Restore and Guarantee Support for Ukraine
by Resistbot
Ukraine was invaded. Russia keeps bombing its cities, and ordinary families pay the price. Cutting off military and intelligence support, or threatening to, as leverage over the country under attack puts pressure on the victim instead of the aggressor. That is not neutrality. It is a choice, and it rewards force. If borders can be redrawn by invasion, no ally is safe, and the consequences will not stay in Ukraine. Americans have always said a free people have the right to decide their own future. Ukrainians cannot defend their homes and cities if the tools they rely on are switched off without warning. Every wavering signal teaches Moscow that patience pays and tells our other allies that American backing can vanish. Put the pressure where it belongs: on the invader. Restore full military and intelligence support for Ukraine, and make that support dependable, not a bargaining chip.

Stop ICE's ERO ONE Domestic Surveillance Program

by Resistbot

ICE is building a domestic surveillance program called ERO ONE, aimed at people living on American soil. The Constitution protects us from unreasonable searches. That line should not be crossed in the name of immigration enforcement. ICE already has an investigations unit with a similar function, so the question is plain: who exactly will these new agents be spying on? Mass surveillance does not make communities safer. It chills free speech. It discourages people from lawfully assembling. It builds databases that any future administration can misuse. And the damage to civil liberties lasts long after the political moment that created the program has passed. Neighbors, protesters, and families should not have to wonder whether their own government is watching them. Congress controls the money and the rules for this agency. Block ERO ONE and cut off funding for ICE's domestic surveillance of people on American soil.

Make Supreme Court Ethics Rules Enforceable

by Resistbot

The Supreme Court decides whether you keep your rights. Its justices should answer to ethics rules that someone can actually enforce. Instead, they face allegations of undisclosed gifts and luxury travel from wealthy donors, and of refusing to step aside from cases where they have a conflict. When no one can enforce the rules, the public cannot trust the rulings. Billionaires and corporations with interests before the Court should never be able to buy friendship with the people who judge them. Ordinary people get no such access. They get the verdict. A court with the last word on civil rights, healthcare, and elections must be held to a standard with real consequences. Ethics rules that depend on a justice's own good will are not rules at all. Congress has the power to change that. Pass binding ethics rules for the Supreme Court that require disclosure of gifts and travel and force recusal when a justice has a conflict.
