Kate Sills for Congress (CA-05)
www.katesills.com
My name is Kate Sills, and I'm running for Congress for my brother.
He's in the Navy & our military is being asked to kill civilians.
These are unlawful orders.
Now Trump has called for people like me, who are standing up for our military, to be hanged.
Can you help me?

Nenko Gantchev should still be alive—home with his family. After 30 years contributing to Chicagoland as a small business owner and taxpayer, ICE detained him, ignored his medical needs, and he died in custody. This system is cruel, reckless, and must be held accountable.

People should be rightfully angry about the military getting bonus checks, while the rest of the country is struggling, but please remember the service members did not make this decision. They are being used as political pawns by this administration and they need our support now more than ever.

These people are about to be federal judges, and they refuse to answer whether the U.S. Capitol was attacked on January 6.
They say they can't comment because it's "a political controversy".

The Trump admin says it aims to file 100-200 denaturalization cases per month, a huge increase. But these cases are hard to file and win, and require a lot of DOJ resources, and the DOJ is incredibly stretched thin already. So we’ll see; I have serious doubts about their ability to do this.
What this will mean, in practice, that if you are deemed an enemy of the administration, they will pore through your citizenship application paperwork looking for some reason to retroactively disqualify you.

Trump and Speaker Johnson are trying to block a vote to extend ACA tax credits.
Democrats created a discharge petition and got 218 signatures — a majority of the House.

Massie: Previous presidents told us to go to war over WMDs that did not exist. Now it's the same playbook. Except we're told that drugs are the WMDs. If it were about drugs, we'd bomb Mexico or China or Colombia. This is about oil and regime change.

Donald Trump has been talking about airstrikes, troops on the ground, and naval or air blockades. These are acts of war.
But the Constitution is very clear: only Congress can declare war. So today I’m forcing a vote on my War Powers Resolution to say clearly that we reject this madness.
