US President “Farty-Seven”: The G7 used to be the G8. Barack Obama and a person named Trudeau didn’t want to have Russia in. One problem with his lie: Russia was removed from the G8 in 2014 following their invasion of Crimea. Justin Trudeau did not become Prime Minister of Canada until late 2015🤦🏽‍♂️

Just a day before it was set to retire for economic reasons, the Trump administration ordered a dirty Pennsylvania power plant to continue operating. This will do nothing to lower costs for us and will only keep energy expensive and make our air dirtier. Trump is Making America Polluted Again.

My heart breaks for the death of this empathetic, caring Minnesota State Senator, Mellissa Hortman who was murdered by a radical right wing religious extremist. She is tearful about the prospect of her constituents losing their healthcare. The best of humanity! 💦 www.tiktok.com/t/ZTjtmpEFE/

🇺🇸 We all deserve the freedom to build a good life. But MAGA Republicans are making that harder –— cutting the very programs working people rely on, all to give billionaires another tax break. When we stand together, we can protect our freedoms and build an America that works for everyone.

The #BillionaireTaxScam just keeps getting worse. Senate Republicans are now trying to sell-off millions of acres of federal lands. These lands belong to us — the American people — not to polluters and private interests. Call your senators at 202-224-3121 and tell them to kill this extreme bill.
