The interior of Kristi Noem’s new billionaire-class luxury jet is complete with two bidets and a wet bar with a wine chiller. It will be purchased on our dime from the slush fund Congress approved in the One Big Beautiful Bill.

They're coming for adult care and they're explicit about it.
Kevin Roberts, President of The Heritage Foundation, claims that evidence suggests a correlation between undergoing Trans Medical Care and acts of violence.

He states Heritage's public policy solution is to ban it for all ages and they're willing to work towards this goal on an incremental basis.

"The Trump regime is a disaster not just for public health in the US, but worldwide. There has been a great deal of discussion of the ways in which Trump’s reckless foreign policy has put global security at risk. But US abandonment of public health leadership may well be even more consequential."
Trump somehow got worse on public health after covid
He's incapable of learning lessons and actively resists it.

This weekend, our first group of volunteers learned how to screen print! None of them had ever tried printing before, but by the end of the training, they were excited to make more.

So what are you waiting for? Drop off any t-shirt before March 9, and we’ll turn it into campaign merch for you :)

Incredible story that is worth your time to read. It exposes the ways in which the Trump admin is turning the legal immigration system into yet another arm of the mass deportation machine, transforming a benefits agency into a trap for those seeking legal status.

3/ The SAVE system had at least a 14% error rate in one Texas county, as reported here. www.texastribune.org/2026/02/13/s...
SAVE tool keeps mistakenly flagging voters as noncitizens - The Texas Tribune
DHS rolled out the revamped tool while it was still adding data. That led to widespread misidentification, particularly for citizens born outside the U.S.
