Get StartedCongress can and must revoke the “emergency” authority Trump has used to impose a massive tariff tax on American consumers and companies, and reclaim its authority to regulate tariffs under the U.S. Constitution. Learn more
Most of the increased demand driving electricity prices up is coming from big AI data centers (with crypto “mining” also contributing). They should either generate their own power, or pay a price that mitigates the higher rates they’ve caused ordinary Americans to pay. Learn more
To lower the price of electricity, we must generate more of it. And virtually all recent additions to the supply of electricity have come from renewables — including solar, wind, and nuclear power — spurred by incentives created by the Inflation Reduction Act. Learn more
Congress should limit the president’s pardon powers to the extent possible under the Constitution, by increasing reporting requirements, creating a non-partisan pardon commission, enacting mandatory minimum sentences for anyone convicted and then pardoned for serious crimes if that person commits a federal crime again, and prohibiting such pardon recipients from obtaining federal employment. Learn more
Congress should also strengthen criminal laws against seeking to buy pardons with campaign contributions or with payments to a president’s businesses. Learn more
Congress should prohibit federal agents from wearing masks, restrict overbearing military tactics and equipment in routine law enforcement operations, and defund any agency that defies court orders or allows politicization of its ranks. Learn more
Members of Congress and senior executive branch officials should be prohibited from trading stocks, or required to place any stock investments in a blind trust. Learn more
Congress should turn the ballroom Trump is building with money extorted from corporations seeking his favor into a museum exploring the meaning and history of the American Constitution and its checks on abuse of power. Learn more
Congress should seek to reinstate and strengthen the independence of the inspectors general charged with rooting out corruption and waste at executive branch agencies, as well as of the Office of Government Ethics. Learn more
Congress should repeal Section 230 for all online content that is amplified by social media algorithms. Learn more
Congress should enact bipartisan legislation that I got through the House in 2022 that would make it harder for foreign kleptocrats to hide their money in the United States and to influence our political system. Learn more
Congress must restore Affordable Care Act tax credits that keep health insurance premiums down for everyone, reverse the Republicans’ cruel cuts to Medicaid, and crack down on insurance company practices that wrongly deny claims or coverage or make care unaffordable. Learn more
To spur competition, Congress should give all Americans the freedom to buy into a public health care plan like Medicare. It should lower prescription drug costs by expanding the number of drugs subject to Medicare negotiation, and cut out middlemen that drive up costs without improving health. Learn more
It should require the digitization of health records — all Americans should have a portable record of all their interactions with the health care system. And it should incentivize new ways of paying for treatments based on outcomes not volume. Learn more
Health care is a human right, and access must be guaranteed. But simply subsidizing a health care system that costs us two or three times more than in any other advanced country will bankrupt America. Learn more
Congress should create incentives to reward state and local governments that enact reforms to increase supply, and decrease the cost, of housing, such as scaling back single family zoning, up-zoning near transit, ending minimum parking requirements, and legalizing accessory dwelling units, eliminate unnecessary red tape, stop private equity firms from buying up apartments, and protect renters from predatory fees and algorithmic pricing. Learn more
Congress should pass Rep. Jamie Raskin’s bill codifying the Constitution’s provision prohibiting presidents from accepting payments from foreign governments while in office and for two years after. It should impose a 100% tax on emoluments currently being received by the president. Learn more
Big companies are making it harder for customers and independent repair shops to get the tools, parts, and manuals needed to fix products people legally own — forcing them to buy new ones or to use expensive services controlled by the original manufacturer. Comprehensive legislation is needed to change this. Learn more
We need more effective legal prohibitions against a president wielding the powers of the federal government to punish speech by private individuals and institutions, whether by threatening to sue journalists, deny federal funding to universities, or regulatory approvals to corporations, or visas to students or visitors to the United States. And we must limit corporate consolidation of the news media. Learn more
Congress must strengthen pro-competition laws and conduct vigorous oversight of enforcement. Learn more
The Trump administration has revoked President Biden’s rules capping bank overdraft and credit card late fees and making it easier for customers to cancel unwanted subscriptions. Congress should codify them into law. Learn more
Congress should pass Senator Whitehouse’s legislation establishing a binding ethics code for the Supreme Court. Learn more
