All talk and ̶n̶o̶ ̶a̶c̶t̶i̶o̶n̶ allowing insurance to skyrocket as we continue to get nickle and dimed brought to you by my opponent Lisa McClain, Mike Johnson, and our dear leader #Trump who has been saying they have a #Healthcare plan that's 2 weeks away for the last decade. #Obamacare #MedicareForAll
MIKE JOHNSON: Here's the false narrative -- Democrats are pretending as though this affects everybody in the country. It affects 7% of Americans, this extended subsidy

CNBC: But we are talking 22 to 24 million Americans

JOHNSON: We're going to help 100% of Americans reduce their premiums

Their incompetence has no end I swear 🙄
Yeah it's gonna take time, but what are yall doing to HELP the #farmers and #ranchers? Or #America in general? Is #Biden to blame for your lack of action too?
Brooke Rollins on beef prices: "To rebuild the lowest beef herd in 75 years will take a little bit of time. You think about the last administration, they had a war on American agriculture. They thought that cows created climate change."

🚫🌱💸Let me point something out: When Scott Bessent and Brooke Rollins say US #soybeans are on track to be done selling when the "season" is over at the end of Feb, guess who will already be in full swing of harvest "season"?

How about increase the WAGES so people can afford houses? You can increase supply all you want but it helps no one when the price of a house is so astronomically out of reach for the average person to afford and so many houses are already bought by landlords who keep priced outrageously high!
December 2, 2025 at 3:31 PM
🥪🥬🥕As much as this administration keeps pushing that prices have come down, no one's buying the lies. No one's even buying much outside of necessities right now, and it shows in our #FoodBanks as more people are having trouble being able to afford their rent, utilities, and #groceries.

❓️Better question for Lisa McClain and the people: should #congress hold #Trump accountable for calling for Americans, specifically Dems and #veterans, to be 💀 and remove him for that behavior?
November 21, 2025 at 6:39 PM
🚫⚖️ Lisa McClain, you wouldn't even get on board for the discharge in the first place. You didn't have courage to take a stand when it mattered. Now, you hide behind "transparency" like you were for it at all.

Next November, you're out!

I'd like to remind my opponent Lisa McClain that it's not good enough whether you vote to release the rest next week, but that you didn't even have the moral compass to sign the discharge in the first place.

I remember growing up with my conservative family members, hunters, who taught me to conserve our land, air, and waters, because that's what gives us everything we care about. Having Cystic Fibrosis, I took that to heart, but unfortunately, they now call this "woke". Our kids deserve better!
DTE found its way to a loophole in the 2023 Clean Energy law that requires them to get to 100% renewable energy by 2040. Now they want to green light the project that would allow them to bypass that law WITHOUT PUBLIC HEARINGS.

Nope. DTE, show your work.

We outnumber them 10 million to one and as soon as we figure that out, there goes their way of life!

It was never about minimum wage, it was about keeping the ants in line.

🪖 Today, on #VeteransDay, I would like to take a moment to show my gratitude. Those who served our nation chose to put their lives on the line to fight for a better #America, and we owe it to them to make it happen.

Get you a candidate who's not afraid to pull up and show up 😎 I'm here for the people, and you bet I'm earning votes regardless of party. If you like what you heard me say tonight, act on it when you vote next year.
