medicare Advantage insurers, and the planned Medicare pilot program of the so-called “WISeR” model, designed to reduce the provision of medications and services in the future. Don’t allow Artificial Intelligence to review treatments prescribed by human doctors, using their medical degrees, expertise, and clinical judgment. A recent Senate subcommittee report on the use of AI to make prior authorization decisions points to serious concerns. During the period that UnitedHealthcare, Humana, and CVS adopted AI tools, denials of authorization increased by 54% to 108%, depending on the insurer. For instance, between 2020 and 2022, when it first started using AI, UnitedHealthCare more than doubled its denials of post-acute care such as rehab facilities and nursing homes. Physicians, too, are speaking up. A 2024 AMA survey of 1,000 physicians (including 400 Primary Care Physicians and 600 specialists) found that 61% reported that the use of AI increases denials and harm to patients, and 49% ranked AI-based authorization decisions as one of the top three priorities for health legislation. Medicare Advantage’s use of AI resulted in sharp increases in delays, denials, and lawsuits, and the upcoming pilot program for traditional Medicare puts more patients at risk. Don’t let CMS sell out patient care to AI corporations. Thank you for helping to safeguard Medicare to provide the best of care for our nation’s seniors and people with disabilities.

Text SIGN PZJRYG to 50409 — No more cover-ups Release the files, release the footage. It's time to release the Epstein files. Is Congress going to shield pedophiles or stand with the targets? Release the footage of the boat bombing on September 2. Let Americans deserve see for themselves whether the two shipwrecked sailors were actually a danger. If what Hegseth's no quarter order was legal, he should release the film. We need to see. If extra-judicial murder or a war crime was committed, then all in the chain of command need to face consequences. You work for us. We the people have had enough of lies, concealment, manufactured crises, and flouting the rule of law and the constitution. The longer the delay in releasing the Epstein files and the September 2nd footage, the stronger the impression of high crimes. Please, do your job and remember: your oath is to the constitution and you should be honored to serve your constituents. Don't let history remember you as feckless enablers.

In a speech on Saturday, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth defended the strikes, saying: "President Trump can and will take decisive military action as he sees fit to defend our nation's interests."

Text SIGN PODPRK to 50409 — The Trump Regime has released a National Security Strategy that is not a strategy at all, but a racist, authoritarian manifesto—and the most dangerous official document issued by an American administration in generations. It openly embraces white supremacy, attacks our democratic allies, aligns with the Kremlin’s worldview, and lays the groundwork for domestic repression reminiscent of the autumn of 1938. The NSS warns that Europe faces “civilizational erasure” because several NATO countries may become “majority non-European.” This is not coded language. It is the Great Replacement conspiracy theory written into U.S. national policy. It applauds “patriotic European parties,” meaning extremist, neo-fascist movements like Germany’s AfD. It calls for the U.S. to “cultivate resistance” inside allied democracies—an explicit program for regime change in Europe. Trump’s hatred of Europe is ideological. Europe still clings to democratic norms—free expression, rule of law, pluralism—precisely the values MAGA is trying to destroy at home. And the NSS now redefines U.S. foreign policy around racial purity and “national identity,” rather than democratic alliances. The damage is already visible. The Kremlin publicly celebrated the NSS as aligned with Russia’s aims. Trump’s envoys have pushed Ukraine to cede territory without meaningful security guarantees, advancing Putin’s war goals. Allies have begun withholding intelligence because the U.S. can no longer be trusted. At home, the NSS cannot be separated from the mass-deportation campaign, troop deployments in American cities, the gutting of counterterrorism capacity, and the rise of ICE as a de facto national police force. Historians have warned that this moment resembles autumn 1938, when mass deportations produced an act of desperation that the Nazis exploited to justify a national pogrom and consolidate authoritarian power. We are witnessing the same pattern. After troops were deployed to American cities—labeled “war zones”—a traumatized refugee, failed by our immigration system, committed a horrific act. The Trump Regime immediately seized on the tragedy to escalate militarized crackdowns and blame entire communities. Scholars call this self-terrorism: provoking instability and then exploiting the resulting violence to entrench authoritarian rule. Meanwhile, Silicon Valley billionaires—who resent EU regulations on monopoly abuse, AI harms, and digital hate speech—have become Trump’s enforcers against Europe. The NSS reads as if co-authored by white supremacists, Steven Miller, and tech oligarchs who believe democracy is an obstacle to profit. This racist vision is not just immoral—it is strategically suicidal. By attacking Europe, Trump weakens the only alliance capable of balancing China, and he emboldens Russia, the “assassin on Europe’s doorstep.” He is choosing white supremacy over actual national security. Congress must treat this NSS for what it is: a blueprint for dismantling the democratic world America helped build after 1945, and a roadmap to authoritarianism at home. You must respond—with investigations, public hearings, funding restrictions, and unequivocal repudiation. We are not yet past the point of no return. But the echoes of 1938 are sounding. You cannot ignore them.
