Well, this was a fun surprise.

Over the weekend, the Russian Government permanently banned me from stepping foot into Russia.

Luckily, I’m in pretty good company. Vladimir Putin also banned more than 900 other Americans from entering the country for speaking out against his authoritarian regime. The list includes President Biden, Vice President Harris, Speaker Pelosi, and even Morgan Freeman.

If standing up for democracy bans me from Russia, then I accept this ban as a badge of honor.

After Vladimir Putin invaded a sovereign, democratic country, I’ve worked to support our allies and get Ukraine the resources they need to win the war. Just recently, I met with President Zelenskyy in Kyiv to express our nation’s support.

I’ve always gone where the fight is. I’m not going to back down to Vladimir Putin or his cronies.

I’m working to defend our national security at home and abroad — even if it means standing up to authoritarian leaders like Vladimir Putin. Pitch in to help me continue that fight:
