Look folks, if you want to grow the economy you can either increase productivity or increase the size of the population. The Trump Administration is trying to shrink the population via a campaign of terror against immigrants and killing productivity gains via defunding science and unis.
"In 2023, the economy added 3 million jobs. In 2024, still under Biden, it added 2.2 million jobs. In 2025, under Trump, it added just 181,000 jobs. This is a story about an economy getting throttled by one man and his capricious, destructive governance."

Guess how many Republicans demanded justice for Epstein survivors, held Bondi accountable, and did not let her use their time to personally attack Democrats?

The numbers don’t lie. Does the president?
In 2024, Trump promised to create “millions and millions of blue-collar jobs and jobs of every type.”

If Trump’s goal was to do maximum damage to the United States in the least amount of time, how would his actions be different?

I had a great time yesterday visiting Gather to Grow in Lewiston! Gather and Grow had been operating for over 20 years and feeds over 500 families per week. Specifically, they have been a stand out in supporting our immigrant neighbors and recognizing the intersection between food and justice.

With the estimates that our government is purchasing up to 26 warehouses to potentially hold human beings in, it begs the question who will these people be?

Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."

Leslie Wexner is one of the 10 co-conspirators named by the FBI during the 2019 arrest of Epstein.
He gave Epstein millions of dollars and the $70 million NYC townhouse.
Leon Black gave Epstein over $170 million.
Both men are alive.
How come they've never been asked to testify?

Our DHS reform demands are exceedingly reasonable.
We're asking ICE to do nothing more than follow the standards that the vast majority of law enforcement agencies already follow.
Republicans, the ball is in your court. The clock is ticking.
