Middleboro Review and so on

  THIS IS AN EMAIL FROM EUGENE VINDMAN THAT I CHOSE TO SHARE BECAUSE  OF THE HEROIC ACTS OF THE TWIN BROTHERS TO STAND UP FOR TRUTH and  DEMOCRACY!  IT MATTERS BECAUSE ALEX VINDMAN IS RUNNING FOR SENATE IN FLORIDA!  I wanted to take a moment today to share my immigration story with you and how it led me to this very moment — fighting to defend our district, Virginia, and our country from MAGA authoritarianism. My twin brother Alex and I were born in Soviet-led Ukraine to a Jewish family during the height of the Cold War. We lived under an oppressive regime — no free speech, rampant corruption, constant propaganda, and brutal authoritarianism. My father made the courageous choice to flee that life and seek a better one for our family. Like many other immigrant families, we came to this country searching for hope with very humble beginnings. He brought us to America with nothing but $759 in his pocket and knew not a word of English. His first job was lugging furni...

  We can’t just move on from this. Trump has launched a sham investigation against me in retaliation for demanding transparency about his call with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. But let’s be honest: This isn’t happening in a vacuum. This is the culmination of years of vindictive behavior from Trump — all because I blew the whistle on him six years ago and exposed his attempt to extort Ukraine. By calling for these transcripts, I reminded Trump that I’m still not afraid to stand up to his corruption. I’m still not afraid to tell the truth. And that is exactly why he’s coming after me again. That’s why I need your support now more than ever. I’m fighting a sham investigation  and  a coordinated effort from Trump and his MAGA allies to push me out of Congress. The only way I can keep standing up to them — and keep fighting for accountability — is with you by my side. So I’m asking: Can you please rush $10 to my campaign today to show Trump that these schemes to s...

  Yesterday, Trump met with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman at the White House. A lot came out of that meeting, the biggest news being Trump dismissing the brutal murder of Jamal Khashoggi, a journalist and U.S. resident whom American intelligence believes was killed on MBS’s orders. That alone should alarm every one of us. But for me, it raised even more red flags. So I went to the House floor and demanded the release of the call transcripts between Trump and MBS. Here’s why: During my time on the National Security Council, I reviewed many calls between Trump and foreign leaders — including the Zelenskyy call that my twin brother Alex and I blew the whistle on, leading to Trump’s first impeachment.   I also reviewed a call between Trump and MBS after Khashoggi’s murder, and it was shocking. I’ve heard firsthand how Donald Trump speaks to authoritarian leaders behind closed doors. I’ve seen how he bends American values to protect himself, not our country. That pattern i...

  As a father, my number one job is to make sure my kids have every opportunity to learn, grow, and succeed. But Trump? He just launched a full-scale attack on their future. Yesterday, Trump signed an illegal and unconstitutional executive order to dismantle the Department of Education. That means gutting public school funding, ripping resources away from kids, and making college even further out of reach for working families. I won’t stand by while Trump and his MAGA extremists rob our kids of their future. If you’re with me, rush $10 right now to help us fight back. If you've stored your info with ActBlue, we'll process your contribution instantly: CONTRIBUTE $10   CONTRIBUTE MORE I’m a product of public schools. My kids go to public schools. I know firsthand how important it is to invest in public education to ensure that every child can succeed. But Trump and his allies? They don’t care. It started with book bans, rewriting history books to exclude racial history, and even...

   I need to make sure you saw this: Yesterday, news broke that Trump has launched his retribution campaign against me — and he’s weaponizing the Department of Justice to do it. Trump’s DOJ has opened a sham, politically motivated investigation against me because I’ve stood up for Ukraine and held him accountable. This is nothing more than an attempt to intimidate and silence public servants like me. But let me be clear: It won’t work. Since day one, Trump has used the power of the federal government for his own corrupt, authoritarian agenda. And now, he’s trying to smear and discredit Alex and me for blowing the whistle on his 2019 attempt to extort Ukraine. Just last year, he called us “the worst people” and told Virginians they needed to “teach the Vindmans” a lesson. This is his way of doing just that. Trump and his MAGA allies want me out of office. This is their plan to do it, and we cannot let them succeed. We must show them that we will not be silenced. If you are with...
