Donald Trump hasn’t even been sworn in yet, and he’s already making headlines for some of the most outrageous ideas we’ve ever heard: seizing the Panama Canal, buying Greenland, making Canada the 51st state, and even renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the “Gulf of America.”
This isn’t just outlandish — it’s dangerous. These bloviations weaken our allies in the battle against Russia and China and distract focus from the real issues facing Americans. Instead of addressing rising costs, expanding access to healthcare, or making government work better for all Americans, Trump is already fantasizing about an imperialist agenda that belongs in a history book — not the future of our country.
Gerry is ready to hold him accountable. As the new Ranking Member of the House Oversight Committee, Gerry will be on the frontlines, exposing the recklessness and keeping the focus where it belongs: on protecting working families, ensuring reproductive rights, and fighting for the issues that matter most to everyday Americans.
But here’s the truth: the Oversight Committee isn’t just a powerful tool — it’s also a massive target. Trump and his MAGA allies know Gerry is one of their biggest threats, and they’re coming after him with everything they’ve got.
