Honored to be endorsed by Veterans for Responsible Leadership. I took an oath to serve this country, and that commitment didn't end when I took off the uniform. As a veteran, a nurse practitioner, and a mom, I know what it means to show up for others, and that's exactly what I'll do in Congress.

Thank you to Rev. Al Sharpton for having me on tonight. I'm a veteran, a nurse practitioner, and a mom, and I'm running for Congress so Ohio's 10th District has someone who shows up for the people here. #OH10

I'm Kristina Knickerbocker: Air Force Veteran, Nurse Practitioner, and Mom. I’m running for Congress because hardworking families in Ohio are being left behind. Our bills are too high, healthcare is too expensive, and the chaos in Washington is taking its toll on every American. The stakes have never been higher. We're at a critical moment for our nation and our democracy. Mission failure is not an option. Not for my family, not for yours, and not for our country. #OH10

Exactly what we need in the absence of a functioning U.S. Department of Justice. An organization of ex-prosecutors and investigators who help can put cases together for current and future prosecutors who will restore accountability for corrupt federal officials and those who benefit from that corruption.
We are facing a crisis of impunity. That's why we built The Rule of Law Project — to investigate unlawful conduct by federal officials, and work with state and local prosecutors to hold them to account. Watch former DOJ prosecutor Mark Blumberg and human rights leader Brad Adams launch this critical accountability initiative on MSNOW with Nicolle Wallace.

Just as trump has used the American military to become the aggressor against innocent nations victims.
"It cannot be stated often enough or vociferously enough: the Trump Administration is helping Russia to conquer Ukraine.  The United States of America has taken the side of an aggressor against its innocent victim." By my @AEI colleague @KoriSchake. aei.org/foreign-and-defense-…

🚨A Wichita, Kansas man who spent years preaching conservative Christian morality on Facebook has been arrested on a child m*lestation charge, and his past is far darker than his feed ever let on. Deputies arrested 50-year-old James Wells on Friday. Prosecutors say he fondled a child in August 2025, and he is being held on a $500,000 bond. This isn’t his first run-in with the law. He was previously convicted of similar crimes in Nemaha County. Kansas registry records show Wells was convicted in 2007 on two counts of aggravated indecent liberties /intercourse (r*pe) with a child. Those records list the victim as a 7-year-old girl and show lifetime registration. Meanwhile, his Facebook page was a steady stream of piety and politics. In 2013, he posted, “Let’s stop child abuse... Together we can do it.” In 2017, he used a profile picture reading “I Stand for the flag” and “I Kneel at the cross.” In 2019, his profile picture carried the caption “It was my sins that nailed Him on the cross.” In 2024, he challenged Christians to share a post calling drag queens performing the Last Supper at the Olympics did “ghastly and an abomination.” He also shared a 9/11 meme that griped about “Rampant Muslim immigration” and complaining that “Barack Hussein Obama”’s name is too Muslim-sounding. It’s always the conservatives who point the finger at minorities that are outing themselves as the real threats.

A judge orders Greg Abbott to release over 1,000 pages of “embarrassing and intimate” communications with Elon Musk. Texas State Rep. Gina Hinojosa asked the court to order the release of the unredacted communications amid Musk’s campaign contributions to Abbott and tax breaks Abbott awarded to Musk’s companies. @MeidasTouch
