The recent deployment of active-duty troops to police civilians in LA erodes trust between the military and the people, putting us all in danger.
We're asking veterans and service members to send a message to the Pentagon that our military should not be used against the communities it serves.

We need a new generation of leaders who are the voices of democracy, freedom, social justice, & the rule of law.
A new generation that gives meaning to the “we” in “we the people.”
Instead of fretting over Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic Party should embrace him as the future.

Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022.
That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations.
So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?
