If men with guns and masks tried to pull me out of my car, I'd fight back. Courts should reject any claims by the government that this is aggression by the person being detained, resisting arrest, or that they're a flight risk.

This is where we are at now:

“ICE agents surrounded, seized, and zip-tied a U.S. citizen who had just finished working a double shift because she didn’t “look” American to them. She had her U.S. passport on her when she was detained, yet she was interrogated for an hour.”

His role in Jan 6, preparing the House for a vote is the most under reported story of Jan 6. (it never happened, because Pelosi managed to keep certification on track)

Imagine doing everything right—working hard, saving for the future—only to lose your health care because your premiums doubled overnight.

I’m fighting to keep care affordable because Americans deserve leaders who have their backs when their health is on the line.

📣 Every American who gets a notice saying their health care premiums will go up needs to know it’s b/c Republicans are taking an extended paid vacation in order to help Trump cover up his relationship with sex-trafficker Epstein.
