One of my โprogressiveโ opponents took thousands of dollars from a gas executive. Call me crazy, but so-called โprogressivesโ shouldnโt be taking money from the fossil fuel industry.
Thatโs why Iโm not taking any money from fossil fuel executives, and asking my opponents to make the same pledge.
I urge our nation to use this weekend's No Kings marches as a declaration of independence against the tyranny and lawlessness currently running this country.
Use your voice. ACT PEACEFULLY. Protect yourself and your community.
THERE ARE NO KINGS IN THE UNITED STATES.

Stephen Miller says the president has โplenary authority.โ What they really believe is that the president can use the military, including the National Guard, to police our own cities.
Our troops have better things to do than stand around & pick up trash. This is unacceptable.
