I had a great time with Pieter on KDRT 95.7 fm in Davis.
From Bob Dylan to Tyler Childers, we chatted about some of my favorite songs that represent why I’m running and what I’m fighting for.
Thanks for having me, Pieter!

Still amazed how Marcy put this together, and at the ingenuity Trump applies to getting away with crimes, without peer in American history
Reminder: Todd Blanche is not meeting with sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell to do justice. He's meeting with Ghislaine Maxwell bc she has damaging dirt on Donald Trump so Todd needs to find a way to get the sex trafficker out of prison.

Deploying the military on U.S. soil as law enforcement against Americans was on page 555 of Project 2025.
So don’t say “I didn’t vote for this,” because you did.
This isn’t a response.
This was always their plan.
