"First we need to get everybody covered." Roy Cooper wants the ACA premium tax credits restored and Medicaid expanded across the country, plus a tax system "so that the wealthy pay their fair share." @RoyCooperNC@rolandsmartin https://t.co/LoPqhB1VrW
While Trump cut taxes for the rich, he tightened access to food stamps—with more than 5 million Americans losing benefits so far—and to Medicaid, the health-care program for the poor. https://t.co/ezJ4MDtbSA
Sure! Just recently in Pennsylvania: cut taxes on working families, provided universal free breakfast for public school students, created the Whole Home Repairs program, automatic voter registration, overturned Medicaid ban on abortion.
“This is typical of the Democrats. They just lie and make things up. I will not cut Social Security, Medicare, or Medicaid.”
4 months after this clip, Mike Lawler voted to cut Medicare and Medicaid in the One Big Ugly Bill.
#TheRealMikeLawler lied to you, #NY17.
Again.
In his new book (of course), Senator Thom Tillis says that top NC Republican leaders, as well as Governor Josh Stein, together told him directly that Trump's "One Big Beautiful Bill" would cost North Carolina almost $2 billion per year, every year, for a decade, kick hundreds of thousands of people off their Medicaid plans, and cripple rural hospitals. Their concerns helped convince Tillis to oppose the "OBBB" (albeit at the last moment).
For opposing his bill, Trump destroyed Tillis's career and vowed to primary him. And those same NC Republican leaders now refuse any comment and say they fully support Trump.

From @MLK50Memphis: “@BrentTaylorTN, 58 (looks older😬!), has a track record with many (Black) voters he is seeking to represent… With a Republican supermajority, Taylor (white) pushed through laws superseding power & priorities of local politicians.” https://t.co/nx5EqIIfr6
You need to understand how important this is. If @AmyActonOH wins, she could reject (veto) bad bills, but Republicans could override her veto & force bills to become law anyway
......unless Dems also pick up 6+ seats in the Ohio House
Vote D all the way DOWN BALLOT 🇺🇸
It should never be forgotten that Ken Paxton was a leader in the coup to nullify the election of Joe Biden. He filed a lawsuit in the Supreme Court to challenge the 2020 election results in Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan and Wisconsin even though he was the AG for Texas. His suit was quickly tossed by the Court. On January 7th Paxton claimed the insurrection of the previous day was the work of antifa. This lie was quickly disproven.
On the 7th 46 state attorneys general disavowed the violence of the 6th in a letter to the Acting Attorney General of the U.S. A few days later three more AGs sent their own letter in condemning the violent insurrection. Only Ken Paxton failed to sign either letter.
"Our endorsement of Acton rests on more than Ramaswamy’s failure to meet a basic standard of decency. She has earned consideration on her own record, her preparation and her commitment to the people she seeks to serve."
Cleveland Plain Dealer reverses their decision to stay neutral and endorses @amyactonoh — a true leader and public servant.

WaPo reports that a woman featured in a $1 million Republican ad warning that an Iowa Democrat running for congress is “dangerous” for children previously pleaded guilty to child endangerment after driving drunk with her two young kids in the car. https://t.co/zbvrlOBkDr
Zach Lahn re-registered to vote in Iowa in Oct 2024 — just in time to qualify to run for governor in 2026.
Lahn cast an Iowa ballot in 2024.
But previously unreported voting records show he requested it be mailed to him — in Kansas.

As a farmer of 50 years, this is embarassing.
This year one third of US farm income will have come from the taxpayers. The SAME taxpayers who are struggling at their own kitchen tables.
I cant afford it, but how ever this comes, I'm pushing half to my local shelter and food bank.
Good article today from the NYT. I have still yet to hear one good reason why we should get rid of a broad, multi purpose space to satisfy one thing and one thing only. It defies imagination and what PUBLIC space is meant to be.

Joe likes to lie about my values and my record to voters, but here’s what he really thinks about me. I've dedicated my life to my faith and overcoming difference. I'll do the same in Congress.
