Trump and his Administration are targeting me because I said something they didn’t like — but here’s the thing: I won’t be intimidated into silence. I’ve overcome challenges a lot tougher than Donald Trump or Pete Hegseth.

Trump's economy is a failure. It demonstrates his commitment to greed and grift rather than the well-being of our country. While billions are sent to Argentina and opulent parties are thrown, American families suffer.
I urge the U.S. Supreme Court to stand up for the rule of law.

The “SAVE” Act has already passed the House. It would disenfranchise millions of legal U.S. citizens from voting. This is the real goal of the GOP.
