You must vote against authorizing Trump to go to war with Iran. There is absolutely no justification for another administration to lie us into a Middle East quagmire as Bush did with Iraq. As former military you should respect our armed forces enough not to send them willy-nilly into a war. Trump lied about Iran being an imminent threat to us, they are years and years away from any weapons that…
You need to stand up and oppose all of Trump's military actions against Iran. Remember last summer when he claimed he had "obliterated" Iran's nuclear capacity? Was he lying about that? Why is he launching a military attack now if that was the case? The American people were lied to when the Bush administration told us they would find WMDs in Iraq and the result of billions of dollars wasted and…
Tom Barrett's Newsletter, Friday, February 13, 2026 The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) runs out of money in less than 48 hours. If Congress doesn’t act, the department will be forced to shut down and the consequences will be severe. FEMA will have difficulty responding to natural disasters. TSA will struggle to screen passengers at airports across the country. The Coast Guard will be forced…
Updated 20 September 2026 I am not pretending this list of resources is definitive or even systematic. It is merely a list of resources I have found useful. I will try to keep it updated.

Tom Barrett: Why are you not speaking out about the fact that this coming week, 350,000 legal Haitian immigrants will be targeted by ICE because Trump is taking away their Temporary Protected Status (TPS). These are legal residents, these people have broken no law, these people are universally described by their neighbors and their communities are good, hardworking people simply trying to live the…
After the Civil War the Klan arose. Masked men terrorizing entire communities with violence. The Federal government's troops did their best to curb the cowards murdering people while hiding behind masks. Today, the federal government IS the Klan: cowards murdering people while hiding behind masks. His name was Mathew Allen. Masked ICE agents shot him multiple times while he was surrounded by half…
Senator Slotkin: I want to thank you for your clear statement of the law regarding a soldier's obligation to refuse to follow an unlawful order. It is a disturbing sign of the times that a simple statement of existing law leads to an incompetent President to lash out in such an irresponsible and dangerous manner. Keep on fighting for the Constitution and the rule of law.
Representative Barrett: When you were criticized for reporting minor vandalism to your office as a crime you wrote to me that this was a "straightforward issue of right and wrong." The time is coming very soon for us to see if your commitment to such issues is pure or merely an issue of convenience. I refer to the upcoming House vote on forcing the release of the Epstein files. Here are the public…
Today I received this letter from Representative Tom Barrett: November 6, 2025 "Dear Mr. Jackson, Thank you for contacting me regarding the recent defacing of my congressional office in Lansing. I appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts with me. Vandalizing or defacing private property — with chalk, paint, or something else — is against the law. Beyond that simple fact, every minute…

Since you are holding yourself up as an expert on antisemitism, please answer these questions for me: The International Association of Genocide Scholars recently condemned Israel for committing genocide in Gaza.…
