Trump wants to pay women $5k to have kids — while gutting Medicaid and the ACA. The average cost of giving birth without insurance is $13,393 for vaginal delivery and $22,646 for C-sections. He’s wants more births while making it unaffordable to have, let alone raise, a kid.

DOGE claims to have cut $155 billion in spending, but can only prove that it cut $12.6 billion. The Trump administration has increased government spending by $154 billion compared to this time last year. DOGE is the waste and fraud. doge.muskwatch.com

Trump is shredding our Constitution and tanking our economy. Thom Tillis lacks the courage to stand up to him — I’ll be damned if I’m going to sit on the sidelines. I’m running to fight for a better future for North Carolinians. Join our campaign — let’s take back the Senate.

As Members of Congress, we can do more than just disagree or do an interview or send out a tweet. We can demand that the funding that we appropriated for these departments should be spent in the way that it was intended.

Forcing people to pay $130 for a passport in order to vote is just a Jim Crow poll tax by another name. It is blatantly unconstitutional.

Donald Trump was recorded in the Oval Office happily bragging about how much money his billionaire buddies made off of his shady tariff scheme. (Insider trading amuses and delights this group.) “He made $2.5 million today, and he made $900 million! That’s not bad,” Trump said, pointing to…

The only reason this chaos continues is because the Republicans in Congress are allowing it. The House and Senate are actively involved in destroying our democracy and economy.

Social Security lost 7,000 employees over the last two months under Trump and Musk. They are planning to fire thousands more and shut down offices across the country. Our elders and people living with disabilities deserve dignity and respect. Not this. We must keep fighting to stop these cuts!

People have been screaming for action from Dems for over 2 months Recognize when Dems stand up & push back. You may want more, but it won’t come if you scorn any & all action. Offer some kind of public “payoff,” & more people will stand up. Don’t fall into yet another Democratic purity test.
