Sample: Our Republican Senator is Complicit in the Signal Leak
To the Editor,
On March 24, the Trump administration’s top officials were exposed for leaking U.S. war plans in a Signal group chat—one so reckless it included a journalist by mistake. That same day, the U.S. Senate confirmed one of Trump’s top State Department nominees.
My Senator, [SENATOR NAME], voted to confirm that nominee.
Let’s be clear: This wasn’t business as usual. This was complicity in a national security crisis.
When Trump’s Cabinet leaks war plans and Republicans rush to confirm his loyalists anyway, it’s not just dangerous—it’s disqualifying. We need our representatives to protect our country, not cover for chaos.
[SENATOR NAME] owes us answers. And if they won’t stand up to this administration, voters will have to stand up to them.

Sample: Our Senator is silent about Trump's war plan leak—why?
Editor,
The Trump administration recently leaked sensitive U.S. war plans. This alarming breach of national security demands immediate accountability. Yet, my Senator remains conspicuously silent. Worse, they continue to support the administration's agenda, including confirming loyalists like Christopher Landau as Deputy Secretary of State—a position critical to our foreign policy and national security. This complicity endangers us all. We need leaders who will hold the administration accountable, not ones who turn a blind eye to reckless endangerment of our nation's safety.

Sample: Trump's leaked war plans and our Senator's complicity
The recent leak of U.S. war plans by the Trump administration is a glaring indictment of its incompetence and recklessness. Despite this, my Senator continues to support the President's decisions, including the confirmation of Christopher Landau as Deputy Secretary of State. Landau, previously U.S. Ambassador to Mexico, is now elevated to a role central to our nation's diplomacy. By endorsing such appointments amidst blatant security failures, our Senator is complicit in jeopardizing our national safety. It's time for accountability and a reevaluation of where their loyalties lie.
