And these books are cooked, so imagine if they gave us the real job numbers!

We’re not great yet…

Remember when Charlie Kirk said that the 2nd Amendment was worth a few people dying for the right to bear arms?

Under President Joe Biden the American economy never lost jobs.

92,000 jobs were lost just last month under Donald Trump's administration, the fourth time in just the last eight months.

Slammed Donald Trump's war of choice in Iran because there is no plan and no goals, collateral damage is going to cause a spike in food inflation by throwing the farm fertilizer market into disarray.

The reaction on Newsmax actually SHOCKED ME.

That’s our Commander-in-Chief right there here. Offering Americans up as tribute for oil and distraction from ICE abuses, killing of innocents here and abroad, and that half of Trump’s cabinet is in the Epstein files…

Your constitutional rights cannot carry price tags. The SAVE Act attaches price tags anyway. Republicans in Congress are trying to monetize your participation. This commodification corrupts democracy.

Donald Trump says he wants tariffs to replace income taxes, BUT HE'S COLLECTING BOTH TAXES, AND IT'S KILLING THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.

And Trump declared all of these taxes without Congress.

And says he'll do it all over again.

Grocery bills grew while Trump claimed he'd lower prices. Coffee, meat, produce - all up double digits. His policies directly contradict his campaign promises to working families. #TrumpAffordabilityMeltdown

Former Republican Speaker of the House, Dennis Hastert went to prison for molesting children.

Trump is mentioned in the Epstein files over 38,000 times

Current Republican Speaker of the House Mike Johnson seems to be running a pedo protection program.

Do you think Republicans have a problem?

The Trump administration revised last year's job numbers down by almost 1,000,000.

Meanwhile, tariffs are squeezing businesses and every American who buys anything with rising prices.

This trend is going to reach a breaking point.

14 million households now owe past due utility bills. Trump didn’t create an energy boom - he created an affordability crisis that leaves families choosing between heat and hunger. This isn’t leadership - it’s neglect. #TrumpAffordabilityChaos

The current affordability crisis is not an accident or a natural economic cycle. It is the direct result of specific policies enacted by Donald Trump and his Republican allies in Congress. Their choices made your life more expensive. #TrumpflationSucks

Hell yes, Ford has reinstated TJ Sabula, the worker who yelled out “pedophile protector” at the orange felon, back to his original post and will not face any disciplinary action nor have it on his record thanks to the tireless support of the UAW. Love this. 💙👊

Trump and MAGA Republican’s Big, Ugly Bill more than tripled ICE funding while slashing $1 trillion dollars from Medicaid. Now this roving caravan of lawless thugs are terrorizing our cities. Congress needs to #FundHealthcareOverICE and do away with whatever this is. Watch👇👇

They told us there was no money for healthcare.
No money for kids.
No money for families drowning in medical bills.

But there’s always money for ICE. More cages. More raids. More cruelty.

That’s not a budget problem. That’s a values problem.

Fund care, not punishment.

Republicans in Congress want more blood on the streets and less healthcare for Americans because that is how their big donors get paid, whether it's private prison companies getting rich or the billionaires and their big tax cuts.

Either way, you die.

ICE's budget could fund the ACA (healthcare) extension and expand Medicaid to millions. Instead, it funds home invasions, family separation, and killing protesters. Republicans made this choice for you. Remember in November... #FundHealthcareOverICE

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.

Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.
