    We’re hearing lots of reports of ICE agents wearing masks, hiding their badges and not identifying themselves while on deportation roundups. Don’t American citizens deserve the right to know who’s knocking on their door?

    Key Tuberville:

    “No,” Senator Tuberville exclusively told Ask a Pol.

    No?

  • “Deep abuse of power," Sen. Cory Booker decries Trump DOJ charging NJ congresswoman
    May 24 2025

    Visit Ask a Pol ~ asking your lawmakers your questions at your US Capitol ~What should we ask Congress next? Let us know!In our latest episode, Ask a Pol asks US Senator — and former Newark mayor — Cory Booker:

    What do you make of these charges President Donald Trump’s Department of Justice dropped on Congresswoman LaMonica McIver (D-NJ)?

    Key Booker:

    “I'm utterly outraged by them. The facts are insane, in my opinion,” Sen. Cory Booker exclusively tells Ask a Pol. “It is a deep abuse of power…

    “Now, the irony of all of that is, if she had assaulted an officer, why was she then invited back in and given a whole tour of the proceedings? None of this points to a fair application of justice. In fact, it points to political prosecution, and that's unacceptable.”

    May 10 2025

    Visit Ask a Pol ~ asking your lawmakers your questions at your US Capitol ~What should we ask Congress next? Let us know!In our latest episode, Ask a Pol asks:

    Do you think it'd be bad for the Republican Party for Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) to run against incumbent Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-GA) for the Georgia Senate seat?

    Key Cramer:

    “It's hard for me to imagine she’d be the best candidate we could put up. That's for sure,” Sen. Kevin Cramer tells Ask a Pol. ”We've been hurt by bad candidates.”*

    *after a week of blistering coverage, on Friday night MTG announced she’s not running for Senate.

    Caught our ear:

    “Being a conservative icon in a gerrymandered congressional district in Georgia is not the same thing as appealing to the diversity of the entire state,” Cramer tells us.

    Curious your thoughts on President Donald Trump and his Republican allies in Congress trying to impeach federal judges?

  • Sen. Cory Booker's town hall goal: shame GOP into voting with Democrats
    Apr 19 2025

    ~ asking your lawmakers your questions at your US Capitol ~

    What should we ask Congress next?Let us know ASAP!

    Ask a Pol asks:

    We’re seeing so many Democrats getting primaried — former Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Rep. Frank Pallone (D-NJ), Rep. Brad Sherman (D-CA), Rep. Jan Schakowski (D-IL), etc. — it just seems like we’ve got a little bit of a Democratic civil war going on?

    Key Booker:

    “I don't know about that,” Sen. Cory Booker exclusively tells Ask a Pol. “I don't know many Democrats in New Jersey that run without somebody primarying them. I don’t think that’s unusual.”*

    *19-term Congressman Frank Pallone is being primaried by investment analyst Katie Bansil. Since first winning in 1988, Pallone’s faced primary challengers in 1992, 2018, 2020 and 2024, according to the New Jersey Globe.

    ICYMI — this Booker interview was first used in a feature for Raw Story, one of Laslo’s wire service clients
