☎️ Hi, Doge Hotline? It’s me again. Yes, um, I found some more waste, fraud and abuse of tax payer dollars. Right, it’s the president again. Can you make note that spending $200M of our taxpayer dollars won’t ever fix his fragile ego? Maybe he should resign and seek intense therapy instead. Thanks!

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Thank you to everyone who attended our OH-11 Town Hall in Cleveland. It was so inspiring to see such a large crowd on a very cold weeknight. Trump’s agenda is wrong for Northeast Ohio and for America and we’re going to fight back in Congress, in the courts, and in the community.
