I like reason and I love words. And I love truth!

Thank you @andykimnj.bsky.social from a New Jersey constituent! Thank you for showing up for democracy!
Senator Andy Kim just went to the USAID building, talked to the security guard there to confirm employees are being barred entry, and then did a press gaggle right there in front to call it out.
This is doing something. This is making an effort on messaging. Other Democratic lawmakers: take notes.
