Anyone notice that inflation is up? Yup. Ironic, right? Hey, I don’t blame anyone because inflation is not controlled by one guy. It’s supply and demand, stuff like bird flu killing the hens that lay eggs, tariffs, and offering money to lots of people recovering from a once-in-a-lifetime pandemic.

The House Republican budget confirms what we've long known to be true – they are stealing your taxpayer dollars to reward billionaires and corporations.

Their budget takes healthcare away from millions of Americans while folks like Elon Musk get new tax breaks worth hundreds of billions of dollars.

Thank you, senators @chrismurphyct.bsky.social, Brian Schatz & @chrisvanhollen.bsky.social & reps @raskin.house.gov & @connolly.house.gov, Judge Loren L. AliKhan for standing up to recklessness. Also to my rep, Jimmy Panetta, who is taking action to preserve our government.
