Thank you so much to the Essex Junction voters for trusting and believing in me. I am humbled and excited to get to work!

TY to all the volunteers that wrote postcards, honked and waved, knocked on doors, and donated time, money, and stamps. W/o you, none of this is possible.

One really cool way of making sure American soldiers don't get killed while occupying American cities is to not deploy soldiers to occupy American cities

The President of the United States of America - who is a stunning black hole of sociopathy and malignant narcissism - is emotionally incapable of wishing ALL the people of the United States a Happy Thanksgiving.

Incapable.

Oh and he threatened the lives of Dem legislators this week.

I still can't believe these goddamn fools are trying to get into a patriotism dick measuring contest with a guy who was a combat pilot and an astronaut and space flight commander.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth chastised Sen. Mark Kelly for incorrectly displaying his military uniform medals, not comprehending that photographs reverse images from left to right. Here’s what that says about Joe Biden’s cognitive state.

Comey: "I'm grateful the court ended the case against me, which was a prosecution based on malevolence & incompetence... I was inspired by the career people who refused to be part of this travesty. It cost some of them their jobs, but it preserved their integrity, which is beyond price"

It’s crazy to think about the crimes we’re going to learn about after this regime ends.

We’re already hearing about Watergate level crimes every week. Imagine what will come out after it’s over.

We’re going to need a full accounting of all that’s been done in violation of the constitution.

To everyone saying that people in our military already know not to follow unlawful orders, how do you explain almost 100 civilians murdered on fishing boats in the Caribbean so far?

Huh. Shutdown ends and we immediately get Epstein himself calling out 47 from beyond the grave. Curious.

I understand that any increase in household expenses is unwelcome. I truly appreciate residents' understanding and cooperation as we work to keep Essex Jct's water system reliable, safe, and up to the standards our community expects.

There is a Special Election soon in Tennessee. Why should you care? 🤔

Whoever wins that election will be the DECIDING vote on releasing the E Files. Speaker Johnson might hold off on this vote until AFTER this election.

Senate Dems, do not cave. Ensuring healthcare premiums don’t surge is an 80-20 issue. They want to gut the ACA because their disdain for Obama far outweighs their concern for anyone’s health.

Why do people buy pizza with EBT?

Because cauliflower is five dollars a head and you can buy five pizzas with the same money.

It’s not that folks don’t want to be healthy. They can’t afford to be healthy.

Where's Obama? Stumping for Democrats in two key races in Tuesday's elections.
Where's Trump? Hosting a Halloween party while tens of millions loose their food stamps. And golfing.
Obama’s stumping for Democrats. Trump’s at Mar-a-Lago.
"If you believe in that better story of America," the former president told a rally ahead of Tuesday's elections, "don’t sit this one out. Vote ."

I don't resent poor people who use food stamps to buy another soft drink.

I resent rich people who take away the funds for food stamps to buy another yacht.
