Trump is an evil criminal and his indifference during the Capitol insurrection, encapsulated in the phrase "So what?", raises critical questions about accountability and the values that underpin our American Democracy.

In the wake of the September 11 attacks, our nation, and allies came together in a remarkable display of resilience and unity.

Amid the tragic attacks that shook our country to its core and killed thousands of innocent people, Americans set aside their differences to unite and declare in one voice that we must persevere and pay tribute to all members of our military and recognize the brave responders who sacrificed their lives so we may continue to enjoy living in the greatest nation on earth.

It's concerning when leaders undermine the free press, as it's a cornerstone of democracy and essential for holding power to account.
