I've taken a break over here to assess our situation, tally up the still-ongoing vandalism, and move our family into a temporary situation that's safer - but we need help to make a permanent move to a safer environment for our family. Can you help? gofund.me/165ae446
"I want more overdraft fees!" said no American, ever.
Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously.
Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that.

"We'll call the police" is not an acceptable way to address your constituents. It's clear even local @ncgop.bsky.social officials can't be bothered to care about what all of us want - just their wealthy donors and their chosen few.
The hypocrisy has never been clearer.

Multiple times now, since I announced I would run for Congress, my home has been vandalized, tires slashed, etc. Tonight, someone tried to steal & damage pieces of my vehicle.
This accomplishes nothing. We have bigger problems - & that's what I'm here to help call attention to.

Regarding the government's frankly embarrassing cuts to the VA - I have many friends and family members, even neighbors who utilize it. This isn't uncommon - but it's always been understaffed by folks who wanted to make a difference. This won't help.

In 1994 Ukraine signed a treaty to WILLINGLY denuclearize. If we turn our backs on them now - not only will there be a tremendous loss of life, and the potential loss of an ally (certainly the loss of other, larger allies), but the entire world will think twice about a safer tomorrow.

If it's not saving the American people any money on top of the chaos they've thrown our lives into - then there was no point outside of destabilization.
