Whether you like it or not, this is our painful truth in America.

Question…

71.5% of ICE detainees have no criminal convictions, according to government data.

Don’t fall for Trump’s lies about targeting the β€œworst of the worst.”

As Trump's regime terrorizes communities to fill up detention centers, remember that some of his biggest donors are private prison corporations.

Last year they claimed β€œillegals” were voting, without any evidence.

They used fear mongering to push for voter suppression laws.

Now they claim β€œillegals” are getting free healthcare, again without any evidence.

So they can make healthcare unaffordable for millions of Americans.

Enough.

Turning the military on citizens.

Attempting to rig elections.

Toying with the idea of declaring martial law.

Attacking political enemies and punishing those who speak out.

If this were happening in another country, what would you call it?

My opponent thinks we are suckers. She thinks we don’t see through her smoke and mirrors on the shutdown. It’s easy to skip a paycheck when you’re a multimillionaire like she is. She’s out of touch and out of gas. Let’s replace her with someone who wants to do the work. @wellmanformo.bsky.social

I’ve lived in GOP-dominated states my entire life, and I can tell you one thing about Republican lawmakers: they don’t care about us.

It is no coincidence that Trump, Hegseth, Miller, Noem and other members of the admin continue to make inflammatory partisan political speeches to military and law enforcement. They are conditioning them now to embrace the planned war to come - their war against other Americans.

The House of Representatives has not held a vote since September 19th to avoid releasing the Epstein records. My opponent Ann Wagner hasn’t said thing about any of it. Enjoying her free vacation while the government is shut down.
