If this was about helping families, compromise would’ve happened. 🤝 Instead, Americans got a shutdown and a demand to protect a broken system—no questions allowed. 🚫

Stop overfunding Medicare Advantage!

597 so far! Help us get to 1,000 signers!

At tremendous cost to taxpayers and people with Medicare, the government has overpaid Medicare Advantage plans tens of billions of dollars for more than a decade and is projected to overpay them more than $1 trillion in the next decade. Just as the government recoups overpayments to individuals it should be recouping Medicare Advantage overpayments, not rewarding them with greater revenues. In addition to driving up costs for everyone with Medicare, it is eroding the Medicare Trust Fund. I urge you to reduce MA rates to a level commensurate with Traditional Medicare and recoup all overpayments. Thanks!

The Cost of Marijuana Prohibition: Examining Criminal Justice Reform

Disproportionate Incarceration: The criminalization of marijuana has led to a significant number of individuals, particularly from marginalized communities, being incarcerated for non-violent marijuana offenses. This has contributed to the issue of mass incarceration and strained the criminal justice system.

Economic Implications: Enforcing marijuana prohibition incurs substantial costs, including law enforcement resources, court proceedings, and incarceration expenses. Legalizing and regulating marijuana can create new revenue streams through taxation, job creation, and economic growth.

Racial Disparities: Marijuana prohibition has disproportionately affected minority communities, leading to racial disparities in arrest and conviction rates. Criminal justice reform aims to address these disparities and promote equity by reevaluating marijuana policies and implementing fair and just alternatives.

Upgrade the security of electronic benefit cards and protect families in need!

118 so far! Help us get to 250 signers!

I understand that a bipartisan and bicameral group of lawmakers have introduced the Enhanced Cybersecurity for SNAP Act to upgrade the security of electronic benefit cards and protect families in need. I support this bill! To date, tens of millions of dollars in Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits have been stolen by criminals exploiting lax security of SNAP electronic benefit cards. Congress has spent years pressing the U.S. Department of Agriculture to require states to issue cards with secure chips rather than magnetic strips that can be easily cloned by criminals. Despite those requests, USDA has failed to update security regulations for benefit cards. This bill would remedy that. The Enhanced Cybersecurity for SNAP Act addresses fraud by directing the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to update its cybersecurity regulations to ensure SNAP benefits cannot be easily stolen by criminals. It’s a no-brainer—Congress must pass this legislation. Millions of Americans use SNAP to support themselves and their families. With outdated card technology, we are leaving their benefits vulnerable to cybersecurity theft and leaving families at risk of being unable to put food on the table every day. This must change. Thanks.

Wind Energy Market faces the inherent challenges of scaling infrastructure to meet urgent climate targets, yet it continues to deliver impressive results. Addressing grid capacity limitations, financing large-scale projects, and navigating complex regulatory environments are the primary hurdles that the industry is tackling with innovative solutions. Despite these obstacles, the scale of growth is significant: the Europe Wind Energy Market recorded an annual installed capacity of 16.5 GW in 2024 and is estimated to reach a volume of 53.6 GW by 2033 with a CAGR of 14.0%.

Grid modernization is the most pressing technical challenge, as the current infrastructure in many regions was not designed to accommodate decentralized, variable renewable energy inputs. Investment in smart grids, which utilize advanced control systems to manage fluctuating power flows, is critical. By creating a more flexible and responsive grid, operators can better integrate wind energy, reducing reliance on conventional backup plants and maximizing the utilization of clean power generated during peak wind conditions.

Another key focus area is the acceleration of the permitting process. Lengthy administrative procedures have historically slowed down project development. Many countries are now adopting "fast-track" permitting for renewable energy projects, recognizing their status as projects of "overriding public interest." This shift is crucial for achieving the scale required by 2033, as it allows developers to move from the planning phase to construction more efficiently, maintaining the momentum needed to reach capacity targets.
