I’ve realized why Republicans haven’t spoken out against the costs of gas and everything increasing.

It’s because Muslims are getting killed.

As long as someone they consider lesser is suffering more than them, they’re fine with it. It’s a core part of the book Dying of Whiteness.

I'm still scarred from the horrific war crimes the US committed in Iraq and Afghanistan. Invading Iran will result in more crimes against humanity - girls and their families will suffer as a few billionaires in America get richer.

We must stop the war on Iran - otherwise it will be our end.

Daily operations in Iran cost $60 million.
Meanwhile, in 2025, American families struggled with $25 million in school meal debt.

Half a day in Iran would have settled the debt at home.

Donate to Salaam for Congress! He’s a husband, a dad, a fighter for working families, and he’s not taking a dime from corporate PACs. He’s running to make groceries affordable, protect health care, and stand up to the billionaires ...

Early dollars in primaries count.
If you’re waiting to give to our campaign, there’s no time to wait.

We have 5 months left in Virginia.

5 months of handing out signs, knocking thousands of doors, staffing events, and so much more.

Lock in!

Integrity Index - Holding Politicians Accountable Tracking the personal and political finances of every Congressional candidate.

We can change this, starting with the primaries this year.

Vote for candidates who don’t take money from corporations and AIPAC.

No money to build housing for the poor and homeless.
Plenty of money to build prisons for them.

No money for USAID to help people overseas.
Plenty of money to bomb people overseas.

When an economy is built by billionaire pedophiles, that’s why there’s profit in punishment.

Bringing 18F back is a nerd priority for me in Congress.

If you know nothing about them, they helped me create what is now SNAPscreener.com.

They’re efficient, they made useful things, and that’s why they were fired.

Last hour of the month! Can you give our campaign $25/month through August? It’ll help us get yard signs, print lit, and knock on doors.

The Founders placed the War Powers in Congress for a reason. Congress must stand up to the President and repeal the Authorization for Use of Military Force.

May God have mercy on all of us.

Now, a new generation of Americans will wake up this morning to yet another war. Yet another power and cash grab, yet another national debt increase, yet another generation of atrocities and trauma.

We have been here before. America invaded Iraq almost exactly 23 years ago. When the dust settled, we had spent trillions, traumatized generations on both sides, and committed untold atrocities.

All for what? To enrich military contractors and oil barons.

I condemn the US and Israeli invasion of Iran. At a time when Americans cannot afford to pay energy bills, groceries, and rent, the President should invest in stabilizing our nation. Instead, he will spend a blank check on destabilizing a region at the behest of Israel.

John is my call time volunteer.

John: this next donor gave $1,000 to AIPAC last year.
Me: ok, we’re not calling him.
John: I was hoping you’d say that.
Me: and this next one is a lobbyist for Wal Mart. We’re not calling him either.
John: noted!

Democrats, it’s that easy.

Can we get 5 recurring donors today at $25/month through the August primary?

Every recurring donor is more time meeting people, less time leaving voicemails, and increasing our win percentage!
