  • Save the Department of Justice and our democracy from Russian Influence
    In this time of our ongoing cyber-war with Russia in which Russia is actively hacking our voter rolls and manipulating social media to create dissension in our country to weaken our democracy, it is especially important that the director of the criminal division of the Department of Justice HAVE NO CURRENT OR PREVIOUS TIES TO RUSSIA. In light of all his multiple Russian related investigations currently underway, for Trump to nominate Brian Benczkowski, a man with strong ties to Russia,** is a suspicious decision. To approve him would be unwise, unsafe, and compromise the independence of the Mueller investigation. IT THEREBY RISKS THE FUTURE OF OUR DEMOCRACY. ***Note the following suspicious connections and concerns regarding Benczkowski, as well as Benczkowski’s cavalier and reckless responses when asked about issues related to the Mueller investigations: 1. Benczkowski worked on the Trump campaign and transition from September 2016 to January 2017. 2. Benczkowski admits to representing Alfa Bank, one of Russia’s largest financial institutions with purported ties to Putin, in their effort to sue BuzzFeed over publishing the Trump-Russia dossier. 3. Benczkowski represented Russia's Alfa Bank until June 6 — the day he was formally nominated to lead the Justice Department's criminal division, even though Attorney General Jeff Sessions first approached him about the Justice Department position in April. 4. Benczkowski's additional work for Alfa Bank "went to the heart of the reported [FBI] investigations" (per Diane Fienstein) into the bank's involvement in unusual computer server activity with the Trump Organization during the election. 5. Alfa Bank's server repeatedly looked up the contact information for a computer server being used by the Trump Organization [during the election] — far more than other companies did, representing 80% of all lookups to the Trump server." Mr. Benczkowski said the bank hired his firm, Kirkland & Ellis, after additional odd data transmissions were detected in February and March, and that he oversaw an American computer security company’s work analyzing that traffic. Asked why he did not also have the firm look at data reaching back to last fall, Mr. Benczkowski disclosed that Alfa Bank had not retained its server traffic data from September to January because it was too voluminous. 6. After he found out about his potential nomination in April 2017, he continued his representation of Alfa Bank until his actual nomination in June 2017. 7. Diane Feinstein stated that it was "clear" to her that Benczkowski had knowledge of issues related to the ongoing investigation and therefore asked him if he would commit to recusing himself from cases involving Alfa Bank and matters involving Special Counsel Robert Mueller's probe into Russia's election interference. Benczkowski would not commit to recusing himself.

  • Confront Facebook on Russia
    I'm angry and feeling complicit myself as we all see the choices Facebook has made, yet continue using and supporting them day after day. I think at the very least we should consider a three-day moratorium.

Sign our petition to make Congress see that Science Makes America Great!

  • Repeal the century-old "Jones Act" for Puerto Rico
    With hurricane Maria's devastation of Puerto Rico, the Jones Act does hurt recovery and the rebuild effort. Written 100 years ago, it does not apply to todays circumstances. The infrastructure of the Electric grid and the Puerto Rican debt is caused by this act. Its time to behave like its 2017 and not 1917. Make the change now and do what is right by the elimination of the Jones Act and our U.S. Territory for our Puerto Rican Families.

  • Congress: Cancel Puerto Rico's debt now!
    Last week, Puerto Rico survived the worst hurricane it's experienced in almost a century. This climate catastrophe has taken a toll on the island -- entire towns are flooded, potable water and other essential resources are running out, and it's predicted the island will be without electricity for months. Mainland Puerto Ricans haven't been able to communicate with their loved ones, and many are still being rescued. This is a humanitarian crisis that's being made worse by a deepening economic crisis. Hedge fund billionaires own much of Puerto Rico's debt -- they've been pushing for painful austerity measures while pressuring Puerto Rico to continue borrowing from Wall Street. These hedge funders have contributed nothing to the Puerto Rican people and are only interested in using the island as an ideal tax haven. Puerto Ricans are hurting. Those on the island are being made to suffer through no fault of their own while hedge funders profit from our pain. This is a crisis and Congress cannot wait to take action. While our representatives decide on passing an aid bill, they must take action to forgive Puerto Rico's debt once and for all. Join me today in demanding that Congress cancel Puerto Ricans and stop the continued abuse by hedge fund vultures by forgiving Puerto Rico's debt.
