Yes Americans famously love austerity, especially when it’s pitched to them by a guy who was currently building a gold leafed ball room
Trump: "You can give up certain products. You could give up pencils. Because under the China policy, every child can get 37 pencils. They only need 1 or 2. They don't need that many. You always need steel. You don't need 37 dolls for your daughter. 2 or 3 is nice. So we're doing things right."

The GOP refuses to address its healthcare crisis, and it's having real effects here in North Carolina.

Every House Democrat has signed a discharge petition to extend the ACA tax credits. If just four Republicans join us, we can stop premiums from skyrocketing.

When workers have affordable health insurance, they get healthy and stay healthy which benefits their communities and our economy.

4 million Americans are expected to lose coverage if Republicans allow the ACA tax credits to expire and that shock will be felt by everyone.

A majority of Marketplace enrollees, regardless of partisanship, say that health insurance is “very important” to their financial wellbeing, their peace of mind, and their ability to access health care.

The ACA tax credits don't just help families afford the coverage they need. They help small businesses keep their employees covered while keeping costs down. Letting these credits expire will have disastrous effects on our economy. www.smallbusinessforamericasfuture.org/protect-main...

Republicans in Congress have a free gym & health insurance we pay for, & they trash the ACA that gave millions healthcare for the 1st time. The “much better healthcare plan” Trump’s been promising for 11 years is “kill the ACA & install chin-up bars in airports.”

So vote for the Republicans.
It’s amazing how ignorant you are if you think the party that only cares about the wealthy & spent the past 15 years trying to repeal the ACA & slash funding for every social program is a better choice than the party that fucking created all those programs.

If you use the ACA say goodbye to your coverage because you probably won't be able to afford it. And the GOP loves it and hopes you die.

i think all the time about how trump is one of the most singular, atypical people in america, whose entire life experience, going back at least him as a teenager, is so profoundly different from and unrelatable to almost anyone, including his own social class peers
something you have to understand about Trump & his weird comments about the economy is that the dude hasn't paid for anything like a normal person in decades - never pumps gas, never buys groceries - so he's completely & utterly out of touch with what life is like for most of us

I already know all the rationale for how Jasmine Crockett allegedly can't win statewide in Texas.

But we need 100 more Jasmine Crocketts in the national Democratic party and she's one of the few candidates left that will get a donation from me.

She's tough. She's unafraid. She fights.

Donald Trump, Jr.’s net worth has increased six-fold since his father was reelected.

Eric Trump has gotten ten times richer over the same time period.

Funny how that works, huh?
