Deep dives
Concerns about government prosecution
Congresswoman Victoria Spartz, who grew up in the former Soviet Union, expressed her concerns to Attorney General about Americans feeling afraid of prosecution by the Department of Justice. She discussed the need for people to be able to express their opinions without fear of reprisal or government overreach. She mentioned the events of January 6th and how Americans came to peacefully demonstrate their frustrations with the government, but were now being villainized and labeled as insurrectionists. Spartz emphasized the importance of protecting the rights of Americans to have differing opinions without living in fear.
Regrouping for the future

She stated her intentions to regroup and find new ways to invigorate Americans, as she believes the power of the people can overcome the challenges faced by the nation. While she expressed disillusionment with the current state of politics, she emphasized the importance of fighting for the republic and not allowing it to fail. Spartz acknowledged the need for leadership and a strong united front to protect the country and its values.
Concerns about government overreach
Congresswoman Spartz highlighted the dangers of Americans being afraid to express their opinions due to government overreach and potential prosecution. She criticized the current administration for its handling of dissent and the impact it has on people's willingness to speak out. Spartz emphasized the need to protect the fundamental rights of Americans, stating that respectful disagreements are healthy in a democracy, but suppressing opposing opinions leads to a dangerous dictatorial environment. She encouraged the American people to stay strong, as she believes the government fears their power and will not allow it to be suppressed.
Demand for accountability and questioning aid distribution
Congresswoman Spartz expressed her commitment to demanding accountability regarding the distribution of foreign aid. She argued that Americans deserve to know how their tax dollars are being used and stressed the importance of proper oversight to prevent corruption.
