My bill that will make Trump have a temper tantrum

Hi, it’s Kirsten. Have a minute?
I introduced a bill that has Donald Trump fuming — and honestly, I’m not sorry about it.
While families across this country are stretched thin trying to pay rent and put food on the table, the President of the United States has been teasing pictures of himself on the hundred-dollar bill. Trump has been pushing to plaster his name and face on passports, currency, and government property, making a mockery out of the tenets of our democracy. I’ve had enough.

So, I’ve introduced the HUMBLE Act to stop it.
The HUMBLE Act would do exactly what it sounds like: block Trump from defacing government property and using our nation’s symbols as props for his own ego. Public service is about serving the people — not yourself.
Trump has failed that test over and over again, and it’s time Congress said so out loud.
Trump’s vanity projects aren’t just embarrassing; they’re a distraction. Every minute he spends boosting his own image is a minute not spent on addressing the real challenges facing working families. And every Republican in Congress who lets it slide is telling you exactly where their priorities are.
That’s why flipping the Senate matters so much right now. A Democratic majority means we can actually move bills like the HUMBLE Act forward. It will allow us to give real oversight and get back to being a Congress that serves the American people — not on one man’s fragile ego.
If you’re as fed up as I am, please put that energy to work.
ADD YOUR NAME: PASS THE HUMBLE ACT >>
Let’s build the majority that can hold him accountable.
