Mike Gross for Congress

The Epstein files will dominate headlines, fuel conspiracy theories, and drag more famous names through the mud. But let’s be honest - it probably won’t tell us anything we don’t already know about our leaders. It’ll just confirm it. The President told us everything we needed to know about his character over a decade ago. And he’s reinforced it time and time again. So why are we surprised this time?

The Epstein files are just the la...

I’m just a nobody. But I’ve seen enough to know we’re standing on the edge.

America isn’t broken the way a window breaks. It’s broken the way human spirit breaks. Slowly. Quietly. Until one day, you realize the light’s gone out behind their eyes.

We’ve all felt it. That quiet, suffocating heaviness. The slow collapse of a country that once promised more than merely survival.

It’s not about politics anymore. It’s our collective exhaust...

We live in a different reality than our leaders

I don’t live behind iron gates or inside marble walls. I don’t spend my nights mingling with billionaires and lobbyists. I spend my days listening to people who are tired. Tired of the noise, tired of the lies, tired of being invisible to the people who were elected to serve them.

Meanwhile, the President is living in another reality. In his recent 60 Minutes interview, these were his o...

I’m just a nobody. But ask me what I stand for, and it will always start with us - the builders, the doers, the dreamers. The everyday Americans who still believe this country can be better than the headlines say it is.

And as we prepare for another round of major government shutdown impacts, with SNAP benefits expiring on Saturday, I want to be clear. I don’t care if you’re allied with MAGA or Democrats.

40 million+ (mostly kids and...

Hey America. Mike Gross here. Your Nobody-for-Prez option for 2028. You know, the “voice for all of us” candidate who still believes public service should mean actually serving the public.

Today, we’re here at home. Arizona’s Fightin’ Fifth. My district.

Now, maybe you’ve heard of my Congressman, Andy Biggs. One of the six who asked Trump for a pardon after January 6th. No?

Maybe you remember him as the guy who won $10 million bucks ...

The great American awakening: What happens when we stop seeing the truth

The 99% has become a silent surrender

America is drifting toward a quiet collapse. Not the cinematic version with riots and rubble, but something slower, emptier, and crueler. It’s a collapse of fairness. A collapse of connection. A collapse born from apathy - from a nation too distracted or too divided to see what’s really happening right in front of it.

Drive t...

We have a choice between greed and grace

Picture it: America in the year 2040. The skyline still glows, but the people beneath it are dimming. Neon hospital towers shimmer above cities like fortresses, their mirrored glass reflecting the lives they no longer touch. Inside, the wealthy glide through sterilized halls, scanning their retinas for entry into rooms humming with robotic surgeons, gene editors, and miracle cures. Outside, t...

There’s a big disconnect between all of us and Washington. Most Americans actually agree on the same set of problems. But they don’t sound like the problems you hear from politicians.

It’s not about tariffs and inflation, border security and threats against democracy.

Families don’t struggle over the national debt or millions of people losing health coverage. We struggle with the real, raw, personal impacts we feel every day due to l...

Politics didn't break us, silence did.

Healing the family divide takes grace...and taking one small step

Somewhere between the shouting and the scrolling, we lost each other. Mothers and daughters. Fathers and sons. Parents who haven’t heard from their kids in years. Grandparents who’ve never seen their grandbabies. Best friends. Neighbors. Entire families and communities now splintered by politics and pain.

People who once shared a l...

America doesn’t just need jobs. We need purpose. The Innovation Corps is a bold plan to put millions of Americans to work. Rebuilding our country with medical breakthroughs, healthcare advances, clean energy, modern infrastructure, and new technology. Like the Space Race or the New Deal, this is how we unite the nation, protect against AI-fueled job automation or displacement, lift up working families, and remind the world that Ame...

I grew up in the heartland. Where you learn early that your livelihood depends on the weather, the soil, handshakes, and a buyer who keeps his word.

My family and our community has lived through a lot - the anxiety of watching clouds roll past when you need rain, the fear of losing a season’s worth of work because animals get sick, a buyer backs out, or a market collapses. You don’t have time for Washington’s “BS” or excuses.

But tha...

Another government shutdown, another round of finger-pointing. Republicans claim Democrats want to “fund healthcare for illegal immigrants.” Democrats say Republicans are “holding America hostage” by refusing to extend Affordable Care Act (ACA) subsidies, which will drive up healthcare premiums for millions of Americans. Both sides are performing, and we the people are the collateral damage.

Here’s the truth: neither party is acting...

Make this weekend FOR US - for all of us rejecting the chaos, resisting the lies and soundbites, and reclaiming our voice and our power as Americans. Over the past nine months, the President has only progressed HIS agenda, HIS authority, and HIS bank account. It’s time we fought back and said ENOUGH.

No more using our cities as a violent battleground against immigrant families under the guise of a criminal drug war.

No more threats...

People are hurting. Bills go up faster than paychecks. Food, rent, medicine - all of it. Millions worry whether a shutdown will cost them their jobs or savings. Parents pray their kids won’t grow up in a country torn apart by hate and violence. These aren’t talking points - they’re our daily reality.

Now, Donald Trump sees these same problems. He’s correctly acknowledging that the status quo isn’t and hasn’t been working for most of...

Donald Trump is who he is. At this point, nobody’s surprised by his behavior. He craves attention, demands loyalty, and treats truth like it’s optional. Psychologists call it narcissism. Ordinary people call it exhausting. Either way, it’s NOT going to change.

But here’s the thing. America doesn’t need to change him. America needs to change how we deal with him without losing our own humanity, without undermining the values that mak...
