Something ironic about Donald Trump: One day after a school mass shooting, he tells us "We have to get over it." Yet with the 2020 election, almost 5 years ago, he can't get over the fact that he lost the election in both the electoral college and the popular vote.

Democrats and Republicans blaming each other for our health insurance problems. Divide and Conquer. Our anger should be directed towards the excessive pharma and health insurance company profits. Explain the 4x cost of insulin in the U.S. compared to other developed nations.

Donald Trump during a meeting yesterday with Republican Senators said: “You go to a grocery store, you have to give ID. You go to a gas station, you give ID. But for voting they want no voter ID. It's only for one reason: because they cheat."

According to Air Force records Trump was only at 4 of the 96 military "dignified transfers" of Americans killed overseas during his first term. He witnessed only 9 of the 127 deceased soldiers. It’s one thing to not go. It’s another thing for Trump to lie about going.

Donald Trump claims he aced his cognitive tests. But his statements indicate a mental decline. Donald Trump has claimed Ukraine invaded Russia, foreign countries pay for his tariffs, didn't know anything about Project 2025, and also claims he never said "Lock Her Up."

These Representatives have a 100% rating from Federation for Immigration Reform (FAIR), a group with one mission: To severely limit immigration into the United States. FAIR’s founder, the late John Tanton, has expressed his wish that "America remain a majority-white population."

The minimum wage was set to $7.25 in 2009. in 2014, this minimum wage worker could buy a McDonalds Quarter Pounder w/Cheese meal for $5.39. Ten years later, in 2024, the cost of the same meal more than doubled to $11.99. Why should they work twice as long to afford the same meal?

If you don't care for Rick Scott's attitude, you probably would not like Republican Georgia Congressman Rick Allen either. On the House floor Congressman Allen said "Many People are coming up to me on walkers, saying 'Rick, we'd like to work into our 90's to make America Great."

Rick Scott defeated Sink by around 68,000 votes, or 1.29%. What disturbs me, is that for the 6 years prior to his 2024 election, retirees donated $3,988,166 to his campaign.

Republicans have had a long history of hating women. They want to continue the War on Women. Look at the goals of Project2025 to end No-Fault Divorce, and limit contraceptives and abortions. Do Republicans think females are too stupid to make their own health care decisions?

Republicans have been in control of the Texas state, county, and local governments for the past 30 years. The incumbents keep getting re-elected. Even after the Uvalde Texas School shootings, the county voters overwhelmingly chose Republican incumbents, favoring them by more than 60 to 70 percent.

The tax break @SenRonJohnson spearheaded in 2017 saved two billionaires, Diane Hendricks & Elizabeth Uihlein, $79 million in taxes in 2018 & delivered more than HALF A BILLION in tax savings over its' eight-year life. The Big Beautiful Bill will make these tax breaks permanent.

The notion that Republicans care about the debt is one of the biggest lies in American politics. As long as the wealthy and corporations get their tax cuts, the deficit be damned. If Republicans really cared, why did they put a debt limit increase in their proposed Big Ugly Bill?

Two billionaires, Diane Hendricks and Elizabeth Uilein donated millions to the Wisconsin Truth super PAC which only supports Ron Johnson. The Wisconsin Truth Super PAC darkened the then current lieutenant governor Mandela Barnes's skin in their racist and fearmongering ads.

n June 2022, an ethics complaint was filed against Johnson for the fact that he requested reimbursement for repeated travel to his Florida vacation home, trips for which the family jet -- a nine-seat, multi-engine Pilatus PC-24 -- was used.

@SenRonJohnson pushed through a 'pass through' tax break in the Trump Tax Bill that personally benefited Johnson and his major donors. His adult children benefited directly from the provision that allowed wealthy individuals to write off the entire purchase price of private jets.
