If Republicans allow ACA premiums to expire, the most vulnerable women are the ones who get priced out of health care.

This #DVawarenssmonth, I’m calling on the GOP to prove their claims of being pro-women and children and keep millions of women insured.

“the U.S.’s gross national debt surpassed $38 trillion Wednesday, a record number … also the fastest accumulation of a trillion dollars in debt outside of the COVID-19 pandemic”

Maybe instead of giving Trump $300M for a ballroom, billionaires can just pay more taxes.

Yup. It's really the perfect metaphor for all his crimes:

Abuse of process
Open corruption
Destruction of the notion of "public"
Bad taste

All during a government shutdown necessitated by tax cut for some of the zillionaires who paid for the ball room.

Rand Paul: "When you kill someone, if you're not in a declared war, you really need to know someone's name at least. You have to accuse them of something. You have to present evidence. So all of these people have been blown up without any evidence of a crime."

This can’t be said often enough: Trump is selling out his most loyal voting block while bailing out somebody else’s.

📍Keep an eye on this: Trump’s intentionally sabotaging U.S. farmers. His billionaire buddies will benefit by acquiring their land on the cheap.
