It’s not smart to piss off Mr. Panican. P.S. Words I never thought I’d string into a sentence, but here we are.

Because this is a personal/campaign page, I created it on my own. Official pages must be okayed and I am still waiting. Thanks for the follow Lucy!

Saying this is like having a fifth grader teach the Econ class is too much of an insult to fifth graders. Spoiler alert: Tariffs are a tax. Inflation and a crashing GDP is not how we make America great again.

🇺🇸 Today is Vietnam Vets Day 🇺🇸 I am fighting to make sure this administration doesn’t go through with their plan to fire 80,000 workers from the VA health system, especially since it directly affects Vietnam vets suffering from toxic exposure and other long-term effects of the war.

Last I checked, screwing over our farmers and veterans is not a good way to make America great.

Thank you United Airlines.

Somebody should whisper in Trump’s ear that we need to take Puerto Rico from the “Carribelonians” and make it our 51st state.

I don’t remember voting for the richest person in the world. And here we are.

Going all the way back to the first one, the people who ban books have never ever been the good guys.

15 people on my team worked to make it happen, announced two weeks in advance. I also did a town hall in Marianette Miller Meeks district Sunday. If you’re a veteran, involved in education, or on snap or Medicaid, I have upcoming town halls. Subscribe to official newsletter to be the first to know.

My folks’ neighbors in Florida are selling their home and are “never coming back.” They have Ontario license plates and “no longer feel welcome.” Who knows how much the U.S. economy is/was driven, just by us being welcoming?
