First and foremost, we need to unmask ICE agents and require them to identify themselves at all times in marked federal vehicles. We cannot have a masked secret police force causing terror in our communities. We must hold ICE accountable for their actions. Beyond that, we must strengthen the opportunities for career workers to earn their citizenship after years of building our economy. Finally, we must stop pulling people out of their immigration hearings while they are in the process of earning their citizenship legally.
Tariffs can be a useful tool when it is in a targeted and decisive way. The current sweeping tariffs are nothing more than insider trading on a national level. They announce tariffs, people sell out of fear, the wealthy buy low. They announce there is actually not going to be a tariff, people buy in again, the wealthy double their money. Repeat until they make billions. Then when the tariffs do stick, the consumer is burdened with the additional costs of importing materials and goods. We must reign in the current sweeping tariffs before the working class is further harmed financially.
My biggest concern is the monopolies in every single industry. Prices don't go down because prices are controlled by the same companies "competing" against themselves. The shell company game allows them to pretend the market is competitive until you zoom out and see every industry is owned by 3-5 major companies. We must break up monopolies and give capitalism a chance to correct itself with true competition. Smaller businesses cannot compete when they can be bought out entirely the moment they start to impact the bottom line of corporate giants.
The government needs to ensure universal free healthcare. Healthcare is a human right. We need to stop negotiating with health insurance companies and star putting hard caps on goods and services at the hospital level. We also need to ban for-profit hospitals who thrive on overcharging by thousands of times the actual cost of the service. If health insurance wants a seat at the table at that point, they will have to give consumers a reason to keep them. Also, all non-fraudulent health insurance claims should be legally required to be approved at all times.
We are seeing first hand that checks and balances only exist when everyone in power is not complicit. Congress needs to invoke the 25th amendment and remove the entire administration at this point. We especially need to remove multiple supreme court justices who have proven they serve Trump over our constitution. There must be ethics requirements to ensure there is no corruption in our justice or legal system. If they violate the law, they are removed from office pending investigation. Not the other way around.
The U.S. is not the police force of the world. When it comes to protecting allies, we should absolutely support them. When it comes to invading other countries for resources, it should not even be an option. Climate issues are a neutral belief that ensures the future of humanity, and it is important to work together with other countries to set pollution standards. With that being said, there is far too much suffering in our own country to be so focused on others when there is so much work to do at home.
AI needs to be thoroughly and absolutely regulated. Not only does it harm the environment more than any other industry, it will result in millions of people losing their jobs. We cannot allow this technology to go unregulated. Social media is also a concern, it can severely harm the development of children. Whether it is bad examples for them to follow, drastically decreased attention span, or massive damage to self esteem, it must be controlled. Limited usage hours and reinforcing age requirements should be a universal guideline.
There is no reason why the government should be actively discriminating against its citizens. The transgender athletes they talk about? There are less than 10 in the entire US. The whole "bathroom laws" supporters have clearly never seen a person who has transitioned. I think any laws related to "let me see your genitals" should be widely banned. If anything it just causes more distress and harm in every single aspect. All humans deserve human rights.
We need to overturn citizens united and ban lobbying. The oil industry donates so much that all other renewable energy is shut down so they can keep profits. I believe in using parking lots as solar farms. It would not only provide shade to all vehicles parked there, it would generate energy for entire communities. We can also start investing into geothermal energy. Which uses the same skill set and equipment as the oil industry, while being far more renewable and safe for the environment. Finally, we need to stop the misinformation about renewable energy.
Affordability for groceries and housing. I believe in giving grocery stores tax incentives to donate food they would otherwise throw away. I also believe in banning corporations from buying and renting single family homes. We also need rent control for all rental dwellings. As well as $20,000 first time homebuyer credits. We need to bring back the American dream of owning property. Real estate monopolies are in the way of doing that.

I believe America needs an immigration system that is orderly, humane, and aligned with economic reality and human dignity. I support modernizing visa programs to meet workforce needs, reducing backlogs through better technology and staffing, and creating a pathway to legal status for long-term undocumented residents who work, pay taxes, and obey the law. Border security should rely on smart, evidence-based enforcement that combats trafficking and fentanyl while honoring asylum obligations.
I believe Congress has a constitutional responsibility to oversee tariffs and trade policy in a way that protects consumers, workers, and businesses. Tariffs should be used strategically, not as political tools, because poorly designed tariffs raise prices, disrupt supply chains, and hurt small businesses. I support Congress reclaiming its oversight authority, requiring transparency, and evaluating economic impacts before tariffs are imposed or expanded. Trade policy should promote fair competition, defend labor and environmental standards, and strengthen alliances.
I am concerned that too many Americans are working harder while falling further behind due to rising costs, wage stagnation, and economic uncertainty. Housing, healthcare, food, and energy prices are squeezing families and small businesses. Congress should focus on lowering costs by strengthening competition, cracking down on price gouging, and investing in affordable housing and infrastructure. I support policies that raise wages, protect workers’ rights, and support small businesses, not monopolies.
I believe the federal government has a responsibility to ensure all Americans have access to affordable, high-quality healthcare and that public health systems are prepared for emergencies. I support protecting coverage for preexisting conditions, lowering prescription drug prices, strengthening Medicare and Medicaid, and expanding access to mental and preventive care. Public health policy must be guided by science and insulated from politics. Stable funding is essential for disease prevention, emergency response, and community health.
I am concerned that our justice system too often produces different outcomes based on race, wealth, or political influence. I support addressing sentencing disparities, reforming cash bail, and investing in public defenders to ensure fair trials. Transparency and accountability in federal law enforcement are essential, as is protecting civil rights. I will defend the independence of the judiciary and oppose political interference in prosecutions. Justice should focus not only on punishment but also on fairness, rehabilitation, and restoring public trust.
I believe the United States should lead through diplomacy, strong alliances, and principled engagement. On territorial conflicts, I support upholding international law, respecting sovereignty, and pursuing peaceful resolutions while standing with democratic partners. Climate change and global health are shared challenges that require cooperation, not isolation. I support U.S. leadership on climate action, pandemic preparedness, and humanitarian assistance, recognizing that global instability ultimately affects American security and prosperity.
I believe Congress must establish clear guardrails for artificial intelligence and social media to protect privacy, safety, and democracy while encouraging innovation. AI systems should be transparent, accountable, and free from bias, particularly in healthcare, employment, housing, and criminal justice. I support requiring social media platforms to protect children, safeguard user data, and address disinformation. Regulations should emphasize consumer protection, algorithmic transparency, and national security without restricting free speech or technological progress.
I believe Congress has a responsibility to protect the civil rights, safety, and dignity of LGBTQ+ Americans, including transgender individuals. I support enforcing anti-discrimination laws in employment, housing, healthcare, and education, and I oppose legislation that targets or marginalizes people based on identity. Medical decisions should remain between patients, families, and healthcare professionals—not politicians. Equal protection under the law is a constitutional principle, not a special privilege.
I believe America needs an energy strategy that is reliable, affordable, and environmentally responsible. I support investing in a diversified energy portfolio that includes renewables, energy efficiency, grid modernization, and responsible domestic production. Clean energy lowers long-term costs, creates jobs, and strengthens energy independence while reducing pollution and health risks. Protecting the environment and growing the economy are not competing goals.
I believe affordability will be one of the most pressing challenges facing the next Congress, including housing, healthcare, childcare, education, and everyday costs. I support strengthening competition, protecting workers’ wages, expanding affordable housing, and investing in infrastructure. Protecting democracy is equally critical, including safeguarding voting rights, election security, and ethical standards for public officials. Restoring public trust requires transparency, accountability, and bipartisan problem-solving.
