Those $376 Million Obama renovations people like Jesse Watters are using to defend Trump?

This is such a great callout…

Does your Christian church have a plan to help the community when SNAP benefits don’t go out in November?

If not, you’re at the wrong church.

Good morning.

It's been 30 days since Adelita Grijalva was elected by the people of Arizona's seventh congressional district to represent them in Congress.

Mike Johnson still refuses to swear her in.

$170B for ICE and Border Patrol
$40B for Argentina
$1B to refurbish Trump's Qatar jet
$230M for Trump's DOJ "compensation"
$200M for Kristi Noem's jets
$98M for Trump's golf outings

But no money to lower your healthcare costs.

How The SAVE Act Would Roll Back Voting Rights What is the SAVE Act and why we cannot allow it to become law

A criminal who incited a violent insurrection and brags about running and winning in 2028 and is building a $250 million White House ballroom is a man who doesn't plan on leaving.

Trump is going to stay in office until he dies.

Should be clear to everyone but we normalized it.

ICE is stockpiling arms, including chemical weapons, guided missile warheads and explosive components. The spending dwarfs anything we've ever seen in the agency - a 700% increase.

The President is building an army to attack his own country.

If you're a writer/other creator in the United States, consider creating an LLC for your business and then signing up for a local area Chamber of Commerce. Many of them have health insurance plans that pool their members and members of other CoCs to create insurance efficiencies relative to ACA.
