His act of conviction is one that more Liberals need to emulate, for the good of the country, and their party, writes Christopher Holcroft.

DO NOT FORGET THIS! People in America STILL OWN THE GOVERNMENT. Don't give in to exhaustion and insanity. Stay focused. Don't read every tweet, post, headline, and word salad from "Truth Social". They want us to be weakened. They want us exhausted and compliant. THIS IS OUR GOVERNMENT. We OWN it.
