News, national security, and the stories shaping America —
“I lived the consequences of decisions made behind closed doors."
Olivia’s Story
Olivia spent nearly two decades in national security roles across multiple administrations, including as Homeland Security and Counterterrorism Advisor to Vice President Mike Pence. In 2020, she blew the whistle on what she saw. In 2026, she ran for Congress in Virginia; when the courts eliminated her district, she redirected that energy back into telling the stories that matter directly — every week, in writing and now on video, to an audience of over 2 million readers and followers.
Today she runs a civic media network focused on journalism, culture, community, and courage.
