I guess the Republicans have chosen to NOT represent their constituents.
Senate Republicans blocked Democratic legislation that would have extended ACA tax credits for over 20 million people
Republicans Block Bill That Would Extend Affordable Care Act Tax Credits
Democrats, meanwhile, blocked a competing GOP bill on Thursday that would have bolstered health savings accounts instead.

This is where we are now. Families are starving in the wealthiest nation in the world.
Meanwhile the president is intentionally trying to cut off food for hungry people who live in states that did not vote for him.
It's not just immoral — it's un-American.

I wonder how cabinet members would feel if that was their daughter, wife, or mother being manhandled and their rights violated like that? ICE officers need to be sued for their violations of human rights and American laws.
Agents in Key Largo, Florida ripped this woman wearing medical scrubs out of her car as she screamed she is a US citizen. Agents cuffed her and put her in one of their cars.
She was eventually let go, per David Goodhue of the Miami Herald, who also took this footage:

Pete Hegseth says he’s going to court-martial me for saying the same exact thing he said 9 years ago. What changed for Pete? Well to start, he spends all day thinking about how he can suck up to Trump. When Trump says jump, he says how high.

"Costco Wholesale has sued the Trump administration, asking the Court of International Trade to consider all tariffs collected under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act unlawful."
Love Costco.

Let’s tax the rich so they pay MORE than their fair share!
Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance.
The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income.
They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive.
Wanna fix fraud and abuse?
Fix that.

Never in the history of the US has any president openly and repeatedly called for the investigation, arrest & prosecution of his political opponents. While many continue to shrug these things off and normalize them, I will never stop pointing out that this is what autocrats do.

Because of his tariffs, the cost of everything to build his ballroom has increased.
the ballroom will never be built and he’ll just pocket whatever money he collects because he is a grifter first and foremost
Trump raises the price of the ballroom to $350 million
(It changed from $200 million, then $300 million, now $350 million within the course of a few days)

If only they’d been proclaiming their love of Hitler, they could count as children well into their 40s.
After the FBI denied "children were zip-tied or hit with rubber bullets" in a raid in Wilder, Idaho, the FBI said no "young" children were.
The updated statement came after KIVI-TV sent FBI photo reportedly showing 14-year-old U.S. citizen in zip ties.
