Other countries have found it. Ours is too afraid to even fund the research.

Secretary Noem has forfeited her right to lead. I’m calling on her to resign.

Gregory Bovino must also be fired.

No one, not an ICE agent, not a federal officer, not a president, is above the law.

We need to shut it down. Anyone who supports funding DHS and ICE is an accomplice to the murder of Americans.

This is about right and wrong, and murder is just plain wrong.

No funding for DHS. No funding for ICE. We can stop this.
