The White House continues to make our work harder. They’ve:
✂️ Cut funding for transportation and education
👎 Effectively told families in poverty “you’re on your own”
❌ Presided over the longest government shutdown in history
🚨 Failed to act after Western Maryland was hit by a devastating storm.

Kristi Noem claimed a few months ago that they arrested the girlfriend of the leader of Antifa and that was going to lead to the prosecution of the entire “organization.” What happened with that? Any updates?
