Today I introduced the No Political Enemies Act, with a powerhouse group of co-sponsors, to put in law protections for prosecution or harassment for political speech.
Trump is shamelessly exploiting the death of Charlie Kirk to try to destroy his opposition. We cannot let him.

#MiamiBeach markets itself as an arts and culture capital… unless the art challenges the status quo. Trying to unconstitutionally cancel a theater for showing #OscarWinner #NoOtherLand isn’t just #censorship … it’s hypocrisy.

We now know UnitedHealth—under Brian Thompson—illegally overcharged cancer patients by more than 1000%.
What we don't know is how many cancer patients died or were financially ruined as a result?
What we demand to know is why that act isn't also deemed murder?
