While parents take on debt for school supplies and seniors stretch their prescriptions, the President is most excited about...his new helipad?
Working families need relief. He's giving them vanity projects.

Tonight, El Paso County got to see two very different visions for the future. One vision has never-ending wars, skyrocketing gas prices, unaffordable healthcare, and the rich being constantly put over working people. The other vision, my vision, stands for lowering costs, restoring integrity to our government, and showing up for El Paso County. While Crank stands for Trump 100% of the time and will always prioritize his own interests, I will always stand with the people of CD-5 and choose what is right for them. The choice is clear, and I humbly ask for your vote this November.
Here's the country we’re fighting for: your paycheck covers everyday life. Going to the doctor doesn't bankrupt you. Childcare doesn't cost a second rent. And billionaires pay fairly into the system that made them rich. Simple. Popular. Possible. Join us: https://t.co/zawRxtfuh8.
The clownishly corrupt high court’s shadow-docket decision isn’t the final word on mail-in ballots, but it reveals the conservative bloc’s comfort with the Trump regime’s voter suppression schemes.
“For its part, the court has opted to take a blinders-on approach to evaluating the merits of the government’s arguments about the order’s directives, present impact, and anticipated effects, despite this court’s admonition that courts ‘are not required to exhibit a naiveté from which ordinary citizens are free,’” Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wrote in a dissenting opinion, quoting from a 2019 ruling written by Chief Justice John Roberts. Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan also dissented separately.

Gasoline has NEVER been this expensive this late in the year.
National avg: $4.10.
Extra household spending in six months: $56.4 billion — roughly $477 per home.
Big Oil's profits last quarter: $90 billion.
Trump's war. Your bill. Their windfall.

This is what I mean when I say it’s the SYSTEM that’s broken & struggling is not an individual's fault. Working families are being forced onto a "hamster wheel" of borrowing, then the interest makes everything cost even more. This is how the billionaire class keeps on winning. https://t.co/OLTv5tiDba
The national debt just smashed $40 TRILLION.
Interest payments at over $1 trillion a year are now the government's second-biggest expense, behind only Social Security.
Trump & Republicans in Congress's answer?
Add $4.5 trillion more for billionaire tax cuts.

On this Women's Equality Day, let's skip the platitudes. The women I meet — home health aides, waitresses, childcare workers, business owners, single moms — are held back less by glass ceilings than by poverty wages, no paid leave, & childcare that costs a second rent. Equality is economic. Time to legislate like it.
Recess is ending. Republicans in Congress are headed back to DC — and September will show everyone exactly who they work for. Here's some of what's on the table, and what working families are owed. 🧵⬇️
1/: Government Funding. Watch whether Republicans add to the devastating $200 billion they cut from food assistance and the $1 trillion they stripped from health care to protect the $1.7 trillion in tax cuts they handed billionaires. Budgets are choices. So is who pays. https://t.co/dOzrYGcAre
This week, teachers across America are spending their own money — out of paychecks that haven't kept up with inflation — to stock already under-funded classrooms so that our kids can be fully prepared to learn. Meanwhile, Trump & Republicans in Congress cut public education to fund billionaire tax breaks. Teachers deserve a raise. And an apology.

Billionaires and their powerful friends are thriving. Everyone else is financing groceries and back to school items. Are we "great again" yet? https://t.co/oOzBJcjCFN
Our new investigation sounds the alarm on the unique risks that state-based student loans pose to families & the abusive practices these lenders deploy when borrowers fall behind.

1/ $477. That's what the average household has paid extra at the pump in just six months of Trump's war with Iran. Where did that money go? Follow it with us. 🧵⬇️
59% of Americans — including nearly half of Republicans — disapprove of how Trump handles corruption.
One voter said it best: "he is now a member of the swamp."
People see it.
And they know who's paying for it: them.

“I’m very worried about the future of Higher Ed in Minnesota. We have a mission to train our job force for our state, and if we don’t have the funds to teach people where they’re at, then we can’t do that mission.”
BUSTED: Over a dozen U.S. companies that signed a 2021 letter urging Congress to strengthen the Voting Rights Act continue to contribute to state political groups that are actively working to undermine the legislation, according to a campaign finance watchdog.
Researchers at the Center for Political Accountability (CPA), a nonpartisan organization that tracks financial disclosures, found that companies – including Airbnb, DoorDash, Target and Zillow – that signed the letter are contributing to groups known as 527 organizations that prop up key state races, according to data provided exclusively to the Guardian.

I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to run as the Democratic nominee in FL-13 and take on Anna Paulina Luna.
With 30 years of experience solving problems in the Army, I’ll fight to tackle the cost of living crisis and root out corruption in Washington.
And when I beat Luna in the fall, I will be laser focused on serving this community grounded in service over self.
The mission starts now. Let’s get to work 🇺🇸
