Dear JOHN,
This past Monday marked our annual recognition of Presidents’ Day. In his Farewell Address, President Washington cautioned us about ‘pretended patriotism’—a warning that is just as urgent today as it was in 1796. During these uncertain times, let us remember that true patriotism means fighting for democracy, not exploiting it for your personal interests.
The reckless actions of the Trump administration kept coming this week as he fired key employees responsible for managing our nuclear weapons stockpile. These professionals play a critical role in keeping our country safe, and their expertise is irreplaceable. This is a dangerous move that threatens our national security.
My office has received thousands of calls regarding the Trump Administration’s actions. I want to hear your concerns and answer your questions. Please join me for a Telephone Town Hall next Wednesday, February 26th at 5:30 PM. You can RSVP and ask your questions here.
