Take a moment to reflect on the anniversary of when traitors to the Union surrendered yet faced minimal accountability for their treachery.
Let it be a reminder that this corrupt, anti-American administration must not escape accountability. I am committed to ensuring justice is pursued.

The Pope’s response to being threatened by the Pentagon?
- Cancelled his July 4th US visit.
- Spending our 250th birthday on an island where African migrants wash ashore.
- Told Catholics to call their reps and demand an end to the Iran war.
The first American pope.
He will NOT be bullied by Trump!

✔️Block intel sharing
✔️Demean Zelenskyy in the Oval Office
