Trump voters FAFO. No sympathy. They’ll vote for him again in 2028 if given the chance.

Damn shame. It was so unexpected. It's not like he did the same thing in term 1. They voted for him to stab them in the back so hedge funds can chop up the farms.

Texas is preparing emergency resources for wildfires and floods. The Texas National Guard should be THERE — not in Illinois.

We stand ready to support their return home so they are best positioned for helping Texans respond to any natural disasters.

Abbott activates emergency resources ahead of growing wildfire threat, flood risk in Texas

With expected growing wildfire danger across Texas and the potential for a flood risk this weekend, Gov. Greg Abbott is activating more state emergency response resources Friday.

🚨This is illegal. The constitution grants Congress “the power of the purse.” The President cannot create new funding or redirect funds outside what Congress allows.

When is Melania going to get back the 1300 missing children that were separated under her husband‘s family separation policy? Also, there are 700k missing Ukrainian children. 8 children is not a flex.

Thank you to everyone who has shared their Affordable Care Act experiences with me over the past few weeks.

This much is clear: health care is too expensive, reducing these tax credits would make it even more so, and millions would lose coverage as a result.

If average HealthCare.gov plan premiums double in a few months due to Republican inaction, 4 million people will lose health insurance.

Without health coverage, many will get sicker or skip care entirely.

So much for “Make America Healthy Again.”
