Take a moment to be still where you are and take a few deep breaths. "I am present." "I am safe." "I am still." You are still. Still here, still living, still persisting. Still loved and still protected. Still full of potential. Still full of opportunity. I'm glad you are still here.

The future is unknown, uncertain, perhaps frightening. But no matter what darkness may lurk before us, there will be glories along the way. Acts of bravery, acts of kindness, honorable deeds that will be remembered in better times. We will rise together, one day, to sing songs of glorious victory.

This is such a dark day for the US, and it's about to get so much worse. As bad as this past month has been, today is different. I have the most intense, visceral feeling of foreboding I've ever had in my life.

My love for humanity isn't found in our achievements but rather in our resilience. The ability to overcome and defy the impossible odds presented against us merely because we desire to persist at all costs despite the struggles we might endure collectively as a people. We are all in this together.

Our team reviewed the entire DOGE website. Nothing they have identified constitutes evidence of fraud or corruption—both of which are crimes. Feel free to audit us. The funds were allotted by Congress, and OIGs regularly reviewed expenditures for fraud.

I wanted to tell everyone on this platform that I love you for fighting for our country. Thank you for all of your support and acceptance. We are sisters and brothers who are going to wage a war against fascism. And whether we succeed or not, We will enshrine in history that some of us resisted.
