I studied the century-old Posse Comitatus Act in law school. The law, which President Trump violated, is designed to protect American civilians and service members. Again, we see this Administration engaging in ILLEGAL acts that threatens our security as a nation.

The FTC has voted in favor of adopting a historic ban on noncompete agreements
The agency has said that the agreements, in which workers are forbidden from seeking a job with a competing business for a certain period of time, lead to an “unfair method of competition” and violate federal law

The FTC Just Banned Noncompete Agreements And It's A Huge Deal
Commissioners approved the historic regulation on the grounds that noncompetes stifle competition for workers. A legal challenge is all but certain.

Proud to be the 1st Alexandria City Council candidate to sign American Promise's pledge to fight for campaign finance reform.
Having worked at all levels of governments, I've seen how big money poisons the political discourse; elected officials should work for voters, not their donors.
