If Pete Hegseth recommended mobilizing the National Guard, he needs to resign now. The job is too big for him. I'm concerned that these actions can come right here to Dalton, West Rome, Cedartown, and all the other small towns across Georgia.

The current federal tax system disproportionately favors billionaires and burdens the working class, while enabling the ultra-wealthy to exploit loopholes, exacerbating income inequality and undermining the principle that no one should be taxed into poverty… In other words, we are footing the bill.

The Republican Bill for Donald Trump's tax scam will leave nearly 11 million people without health care. It is projected to add $2.4 trillion to the national debt over the next 10 years and contradicts claims by the White House and Republican leaders that the bill won't worsen the national debt.

Trump and the MAGA GOP are destroying our schools system. Instead of using taxpayer dollars to fund vital public school programs, they are diverting tax resources to private charter and religious schools. Hands Off Public Schools social.demcast.com/s/swQA3mJ4

Tucked inside the House GOP tax bill? A massive national voucher program. $5B/year in tax credits to subsidize private & religious schools—$20B over 4 years. Public money, zero oversight. A backdoor defund of public education masked as “choice.” Hands Off Public Schools

Republicans are trying to defund education because an ignorant population is easier to control. Let's be clear: we won't let them win. We won't stop fighting till they take their hands off public schools.

🛑 Hands Off Public Schools I’m Not Falling for the GOP Scam. Are you? 📌 “Republicans care about public schools” – That’s why they’re banning books and slashing budgets, right? 📌 “Trump’s just cutting waste and fraud” – If you believe that, you haven’t been paying attention 🧵

While Trump’s cronies gut public education, Sen. Elizabeth Warren is demanding answers—and they’re running scared. Linda McMahon bailed on the Senate forum. Why? Because they know this agenda is indefensible. We see you. We won’t back down. Hands Off Public Schools

Hands Off Public Schools! Public schools are the heart of our communities — where every child deserves a safe, well-funded, and honest education. Extremist agendas have no place in our classrooms. We trust our educators. We value facts. We demand investment, not interference.

Arizona was the first state with universal vouchers in 2021 and it diverted hundreds of millions from Arizona public schools and left the state with a budget deficit... Contact your Senators & Representative NOW and tell them to vote AGAINST cuts to public schools! Hands Off Public Schools!!

Did you vote to have your kids' public schools defunded? That's exactly what Trump is trying to do with his Big Beautiful Bill. Pls call Congress at (202) 224-3121, provide your zip code and they will connect you with your Reps or Senators. Tell them to keep their greedy Hands Off Public Schools

The Trump bill treats public schools as a piggy bank that it can break to fund tax cuts for the wealthy and create chaos for schools across the country even as we watch how disastrously voucher programs have gone nationwide. #HandsOffPublicSchools

Trump and Betsy DeVos want to force school vouchers into all states—including in Michigan. That’s not an education plan. I said on @npr.org these schemes send middle class kids into subprime pop-up schools—while giving new tuition subsidies to the rich. www.npr.org/2025/05/29/n...

The truth is out: Republicans are waging war on our healthcare system, putting profits over people and targeting Medicaid and Medicare. They're taking away access to life-saving medication, long-term care, and essential healthcare services. They must be stopped because HEALTH CARE CUTS KILL PEOPLE
