I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath.
I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.

Trump's FBI pick Kash Patel just disclosed holding $800,000 worth of stock in Trump Media & Technology Group.
Reminder that Patel also has compiled an "enemies" list that is identical to Trump's.
Does anyone actually believe he won't be a loyal cog in Trump's vengeance machine?
