Last week, the U.S. Attorney for D.C. asked to interview me because of a 90-second video that President Trump didn't like.
The intimidation *is the point*. And it’s not going to work.
Watch my full response.
BREAKING: As Donald Trump cancels free admission to National Parks on MLK Day, California will be offering FREE entry at more than 200 participating state parks.
Honor MLK. Get outdoors. And stick it to an old man with a fragile ego.
Donald Trump and JD Vance have spent the last year screwing over Pennsylvania farmers with their chaotic trade wars.
They’ve closed off markets, raised prices, and made it harder for our farmers to compete.
They obviously don’t give a damn about them, but I sure as hell do — and I’m going to keep fighting to lower costs for our farmers and ag producers so they can keep serving our communities.
While Brian Fitzpatrick hasn’t hosted a town hall in over nine years, I’ll continue to listen and fight for our community. Thank you to everyone who came out to our fifth town hall in Middletown. I’m grateful for the honest questions and the meaningful conversations.
@AustinDavisPA has been a strong voice for working people and communities too often left behind. I’m excited to support his re-election as Lieutenant Governor and keep building a Pennsylvania that works for everyone. #GSD
Over twenty-five years in the U.S. Navy, thirty-nine combat missions, and four missions to space, I risked my life for this country and to defend our Constitution – including the First Amendment rights of every American to speak out. I never expected that the President of the United States and the Secretary of Defense would attack me for doing exactly that.
My rank and retirement are things that I earned through my service and sacrifice for this country. I got shot at. I missed holidays and birthdays. I commanded a space shuttle mission while my wife Gabby recovered from a gunshot wound to the head– all while proudly wearing the American flag on my shoulder. Generations of servicemembers have made these same patriotic sacrifices for this country, earning the respect, appreciation, and rank they deserve.
Pete Hegseth wants to send the message to every single retired servicemember that if they say something he or Donald Trump doesn’t like, they will come after them the same way. It’s outrageous and it is wrong. There is nothing more un-American than that.
If Pete Hegseth, the most unqualified Secretary of Defense in our country’s history, thinks he can intimidate me with a censure or threats to demote me or prosecute me, he still doesn’t get it. I will fight this with everything I’ve got — not for myself, but to send a message back that Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump don’t get to decide what Americans in this country get to say about their government.
Donald Trump’s actions in Venezuela do not make America safer, stronger, or more affordable.
That Maduro is a brutal, illegitimate dictator does not change the fact that this action was both unlawful and unwise. We’ve seen this movie before. Wars for regime change or oil that are sold as strength but turn into chaos, and American families pay the price.
The American people do not want this, and they are tired of being lied to.
This is not about drugs or democracy. It is about oil and Donald Trump’s desire to play the regional strongman. If he cared about either, he wouldn’t pardon a convicted drug trafficker or sideline Venezuela’s legitimate opposition while pursuing deals with Maduro’s cronies.
The President is putting troops at risk, spending billions, destabilizing a region, and offering no legal authority, no exit plan, and no benefit at home.
America needs leadership whose priorities are lowering costs for working families, enforcing the rule of law, strengthening alliances, and — most importantly — putting the American people first.
This is Trump’s long game.
We’ve spent years cracking down on fraudsters. It’s a serious issue - but this has been his plan all along.
He’s politicizing the issue to defund programs that help Minnesotans.
Our next Town Hall is officially on the calendar — January 8th in Middletown — and I hope you’ll join me for my fifth Town Hall since launching my campaign. Sign-Up using the link here! (1/3)
