This is outrageous and outright cruel, yet it is also the fate of millions of American’s healthcare.

Trump and the Republican Party have vastly different priorities.

They. Don’t. Care. About. Us.

From the Big Bullshit Bill and the bloated-budget Ballroom to the Epstein Coverup, it’s all about the same thing- bailing out or rewarding Billionaires.

Trump and his administration don’t care about anyone else.

Let’s continue to speak up and fight back to MACA- #MakeAmericaCareAgain

In Trump’s MAGA administration, let’s look at the numbers…

Argentina- $40 BILLION DOLLAR bailout 

42 MILLION hungry Americans- $0

(and let’s not forget the Billionaire Bailout with his BBB)

In America, Trump doesn’t even want Americans to eat cake 🤬

Yup, not dancing, acknowledging. And spotlighting the power voters have when they show up.

The next big fight is right around the corner. We are not done.

In PA we’re gonna fight all the way through Election Day, Tuesday, November 4th to Retain our Judges.

What happens in PA doesn’t stay in PA. This fight to protect women’s reproductive rights, defend our freedoms, and keep our courts fair and independent.

YES, the PA Judicial Retention races are important enough that both the DNC Chair and Vice Chair are on the ground helping in the fight to protect women’s reproductive rights and maintain free & fair elections.

PA voters need to show up & VOTE YES!

Thank you Mr President!

In the chaotic country we are living in, our state courts are our final line of defense.

Right now we need leaders who will uphold the rule of law, protect women’s reproductive rights, defend our freedoms, and keep our courts fair & independent.

Whether it’s Dementia or Manic Obsession, the American people are paying a terrible price.

And every single Republican member of Congress, his cabinet, and administration are complicit & guilty of allowing this unfettered destruction of our history and democracy.

We must hold them ALL accountable

“It won’t interfere with the current building. It’ll be near it but not touching it”

“I’m paying for it, along with other patriot donors, The country is not”

“I’m gonna build a big beautiful wall, and Mexico is going to pay for it”

Same guy. All bullshit! And Americans are paying the ultimate price 🤬

Taking a quick pause in this hyper-political climate to share an incredible display that Mother Nature provided in Southwestern PA this morning.

Trump’s Tarrifs tanked American farmers 

Trump’s shutdown is costing tens of thousands (more) job losses 

Trump’s shutdown will rip healthcare away from millions of Americans 

But Trump bails out Billionaires and favored foreign nations.
