Text SIGN PRWICJ to 50409 — Please do not tolerate any incitement of violence by your colleagues. A senator who incites violence, jokes about it, or jokes about or celebrates a political assassination needs to be censured and removed. Standards matter. We are moving to a terrifying world of stochastic violence and domestic terrorism. No elected officials should normalise political violence. Mike Lee's tweet shows colossal bad judgement; at the least, it is an attempt to gin up partisan hatred. Let me quote a news item about it: "Utah Republican Mike Lee has come under fire for labelling the suspected Minnesota 'assassin' as a 'Marxist', while sharing a chilling image of the masked perpetrator. He posted: "This is what happens... When Marxists don't get their way," alongside a photo of alleged killer Vance Boelter, 57, dressed in a white vinyl mask and imitation police uniform knocking on the door of a Minnesota senator." If Lee does not understand why his comment is inappropriate and harmful, then he should be censured, counselled, and removed. I ask you to stop all business in the senate now, and until Lee has been censured & Kristi Noem faced the consequences for enabling an assault on Senator Padilla.

Text SIGN PCANGC to 50409 — As your constituent, I urge you to do everything in your power to prevent war on Iran. First, I ask you to demand Trump seek authorization under the War Powers Act before taking any military action against Iran. Second, please sign onto Senator Tim Kaine’s war powers resolution or Representative Thomas Massie and Rep. Ro Khanna’s similar war powers resolution in the House. Their efforts could be the difference between diplomacy and disaster. We must stop the escalation now. No one—and I mean no one sane—wants war with Iran. Thank you.

Text SIGN PCQLJU to 50409 — The news about the assault on Senator Alex Padilla by federal agents is chilling. Who will be next? What will be next? federal agents just assaulted and handcuffed a sitting U.S. Senator. Here is the account: "Sen. Alex Padilla of California had questions about Trump’s crackdown on his constituents in Los Angeles. So he went to Secretary Kristi Noem’s press conference to ask them. In response, he was violently shoved to the ground face-down, handcuffed, and detained." Congress needs to investigate this immediately. It's time for you collectively to put the brakes on this slide into fascism. This won't stop until you reclaim the power of Congress and say NO to the destruction of the rule of law. Impeach Kristi Noem. Impeach Donald Trump.
