I am tired of seeing tax dollars not going where they're supposed to be going I am tired of not seeing exactly where our tax dollars are going and I'm tired of seeing Myra Fallon cut schools to the point where the entire economy is going to be broken because of lack of Education

The American people have a right to know who has influence with our elected officials and we are all agree that no one, not even President Trump is above the law. Donald Trump’s attorney Michael Cohen has now admitted that he made the $130,000 payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels shortly before the 2016 election. But despite Cohen’s assertions, this admission doesn’t solve the Trump campaign’s legal problems. As Trump’s personal attorney, Cohen was an agent of then-candidate Trump. And his October 2016 payment to Daniels while she was considering going public about her affair with Trump certainly seems like an effort to influence the election in the form of hush money. The law says that any money spent to influence an election on a candidate’s behalf is an in-kind “contribution” to that candidate -- subject to a $2,700 limit and disclosure requirements, neither of which were followed here. That’s why Common Cause has filed official complaints with the DOJ and FEC -- and they must fully investigate whether the hush money paid to Stormy Daniels was an illegal in-kind contribution to the Trump campaign. We deserve to have transparency about how and where money was spent during Trump’s presidential campaign, and we need to hold our elected officials accountable to the law. Michael Cohen -- and anyone else involved in this payment -- must answer questions under oath so we can discover the full truth of what happened. And if Cohen didn’t act alone, and he coordinated this payment with Trump or any other member of his campaign, they must be held accountable for breaking the law as well.

Yes, it is time to move away from careerism for legislators and breathe new energy and perspective into our political landscape.

The Pennsylvania Supreme Court has ruled that our state's congressional district lines are unconstitutional. This is huge! These gerrymandered districts have meant that only three of 18 U.S. House seats are actually competitive, which has made it near to impossible to hold officials accountable when they put big polluters ahead of their constituents. It’s up to the state legislature to get to work creating new maps, but instead, Senate leaders have threatened to take the case all the way to the Supreme Court. Enough is enough. Pennsylvanians deserve to be represented fairly in Congress, and these unconstitutional district lines have denied us that right. Tell Senate President Pro Tempore Joe Scarnati and Senate Majority Leader Jake Corman to let the state Supreme Court ruling stand and to draw new district lines that are fair.

This practice prevents important legislation like DACA and CHIPS from getting a vote even though likely to pass.

Coalitions of Americans have grown movements over the past decade that led to The Resistance. And women of color, who have been at the forefront of social change throughout history, are playing a key role in The Resistance, providing leadership and organizing their communities. The Resistance is a bigger and more influential than the Tea Party ever was, and in 2011, CNN broadcast the Tea Party's State of the Union response to a nationwide audience, saying, "The Tea Party has become a major force in American politics and within the Republican Party." Activists working to change America at the grassroots level should have an opportunity to respond to the President's speech. Movement leaders who have been working in the fights for racial justice, immigration justice, voting rights, LGBTQIA rights, healthcare, economic justice, and more, are ready to respond. The Resistance is not slowing down: millions of women and caring allies marched the day after the President's inauguration in 2017, and record numbers marched across the country again this month. Tell CNN and other networks to air a State of the Union response from The Resistance.

While nearly 60% of Americans believe Trump to be unfit to be President, what is keeping Congress from fulfilling its Constitutional Responsibility to stop a dangerous President is the fact that virtually every Congressional Republican in both chambers continues to ignore and strive to deny the problems and dangers created by this President. They must remember that, while they represent their district or state, in a time of crisis such as today it becomes time to lead, not to follow in order to stay faithful to and to protect our nation. Here is some of the evidence of President Trump’s serious incapacities: • As commander in chief, he is derelict in his duty to lead efforts to protect the nation from serious, extensive, and prolonged cyberattacks by Russia. • He has demonstrated repeatedly that he lacks impulse control; he reacts without hesitation to every perceived insult, large or small, with outrage, vindictiveness, and disdain, without regard to consequences. • As documented by many sources, he makes countless statements that are demonstrably lies. He radically and unpredictably changes his position on issues and policy, making governing impossible.polarizing the nation. • His deep insecurity leads him repeatedly to cultivate support from racist and nationalist individuals and groups. Congress: It is time to act.

The borderlands are my home, which I happily share with members of diverse cultures and with precious threatened and endangered species. I oppose any wall, but to save this precious part of the US, at the very least any wall that is built must comply with all applicable environmental laws.

State Senator David Carlucci has not caucused with Democrats in the senate since he was elected in 2010. Instead he has allied himself with Republicans, allowing the GOP to control the chamber and block or water down all progressive legislation. We voters thought we elected a Democrat but we were wrong. It's up to the leadership of our party now to work seriously to find and support a REAL Democrat to primary Carlucci so Rockland and Westchester voters are not continuing to enable the Trump agenda in New York by sending a turncoat to the senate.

Americans deserve better than pissing contests in Congress. We need to have our voices heard and those elected officials need to hear us. Until there is an amicable solution US House and Senate should not be paid for their lack of cohesion and work. Stop their pay over first.

These branches of government are paid during shutdowns because they are considered “essential”, but the impact is felt by “non-essential” civil service workers and the military. It also effects programs that serve and support low-income families and their healthcare. I believe that the politicians need to feel the impact of their decisions. I realize that career politicians are generally wealthy enough that they won’t really feel it, but their immediate staff will.

Yes. I have been discriminated against and told that I could not hold a higher position if I got pregnant. Passage of this amendment would make it illegal to discriminate due to pregnancy - per the constitution.
