We face a clear and urgent choice this year. We can take back the House and put an end to Trump’s agenda, or we can give him two more years to govern by cruelty, division, and abuse of power. There is no middle ground, and no illusion about what’s at stake.

REMINDER: The minority party has very little leverage. Their main job is to make the *political case* for why you should vote them into power next election. So when people say, “Why aren’t they doing anything” that signifies an overestimation of what they can actually do.

Excellent question. 🤨
When will Republicans, veterans organizations, & retired military officers speak up about this? No president in the history of the Republic has done this. Yet Trump, Vance, & Hegseth do it constantly. It betrays the most important core value of our military-no partisan politics.

We must never normalize these ongoing attacks by DHS agents on the people they supposedly protect.
Trump, Vance, Miller, & Noem have created a culture of impunity that has led to rampant abuse and killings.
Not one more dime for this lawlessness.
