I waitress while I run for Congress. I know what it’s like to stretch a paycheck, juggle bills, and still show up for your community.

Washington needs more people who live like us — not just talk about us.

Derrick Van Orden talks the talk. I'll walk the walk.

I honestly can't believe elites are spending any time tsk-tsking protesters for their behavior when this is happening. There's nothing left other than taking to the streets to stop this.
BREAKING: A few minutes ago, a vehicle of three people was rammed by a truck belonging to federal immigration authorities in Boyle Heights, CA. According to security footage shown to me, they deployed chemical munitions & detained the driver at gunpoint. All are US citizens according to the wife.

Let's start inundating the press with complaints about biased coverage. Clog up their phone lines and message boards.

If you are a musician, and your label lets you, please get on Bandcamp or Itch. I LIKE buying music directly. If I stream an album more than a few times and it's on Bandcamp, I'm buying that sucker the next Bandcamp Friday.

I am not alone in this!

Every single Democratic senator voted to confirm Marco Rubio.
Rubio terminated 5800 USAID contracts – more than 90% of its foreign aid programs – in defiance of the courts.

Here’s a list of just some of the lifesaving awards that were terminated. Nearly all were Congressionally mandated. They’ve saved millions of lives. 🧵

I find it easy to shop only local today, I know it's not easy for everyone to do this. I realize I don't need Amazon, Walmart or Target AT ALL ANYMORE. Forever. This might not be for everyone, but it can be done. More to go. One step at a time.

So true.

Pavlo Makov, a modern Ukrainian artist:
'It is difficult to explain to the world,
which lives in the environment of russian culture,
reads Dostoevsky,
and admires russian art,
that russians are imperialists and barbarians
who commit terrible crimes in Ukraine...'

If you're looking for details for your calls, House Dems produced this tool where you can how many people in your district are at risk of losing jobs, health care, and food on the table from the House GOP budget.

"For the sake of the X people in CA-54 who will lose their Medicaid, please vote no."
