I put a hold on Ed Martin’s nomination. He’s denied elections. Fired quality public servants. Attempted to chill free speech. Turns out he’s also carrying water for the Kremlin. So wholly unfit to be a U.S. Attorney.

I was raised a rural southern Baptist. I didn’t know what I didn’t know. When I went to college, and took a Black history class, my world changed and I couldn’t wait to teach the history that I had learned. This is why they want to defund higher education. Why they remove true history.
