When you look at your inflated grocery bill this week, remember that right before he told you that prices were down, he spent the day finalizing a $20 billion Argentina bailout.

Trump is NOT America First.

Today, Sen. Tim Kaine and I will force the Senate to vote on the administration's decision to blow up ships in the Caribbean.

If a president can put people or groups on a list and kill them, there is no meaningful limit to his use of force.

Trump's DOJ may have destroyed the case against Luigi Mangione by violating his rights. The people prosecuting him keep going out there calling him a terrorist, a left-wing lunatic, etc., potentially tainting every jury pool across the country.

If this country was truly "pro life," we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage.

The right-wing agenda isn't about "life".

It's about control.

Elon Musk hitting $500 billion while 60% of Americans can't afford basic necessities is what it looks like when billionaires buy elections to get laws written to benefit themselves at the expense of everyone else.

Elon Musk is a result of decades of policy failures.

Congressional Republicans and Trump are more concerned with getting their billionaire donors major tax cuts than preserving healthcare for their constituents.

At what point do you realize that Trump and Republicans lie to you every single day?

They aren't working for you; they're working for their rich donors.

That's why they claim there isn't money for healthcare for US citizens, while giving $20 billion to Argentina to bail out wealthy investors.

Trump is ramping up his attacks on a free press and on freedom of expression in this country - and it should frighten every single one of us to the core.

He’s taking over corporations and creating an oligarchy at the top of government with rampant corruption everywhere you look.

The US dollar is having its worst year in decades, per Financial Times. I wonder what happened this past January that could have caused this?

One week from right now, millions of Americans will gather in every state for the biggest day of peaceful protest in American history. Join your local No Kings Day event to make it clear that We The People won’t cower in response to Trump’s authoritarian takeover. #nokings

Trump will blow our taxpayer dollars on all kinds of stuff for his buddies, his hobbies and his fascist fever dreams, but he won't protect healthcare access or undoing Medicaid cuts for regular Americans.

And that is one of the biggest problems with this sad Trump era we find ourselves in - too many people know following him and supporting him is wrong, but they just don't care.

The problem isn't that Trump is an unethical, corrupt, criminal, dirt bag. The problem is that his supporters don't care.

I just read an article saying that a legal resident was given a $130 ticket because he "didn't have his papers".

So, we're now at the "papers, please" stage of things. I'm a natural-born US citizen, and I'm carrying my passport now because of this crap.

How far we've fallen...
