- Demand that our House Representative, Eli Crane, insist that the House Ethics Committee release its report on Matt Gaetz ASAP!! Gaetz has been under investigation by the House Ethics Committee since 2021. House investigators looked into allegations including sexual misconduct and illicit drug use, sharing inappropriate images or videos on the House floor, misusing state identification records and converting campaign funds to personal use. Now that Gaetz has resigned from Congress, it is assumed the committee will not release their report. However, it has been done before when a Congressman has already resigned. Matt Gaetz has been nominated by Trump to be the Attorney General – an amazing selection that is being done more to “normalize” insane actions than as a serious nomination. In any case, Senators need the results of the House Ethics Committee investigation to do their job. It is essential that our Representative work to have this report released ASAP!! (Additionally, call the Ethics Committee phone number, provided below, and tell them the same thing!!)
- Insist that our Senators work very hard to get as many vacant judge positions filled NOW!! There are 29 judicial nominees awaiting Senate confirmation. We have to act urgently to confirm as many judges as possible. President Biden and the Senate have confirmed 215 judicial nominees so far – the majority of these were women and people of color, increasing the racial diversity of the federal courts. The Senate needs to be creative in their efforts, whether its working weekends or staying late, judges MUST be a priority. Over the next four years, roughly 250 circuit and district judges may become eligible to be replaced. This is our last chance to act to confirm judges who will help protect our fundamental rights and serve as the last line of defense to uphold our nation’s laws and the Constitution. In addition, Senator Joe Manchin has had a practice of NOT approving judicial nominees unless at least one Republican also supports that nominee. This mini-filibuster practice of Senator Manchin’s MUST stop and he needs to join his fellow Democrats to get these nominees confirmed!! His contact info is listed below. Our Senators AND Senator Manchin MUST make judicial confirmations an absolute priority in the months ahead!!
