What is Trump hiding?

NationBuilder Friend, Yesterday, I voted to force the release of the Epstein files. And I'm not going to back down until we get justice. Join my fight >> DONATE Donald Trump could've released the Epstein files at any point. He didn't have to wait for Congress. But he has n…

Release. The. Epstein. Files.

NationBuilder Friend, During the Biden Administration, Ted called for the release of the Epstein Files. The new release of explosive emails by the House Oversight Committee shows Donald Trump knew about Jeffrey Epstein’s pedophilia operation and may have participated in it, along …

Our chance to fight back

NationBuilder Friend, Republicans control the White House, Senate, and the House. They could end their shutdown tomorrow. Instead, they're stopping food assistance funding and letting healthcare costs skyrocket. Trump and congressional Republicans are crushing the American people…

Trump is ruining our economy

I just questioned Kash Patel

NationBuilder Friend, Today I went head-to-head with FBI Director Kash Patel—and let’s just say he could barely answer a single question. When I asked Patel point-blank if Donald Trump is in the Epstein Files, he couldn’t give me a direct answer. When I asked why he hadn’t subpoen…
