Incredible.

Jack Posobiec references the earliest version of antifa -- the anti-fascists in the Weimar Republic who were opposed to the Nazi Party -- as the bad guys.

Trump threatens to shut down US government unless all trans health care is banned

The US government's looming shutdown hinges on anti-trans measures after Donald Trump refused to speak to Democrats unless they were passed.

I just called Chuck Schumer’s office and, for the first time EVER, a person answered, who then politely entered my complaints into their call log.

This tells me two things:

1) They’re not getting enough calls over there, and 2) If you want to yell at Schumer, today’s the day.

Good launch video overall, and the focus on the Gaza genocide is notable. I think many Dems don't understand how much of a primary issue this will be in '26 and '28.

I come from generations of freedom fighters who taught us to fight oppressive forces. Whether it’s fighting for a livable wage, to make housing affordable for all, or stopping the genocide – I’m answering the call of my forbearers. I'm Chris Rabb, and I’m running for Congress.
