He may not want you to hear it, but this is the original audio, sourced directly from the Reagan Library.

Don’t let him erase history β€” like he already did when he tore down part of the White House.

The committee that handles our nation's health is ignoring a HUGE elephant in the roomβ€”they haven't even held a hearing to discuss the expiring ACA tax credits.

So today I made sure to bring attention to the millions of families that are getting priced out of their health care.

I just came back from a trip to Ireland, where I got immmersed in their history of rebellion. My conclusion is we are too soft to do what they did. (I’m referring to white Americans)

β€˜I love Hitler’: Leaked messages expose Young Republicans’ racist chat Thousands of private messages reveal young GOP leaders joking about gas chambers, slavery and rape.

Don't let this story die. These are not little boys. This is not in any way acceptable. All these pathetic losers need to be condemned in the strongest language possible by ALL republicans and prevented from ANY political positions for life.

I camped there and took advantage of early morning before crowds. It’s sad to see so many people who go places to just check a box with a selfie rather than drink in the experience of just being there

Health insurance costs are about to rise by a record amount.

This is happening after the seven largest publicly traded health insurance companies reported a combined $71 BILLION in profits in 2024.

Instead of addressing this, Trump is spreading misinformation about Tylenol.

The most important thing to know about Trump’s acetaminophen announcement is that the GOP is still hiding the Epstein files

reminder:

Dems pick up another House Seat tomorrow night in Arizona. That’s 218th vote for Massie/Khanna Epstein Files Discharge motion.

Bringing GOP majority in House down to 5 with another one coming in Texas on 11/04 that will bring it down to 4

Release The Epstein Files!
