Trump doesn't understand his job—which is to protect, preserve, and defend the Constitution. He wants a $90M birthday party with tanks & jets to feed his ego. But he’s not Genghis Khan or Napoleon, he's the President—and he owes a duty to us, the people, and the Constitution.

Three months after the deadliest crash in decades, an Army helicopter forced 2 planes to abort landings at DCA—again. 67 lives is enough. We’ve heard reports of comms breakdowns between agencies but Pete Hegseth & DOD won’t answer questions. His incompetency is becoming a daily threat to Americans.

Trump wants a birthday parade with tanks, jets & 6,600 troops—and he wants YOU to pay for it. This is real waste, fraud and abuse. I introduced the HAPPY BIRTHDAY Budget Act to stop it. He says your kids should have less at Christmas—while he gets a taxpayer-funded parade. This isn't a monarchy.

The attack on a free press is happening right now. Trump ordered NPR & PBS defunded—for telling the truth about the impacts of his administration. World Press Freedom Day isn’t just a celebration anymore. It’s a call to action. I’m introducing a resolution to condemn these authoritarian attacks.
