South Carolinians deserve to hear their candidates debate face to face. The clock is ticking, Darline. Will you debate Dr. Annie Andrews? #DebateMeDarline https://t.co/54zkYZmu7X
@RonFilipkowski@Acyn I would almost guarantee it.
But someone DID tank the markets, spike our healthcare and gas prices, start new wars, bomb 7 countries in 14 months, and tariff tax us to death.
WHO did that?
Donald Trump owes the people of Illinois $8,679,261,600.
That's $1,700 owed to every household.
We're done waiting, @realDonaldTrump โ cut the checks.

Trumpโs new budget adds an extra $500 billion to fund wars abroad โ about $3,700 more for every household in America โ while cutting health, jobs, housing, and education.
Put simply, it takes more of your money for foreign wars, while making life in America even more unaffordable.
When Americans stand up and fight for justice, we win.
We took on a king.
We ended slavery.
We built unions.
We won voting rights.
We secured LGBTQ rights.
Again and again, Americans fought back โ and won.
We can do it again.

๐จ๐จSENATOR RICK SCOTT
I DON'T WANT TO BE POOR AWARD HE IS WORTH HALF A BILLION๐๐
How does Rick Scott become the Florida Governor for two terms and then a Senator when his company pleaded guilty for defrauded the US Government. ๐ค
"Company Guilt: Columbia/HCA pleaded GUILTY to 14 felonies and agreed to pay over $1.7 billion in criminal fines, civil penalties, and damages in what was, at the time, the largest healthcare fraud settlement in U.S. history.
Nature of Fraud: The company admitted to systematically overcharging the government, filing false data, inflating the severity of illnesses to increase billing, and paying kickbacks to doctors to refer patients.
Rick Scott's Role: While Scott was CEO, he was never personally charged with a crime. However, he was pressured to resign in 1997 after federal agents raided company facilities.
Aftermath: Despite the scandal, Scott left the company with a $9.88 million settlement and held roughly $350 million in stock.
Depositions: During a 2000 civil lawsuit deposition related to the case, Scott pleaded the Fifth Amendment 75 times."
You only plead the Fifth Amendment not to incriminate yourself ๐ค
BLATANT CORRUPTION โผ๏ธ
๐คทโโ๏ธ WATCH: The White House took down this video, but we still have it.
Trump: We can't take care of daycare. We're a big country. We're fighting wars. It's not possible for us to take care of daycare, Medicaid, Medicare, all these things.
Today is the first ever #JaneGoodallDay! ๐
On what would've been Dr. Jane Goodall's 92nd birthday, we reflect on her incredible work and commitment to protecting nature.
Let's honor Jane's legacy by seeking to understand more, care more, and act to save the environment. ๐
Sec. Hegseth fired over 20 top generals and admirals, including a top Army general who served 7 presidents this week.
Purging generals to settle personal or political vendettas is what happens in China or Russia, not America.
