Despite rhetoric about making other countries pay, research shows 96% of tariff costs fall on US businesses and consumer & only 4% on foreign exporters. When tariffs rise, Americans foot the bill through higher prices. Who is this policy actually helping?

How our president engages with the world reflects our values. The U.S. now gets 30% more for Venezuelan oil than Venezuela did before we captured Maduro. Was it ever about human rights, or just resources?

Deep partisan hostility is now the majority in both parties. This wasn't by accident, this was engineered. Outrage sells, division profits, fear wins votes. But a divided nation can't solve its problems. The choice is ours: endless conflict or a country that actually works?

When we hold firmly to our values, this is what choosing country over party looks like. We need more leaders like Chris Madel who are willing to put the American people first, regardless of political pressure or partisan expectations.

ICE data: only 5% of detainees have violent crime convictions; nearly 3 in 4 have no conviction. When @homelandgov.bsky.social Sec. Kristi Noem says ICE targets the “worst of the worst,” the facts don’t match. Real security means facts, fairness, and focus.

Our President's wealth has surged to almost 300% while Americans struggle with food, healthcare, and housing costs. Most gains came from Trump-branded digital assets that cost ordinary investors their savings, according to Axios. We need leadership that puts our country first, not personal profit.

On the 5th Anniversary of the failed January 6th insurrection attempt, we’re reminded how fragile democracy can be. We must remember the darkness of that day so it’s never repeated.
We are grateful to the brave men and women of the DC Metro and Capitol Police that defended the Capitol that day.

Five years after Jan. 6, we’re still reckoning with what came next. Over 1,600 involved were pardoned, while some later faced arrests for violent crime, threats against police, abuse, and worse.
This isn’t politics. It’s accountability, public safety, and the rule of law. Country first. Always.
