GOOD NEWS: After months of pressure, the admin in DC finally released $300 million+ of the long delayed Hurricane Helene aid funds for GA.
This proves that we can win battles when we raise our voices together.
I will keep fighting until every dollar is released.

Our troops should be able to fix their own equipment.
It's outrageous that swampy corporate lobbyists and the politicians carrying their water stripped our military's "Right to Repair" out of the defense bill.

Right now, greedy defense contractors are blocking our troops from fixing their own equipment.
Congress had a bipartisan plan to fix that, but lobbyists stopped it.
@deluzio.house.gov and I aren't giving up on this. Our troops should have the right to repair their own stuff.

Let's think about why the Russians leaked it and why Trump is pushing for it at this particular moment. Could they think his days in the White House are numbered and they need to grab whatever they can?
