Some of the most meaningful moments on the campaign trail have been spending time up in the Sault with the Bay Mills and Sault tribes. We must protect tribal sovereignty, protect our Great Lakes, and ensure everyone can get a good job and know that our basic rights and dignities are preserved.

Why is Trump's DOJ refusing to release ALL of the Epstein files or prosecute the abusers identified in those files? Is it because the files keep implicating Trump? We need a special prosecutor to get to the truth.
