When we say we fight for farmers, we mean real people. Not corporate giants or Argentinian beef barons. Republicans are gutting family farms and leaving our towns for spare parts: They aren't about helping the heartland. They're selling it off. #StandWithFarmers #BreakUpBigAg #RuralNotCorporate

Some things may never be recovered from this failed presidency

Oh, look — they’ve mistaken public office for royal birthright. News flash: you’re not a ruler, you’re an employee.
And the people still get the last say. Nice try. We’ll be voting anyway.

They call it “freedom,” but somehow it keeps costing more — more insurance costs, more at the grocery store, more just to stay afloat.
If this is freedom, why does it feel like everything’s at war with my wallet?
Working people deserve better than slogans. We deserve solutions.

A Michigan man bought a $290 part on eBay — and got slapped with a $183 “tariff” when it arrived. Why? Tariffs don’t punish countries. Tariffs punish YOU. TARIFFS are TAXES. Every trade war ends the same way: the rich stay rich, and working folks pay the price. #TariffsAreTaxe

During the shutdown, Congress still gets paid, while Missouri families wait for paychecks. Something’s wrong when the people doing the work go unpaid, and the people causing the crisis cash their checks.

This isn't politics. MTG spoke the truth about the Epstein Files and she's standing for the truth about the shutdown today. The healthcare cuts buried in the “Big Beautiful Bill” are going to drive premiums up 200% to 300%. Republicans need to stop playing games and get to work.

It’s not unpatriotic to expect integrity from power.
It’s the most patriotic thing we can do.

I’ve patrolled streets where people lived in fear of their own country’s soldiers.
I never thought I’d see that fear here.

I was wrong.
This is wrong.

Workers furloughed. Families waiting. Bills piling up. It doesn’t take magic — it takes 50 votes to end the filibuster and reopen government. There are 53 Republicans. If they really wanted to end the shutdown, they would.
Fifty votes. Zero excuses.

They didn’t need Democratic votes for their “Big Beautiful Bill.” They didn’t need them for Pete Hegseth or RFK, But suddenly, they can’t keep the lights on without us? Make it make sense.

Here’s what’s really on the line:
• You call it Missouri HealthNet- coverage for working families. They call it Medicaid
• Funding to keep hospitals open
• Tax credits for small business

They shut government down because of a law that guarantees emergency care— no questions asked. Just save lives

Republicans want you to believe this shutdown is about politics in Washington. It’s about raising YOUR costs.
Half the adults on ACA insurance are small business owners. And the Republican budget would double their health insurance rates.
We said, NO.

Pete Hegseth dragged every general and admiral to Virginia for a photo-op. Taxpayers paid the bill.

This wasn’t about strategy. It wasn’t about readiness. It was about politics. We deserve leaders who respect our money and our military. #CouldHaveBeenAnEmail #TaxpayerMoney

Republicans love pretending their hands are tied. Funny… those hands worked just fine when they rewrote the rules to ram through their Supreme Court picks.

But now, they’re helpless.

Healthcare isn’t negotiable. This shutdown is a choice. And they're choosing chaos.

Hegseth just ordered EVERY U.S. General, Admiral & top aide to Virginia for a secret meeting.
Is this about defending the Constitution and the nation — or pledging loyalty to Trump?

Billionaires like Musk, Bezos, and Disney’s Bob Iger own mansions, yachts, even rockets. But when democracy is under attack, they fold. Turns out a backbone is the only thing money can’t buy.

Franklin warned us about trading liberty for temporary safety. He just didn’t know it would come bundled with a streaming subscription.
