I'm glad my Congresswoman is taking the lead on this. Others can let their representatives know to support the effort. Protecting our privacy is a part of protecting our democracy.
Earlier today, I announced an effort to reform the Privacy Act, the 51-year-old law that protects Americans’ privacy from government abuse.
But I’ll need your help. We’re going to protect our privacy, together.
Let me explain why this effort is so important.

Opinion | On November 5th, voters gave Donald Trump an overwhelming mandate to seize Gaza, Greenland, and the Panama Canal while passing off domestic control to Elon Musk. Why is this so hard for the Left to understand?

For context, Russ Vought, the OMB nominee, told Congress he believes he is allowed to not spend appropriated fund regardless of the law banning impoundment. The Senate should not confirm someone promising to engage in illegal executive aggrandizement.

Canadians are so influenced by the story America tells about itself that we don't know our own history, which is linked from the beginning with their history. We are on the margins of an empire, so this is normal. 1/x
