Trump’s plot to turn troops on citizens is un-American and dangerous.

If Richard Hudson wants to chair the NRCC, he should resign from congress.

Even Trump’s own influencers are starting to wake up. They pushed MAGA for clicks, turned politics into a circus, and now they’re realizing they were the ones being played. #OjedaForNC #NC09 #NCPolitics

Trump and Hegseth want to turn the 82nd Airborne against the American people. I served in that unit—and I’ll be damned if I let them use it to wage war on our own citizens.

Had a great time at the Moore Dems’ Women in Politics event where we heard inspiring speeches from North Carolina’s own Secretary of State Elaine Marshall, Lt. Gov. Rachel Hunt, & Supreme Court Justice Anita Earls. Proud to stand beside leaders who put integrity, transparency, & hard work first.

Out knocking doors in Asheboro with my friend Kevin Garcia — one of four outstanding Democrats running for City Council. These local races matter, and we’re building a movement from the ground up. Proud to back leaders who care about their communities. #TeamOjeda #NC09

Had a blast at Alamance County’s Esperanza Festival celebrating Hispanic Heritage. Amazing people, great energy, and powerful pride in the Latino & Hispanic community. Grateful for the conversations and the chance to be part of it!

Had an awesome time at the Alamance County Democrats pizza party & fundraiser! These folks are some of the hardest fighters for our democracy, showing up day in and day out. Grateful for the chance to share my priorities for NC-09 and spend time with such a dedicated community.

In Trump’s America the crooks get promoted while justice gets crushed. From Bondi cooking up blacklists to Homan caught on FBI cameras with bribe money, corruption runs deep. Send me to DC and I’ll fight to hold them accountable. #NC09 #OjedaForCongress

Trump promised “peace” but delivered chaos—caving to dictators, bankrolling wars, and now scheming to drag us back into Afghanistan. Our troops and families pay the price for his lies. We need leaders who end wars, not restart them. #NC09 #OjedaForCongress

Trump went to the UN and trashed our allies, wagging for dictators like a dog begging for scraps. That’s not strength—it’s stupidity. America deserves leaders who build alliances, not tantrums. #NC09 #OjedaForCongress #Trump #UnitedNations

Had a great time at a Neighborhood block party in Fayetteville listening to folks, hearing their stories, & even meeting Bridgett Floyd, George Floyd’s sister. Real leaders don’t hide. They show up, meet people where they are, & listen so they can take action & truly represent those they serve.

The Supreme Court just handed Trump and ICE a blank check to racially profile Americans in Los Angeles. Over 5,000 violent arrests since June—and Trump cheers it on.

I’ll fight like hell for the families who built this country brick by brick.

Putin just pushed into Poland with Russian drones. NATO scrambled jets, allies rushed to an emergency meeting—and Trump treats it like a damn game show.

Our troops and allies can’t afford clown show diplomacy. It’s time to put a spine back in American leadership.
