Since 1889, our nation has been under a silent assault by Socialism/Marxism. After the 1888 defeat of that administration, the lame duck leadership must have signed into law, the Communist Manifesto. Under Communism, We the People lost the individual rights and become collective. If you tried to do your genealogy, you will run into a problem. The Federal government told the States to not record births, deaths, or marriages between 1889 and 1921. I believe with the rise of Democratic Socialism they will now be overtly assaulting our Republic to make it like the USSR or Cuba. Get ready to fight
In 2024, No new policy was needed to control immigration. Just needed new leadership that enforced the laws that were on the books. We have about 40 million illegal immigrants in the U.S. that came in between 2008-2016 and 2021-2024. One political party is fighting hard to keep the illegal immigrants from being departed. This political party is responsible for thousands of criminals staying in the U.S. and should take personal responsibly in being charged with at least Criminal Negligence for loosing 425,000 illegal immigrant children. The rights of U.S. Citizens take precedence over illegals
Pass DOGE into law. Billions of Dollars of waste and fraud have been found. It was found a former assistant secretary just push the button at the Treasury and paid bills with no substantiation and the current administration is trying to trace the money.
Most of our Pollution come across the Pacific Ocean from China, Korea, and India. In the Paris climate accords these countries don't have to comply for 46 years China just built over a hundred coal fired electrical power plant to run AI and other facilities. India generates 401 gigawatts of power with their coal fired electric generation plants with 40% increase by 2030. Brazil keeps burning down the forest I have seen satellite images of air pollution traveling across the Pacific Ocean. There is no way the U.S. should bare the burden of throwing money at the pollution which we didn't cause.
If the democrats win Congress, there will be no work and just impeachment after impeachment. Costing millions of dollars. They will get their $174,000 paycheck for nothing.

The Voting Rights Act of 1965 was the crown jewel of the Civil Rights movement, and it's been gutted. Protecting our democracy means passing the Civil Rights Act of the 2020s to guarantee every American access to the ballot, including the right to vote by mail. It also means ending gerrymandering and getting big money out of politics. Restoring Americans' trust in institutions starts with holding leaders to strong ethical standards by banning congressional stock trading and getting corporate PAC money out of our elections for good.
Trump has turned immigration enforcement into a political weapon, sending masked agents to raid churches and schools, detaining people at green card appointments, and defying court orders to deport legal residents. That machine can't be reformed at the edges. We need to abolish ICE and rebuild enforcement around accountability and due process, create a real pathway to citizenship, protect Dreamers and asylum seekers, and end the for-profit detention centers that cage people for profit. We can secure the border without abandoning bedrock American values.
Affordability is my top priority, and it's personal. I was raised by a single mom on a teacher's salary, so I know what rising prices mean for working families. Congress must repeal Trump's tariffs, the largest tax hike on working families in modern history, ban grocery price gouging so corporations can't pad profits at the expense of working families bottom line, and let Medicare negotiate all drug prices. I'll fight to expand the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit to spur construction of affordable housing and establish a refundable tax credit for first-time homebuyers.
Yes. Climate change is a defining challenge of our generation, and Texas feels it, with "once-in-a-generation" disasters now hitting every other year. Trump is making it worse, gutting clean energy investments, sidelining scientists, and handing policy to polluters, all while driving up families' energy bills. I helped pass the Inflation Reduction Act, the largest climate investment in history, and I'll fight to defend it: protecting clean energy tax credits, restoring renewables, holding polluters accountable, and demanding an EPA that answers to science, not lobbyists.
The most pressing issue is corruption. Washington is rigged: members of Congress use classified briefings and committee access to trade stocks and get rich on information you'll never have. That's not public service, it's a betrayal, and it hurts working families most. In six years in Congress, I never traded a single stock or took a dime of corporate PAC money. I'll fight to ban congressional stock trading, get big money out of politics, and pass real ethics reform, because public service should be about making our our community stronger, instead of making politicians richer.
