What people are acting on now
AI data centers and local power bills
Large AI data centers can bring jobs and computing capacity, but they also raise questions about electricity demand, water use, land use, tax incentives, and whether local households or businesses could carry any costs. This page tracks related bills and lets you tell officials what tradeoffs you want them to consider.
Immigration Detention Conditions
Federal legislation and oversight related to conditions in immigration detention, including health and safety standards, facility inspections, contractor accountability, family detention, legal access, and protections for vulnerable people in custody.
Microplastics
Tiny pieces of plastic now show up in drinking water, food, the air, and the human body. Scientists are still learning what they do to our health, and there's no standard federal test or limit for them. Congress can fund research and testing, set rules on plastic pollution, and decide how microplastics in water, food, and products are regulated.
Oil companies covering climate damage costs
Boulder, Colorado, and Boulder County sued ExxonMobil and Suncor to help pay for local costs they tie to climate change, including wildfire prevention and road repairs. The companies argue federal law blocks the case. The Supreme Court heard arguments Oct. 5 on whether the lawsuit can continue; that hearing did not decide who owes money. Congress could also set rules on whether oil companies help cover climate damage.
Taxpayer-funded Trump ads
DHS set aside $20 million for an ad campaign featuring President Trump, and nearly $12 million worth had aired as of Oct. 7. After criticism from lawmakers in both parties, Trump said future versions will be paid for by his political operation. Asked whether taxpayers would be reimbursed for what's already aired, he said, 'We'll decide.' Some lawmakers and legal experts question whether the ads break limits on using federal money for propaganda or political purposes. Congress controls DHS funding and can investigate whether that money was used legally.
FBI looking into anti-ICE protesters
Jill Fields, a former FBI supervisory intelligence analyst, has filed a whistleblower complaint alleging that the White House and senior Justice Department officials pressured the FBI to investigate Los Angeles protesters because of their anti-ICE activity. She says FBI staff warned that some of the requested investigations would violate the First Amendment and agency rules. The White House disputes this and says agents targeted criminal activity, not protected speech. Sen. Alex Padilla, who received the disclosure, is asking DOJ and the FBI for records. Congress can investigate and change the safeguards around political interference, whistleblowers, and FBI investigations.
