.@FishStark on Pete Hegseth weaponizing faith in the military: "The real infection is the idea that the military is built to serve an extreme religious ideology, rather than the U.S. Constitution."

[Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray]

Inflation has surged to its highest level in years. Thanks to Trump's tariffs and war.

This President is intentionally making life harder and more expensive for Americans.

All while spending your taxpayer dollars on vanity projects and war.

[Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono]

5 million Americans can't afford health care.

Yet, $14+ MILLION tax dollars are being spent on an algae-infested pool, and now our National Guard is being tasked with "securing" it.

Apparently, guarding algae is a higher priority than ensuring Americans can see their doctors.

[Congressman Dwight Evans @RepDwightEvans]

Thanks to Trump’s war of choice, your monthly gas bill went up by over $42.

With that extra money, you could have bought:
🥚19 dozen eggs
☕️4 pounds of ground coffee
🥩6 pounds of ground beef

From the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in Alaska to the Boundary Waters in Minnesota, President Trump is putting beloved public lands and waters across the country—and America’s conservation legacy—at risk of being permanently altered or destroyed.

One year after Trump signed the OBBBA into law, the administration’s policies are bleeding the revenue of the American tax system and have left millions of Americans without health coverage and food assistance, on top of the rising prices and economic uncertainty. https://t.co/wrTNIxXiu2

Update on the $14.7 million Reflecting Pool renovation: it turned green, the paint is peeling, a 67-year-old Olympic canoeist has been arrested, and the whole thing needs to be drained and redone.

Seems like Trump’s really cracking down on waste, fraud, and abuse these days.

President Trump is pouring millions of taxpayer dollars into the Reflecting Pool, while actively harming green spaces across the country.

At their core, fair contracting policies are rooted in principles of accountability and the responsible use of public funds. Although cities and states that have long adopted these policies have been controlled by Democratic majorities, policymakers in communities where Republicans hold significant power are increasingly debating similar measures. https://t.co/pqtjkrfzYk
