Friends and comrades made a crowdfunding page for my family. It’s really hard to post this. I know that there are a lot of other important issues asking for money but things have gotten to the point where we need to open ourselves up to your support. Thank you for your consideration.

UPDATE 2: NB I-5 at Northgate Way (MP 173) remains fully blocked SB I-5 has the left 3 lanes blocked. Traffic is being diverted to Northgate Way. We are seeing about 4+ miles of back ups. The express lane reversal will likely be delayed. Plan for delays. Seek alternate routes.

I’m about to board my flight to El Salvador, where I hope to meet with senior government officials to discuss the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. I also hope to see Kilmar and check on his condition — and remind him that we won’t stop fighting until he’s home.

We found the real fraud.
(above an image of Elon Musk) While Elon Musk was busy slashing consumer protections and food for poor kids, the Trump administration agreed to pay SpaceX another $38,858,978

(below the image) Trump and Elon aren't uncovering fraud, waste, and abuse of power-they are creating it.

One thing I'd add to that segment: we tracked GOP town halls all over the country last week. We counted only 8! So 95% of GOP members are hiding from their constituents. If we're going to pressure them publicly, local groups are going to have to get creative. Stay tuned for more on that front soon!

Spending isn't a “conspiracy” just because Musk doesn’t know how to read usaspending.gov. A program isn't waste just because it doesn’t help the richest man in the world. It isn't fraud just because he doesn’t like it. A law is not illegal just because he disagrees with it.
