Thank you so much to the Essex Junction voters for trusting and believing in me. I am humbled and excited to get to work!

TY to all the volunteers that wrote postcards, honked and waved, knocked on doors, and donated time, money, and stamps. W/o you, none of this is possible.

I mean everyone voted for fewer jobs, more war and more expensive healthcare, right?

Gregory Bovino is back in Chicago, and so is the violence.

Trump sending him here is not about safety. It’s about fear and force. We won’t give in.

In Congress, I’ll vote to abolish ICE.

One of the biggest moments of my career:
USCIS canceled my client’s naturalization oath ceremony. We filed a lawsuit, went to trial, and the judge swore him in right there in the courtroom!

Time for implementation of national gun laws. None of this state jurisdiction nonsense. Why did one of the perpetrators have six firearms? What possible justification could there be?

As Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis stated in 1933; “We can have democracy in this country or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of the few, but we cannot have both.”

Today, at a time of unprecedented income & wealth inequality, his words ring truer than ever.

One really cool way of making sure American soldiers don't get killed while occupying American cities is to not deploy soldiers to occupy American cities

The President of the United States of America - who is a stunning black hole of sociopathy and malignant narcissism - is emotionally incapable of wishing ALL the people of the United States a Happy Thanksgiving.

Incapable.

Oh and he threatened the lives of Dem legislators this week.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth chastised Sen. Mark Kelly for incorrectly displaying his military uniform medals, not comprehending that photographs reverse images from left to right. Here’s what that says about Joe Biden’s cognitive state.

Comey: "I'm grateful the court ended the case against me, which was a prosecution based on malevolence & incompetence... I was inspired by the career people who refused to be part of this travesty. It cost some of them their jobs, but it preserved their integrity, which is beyond price"

It’s crazy to think about the crimes we’re going to learn about after this regime ends.

We’re already hearing about Watergate level crimes every week. Imagine what will come out after it’s over.

We’re going to need a full accounting of all that’s been done in violation of the constitution.

To everyone saying that people in our military already know not to follow unlawful orders, how do you explain almost 100 civilians murdered on fishing boats in the Caribbean so far?

Huh. Shutdown ends and we immediately get Epstein himself calling out 47 from beyond the grave. Curious.
