As I was saying….
You won’t get back the hours of your life spent watching folks on TV talk about Trump’s trials and how he was finally gonna be held accountable. Or how DOJ was gonna save the day. Trump was NEVER gonna be held accountable. The system was designed to help men like him go free.

Others are… a little outside the box.

Since Matt Gaetz resigned from Congress, I’ve been fielding a lot of calls and support to run for the seat he’s vacated.
While I deeply appreciate the support, Gay Valimont ran a solid campaign against Gaetz this cycle and is best positioned to run in the special election.
