Easter embodies the idea that the past does not bind the future, that stunning new possibilities are open to us if we decide to rise, and that the only way we rise is together.

Today, I am putting Virginia & America First, to announce that I am running as an Independent for U.S. Senate.


New: Two years ago, the murder suspect was charged in Arlington, Virginia for assault and battery. A female victim accused him of punching her and attempting to strangle her. But that case was dismissed by a judge. You can read the Arlington County Commonwealth’s Attorney's explanation on why the case was dismissed here: wjla.com/news/local/ill…


“If Americans want next time to be different, they will have to make the warmakers pay a steep political price. Then, the harder part: the country will have to stop tying itself to the Middle East in hopes of peace, the illusion that ensures the next war” theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Applause line at protest in Philly: "For every US soldier who comes back in casket, we cheer!"


🚨BREAKING: Päivi Räsänen unanimously acquitted for her Bible tweet, but convicted of “hate speech” for a 20+ year-old church pamphlet The conviction is under the “war crimes and crimes against humanity” section of Finland’s criminal code, alongside Bishop Juhana Pohjola.



Let’s go

Just to underscore this morning: There are ZERO signs that lawmakers will find a way out of this DHS standoff before spring break.. Quite the contrary. As I report this a.m., Dems feel emboldened, that they're at the cusp of victory & a GOP cave. As Punchbowl reports this morning, Trump is rejecting Thune's proposal for a fund-all-but-ICE workaround. Trump, meanwhile, is also now insisting that he won’t sign a DHS bill unless it includes SAVE America act. Buckle up.



Today, in Iran, in the middle of a war, the regime executed a 19-year-old national wrestling champion for the crime of joining January protests. 💔 After signaling to the world, including President @realDonaldTrump, that they would halt executions of protesters, the regime has done the exact opposite. Three young protesters, Saleh Mohammadi, Mehdi Ghasemi, and Saeed Davoudi, were hanged in Qom after a sham trial. Reports indicate torture. Forced confessions. No access to chosen lawyers. Closed-door proceedings. No right to appeal. I call on @GlobalAthleteHQ to stand with Iranian athletes who are being silenced, imprisoned, and executed simply for raising their voices. This is not just about sports. This is about human dignity.


Gaza: 96% of children say they feel death is imminent. After more than two years of war & relentless violence, young Palestinians face a deepening mental health emergency. Girls are at particular risk, including a rise in child marriage, @UNFPA reports. news.un.org/en/story/2026/…
