Please make at least one phone call today to the capital switchboard. 202-224-3121
It is an easy few minutes of effort for People, Peace, and Planet. Real human beings are there to listen to your messages, not email-aggregating AI bots. Ask to connect to the office of Senator Cantwell, Senator Murry, or Representative Larson.
In your own words, tell them that:
- Washington does not want the US to resume nuclear testing
- Washington supports limits and cuts in nuclear arsenals. The U.S. and Russia must renew the 2010 New START commitment, which expires February 5, 2026.
- Washington Supports both H. RES. 100 and S. Res. 61 –
“Expressing support for the continued value of arms control agreements and negotiated constraints on Russian and Chinese strategic nuclear forces.”
Pramila Jayapal and Adam Smith are co-sponsors from Washington State.
Ask Rick Larsen to do the same. Call the office, or write to him online, call him at (202) 225-2605, or mail a letter to 2163 Rayburn HOB, Washington, DC 20515.
Some Backstory:
President Trump dropped a bomb and announced in early November that “Because of other countries testing programs, I have instructed the Department of War to start testing our Nuclear Weapons on an equal basis. That process will begin immediately.”
In point of fact, the U.S. has not conducted a nuclear test since 1992, China and France last did so in 1996, and the Soviet Union in 1990.
Trump’s order was widely criticized by nuclear scientists and nonproliferation experts, who said that Washington had little to gain from live drills, which would likely only embolden Moscow and Beijing.
Either he is not fully cognizant of what this really means, or he just does not care. Sen. Ed Markey coined the term ‘Trumpatomics’ to characterize this new directive.
Pete Hegseth, everyone’s favorite Guantanamo Bay Alum and, ‘Secretary of War’ apparently lives in an alternate reality where nuclear testing makes us all safer. The ‘us’ he refers to are the weapons & petrol-based dollah big C Capitalists.
In the House, Congresswoman Dina Titus of Nevada introduced the ‘Renewing Efforts to Suspend Testing and Reinforce Arms Control Initiatives Now’ (RESTRAIN) Act on October 30, 2025.
“With just 97 days until the only arms control agreement between the U.S. and Russia expires, now should be the time to negotiate further arms-control agreements, not create mushroom clouds in the Nevada desert.” – Dina Titus [NV]
In the Senate, Senator Ed Markey of Massachusetts, a long-time disarmament advocate, introduced legislation ‘To prohibit the use of funds for an explosive nuclear weapons test’ on October 30.
“The No Nuclear Testing Act would use Congress’s power of the purse to deny the Trump administration from restarting nuclear testing. We should not simply ignore the terrible lessons of the Cold War and expose a new generation of Americans to the horrors of radiation sickness. We will not learn anything new about the nuclear stockpile from new tests; we will only endanger our health and security.” -Ed Markey [MA]
