Trump says we can’t afford to fund healthcare because we’re fighting wars (of choice). Thanks for saying the quiet part out loud. America has the money. It’s all about priorities. Nearly 8 million Americans have already lost coverage since 2025. #HealthcareNotWarfare
Courage in a sea of cowards
Our country is absolutely worth fighting for. “…The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming…” ✌🏼❤️✊🏼🇺🇸
Donald Trump along with his family and billionaire backers have all made BILLIONS of dollars while he has been in office. This level of Republican enabled corruption is unprecedented. It’s up to all of us to call BULLSHIT in November. #TrumpRepublicanCorruption
While millions of Americans struggle just to get by, the current occupant of the Oval Office only cares about himself. Between enriching himself, his family, and his billionaire backers, Trump’s focus is on maintaining power at any cost- including ending free and fair elections Show up, speak out
During a long rambling press conference in the Oval today, on news of Inflation rising to 4.2%, Trump blurts out “I love Inflation.” I for one am not a fan of Inflation, what about you??? #CantAffordTrump
While prices rise & inflation soars, millions of Americans struggle to make ends meet. But Trump, his family, and insiders continue to fleece the country and build their bank accounts. And the Republican controlled Congress, DOJ 🙄, and SCOTUS do nothing. See you in November #TrumpsCrimeFamily
Politics is about showing up, speaking out (singing out loud from the rafters), and fighting back. This show is the culmination of the energy permeating all across the country in the lead-up to November. And I’m in! Jumped on it quick and scored a ticket. This show will be 1,000% FIRE!!🔥 🔥🔥🔥 LFG!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 #PowerToThePeople ✌🏼❤️✊🏼💪🏼
Trump’s actions have driven up costs to Americans (unless you’re a Billionaire) and the Republican controlled Congress has done NOTHING to stop it. Now Trump is focused on rewarding supporters with $1.8 BILLION taxpayer funds. We need a Congress that will stop the steal. See you in November.
I have known and fought in the trenches with @kenmartin.bsky.social for years, he’s an F’n warrior. Since elected Chair to the DNC, lessons were learned, changes made, and we’ve been WINNING races all across the country. Stop focusing on the past. Focus and fight for the future. #ImWithKen LFG
He’s so arrogant he says the quiet part out very loud. In addition to enriching & memorializing himself he only cares about billionaires, bombs, & ballrooms. He doesn’t give a shit about us! And Republicans in Congress are enabling him. Let November be a reckoning, we matter!!! Show up & VOTE!
Folks, it’s all about priorities. Trump and his Republican enablers prioritize bombs, billionaires, and ballrooms. Meanwhile, most Americans struggle to make ends meet, and millions of them have lost their healthcare. We need to hold Republicans accountable in November. Show up & VOTE!
Breaking News! The Department of Justice (DOJ) is officially renaming and rebranding their department (following the lead of the DOD). The new DOK listed their Most Wanted criminal and threat to our nation’s security, while launching code name “Operation Agent 86” Stay safe, America
Lame Duck Desantis is at it again. He’s never met a law that he felt he needed to abide. Other states have gone to their voters to see if they approve of new maps. Desantis is actually going against the super majority’s actual vote on the matter! #NoIllegalFloridaMaps
Well, there he goes again… Desantis has never met a law he felt applied to him. To hell with the law and the will of Florida voters, this lawless lunatic will do whatever he wants- the law and voters be damned. #StopIllegalFloridaMaps
These are unprecedented times that call for unprecedented action. Trump started this fight in Texas trying to rig the elections (via Republican elected officials) Virginia will end this fight via the Democratic process and let the VOTERS decide. #VoteYesVirginia
Trump started this fight in Texas with his MAGA Republican elected officials. Virginia is finishing the fight via the will of the people. #VirginiaVotesYes
While Florence Lyingale continues to try and gaslight our country, the truth is his reckless & dangerous policies and endless foreign wars have cost millions of Americans the loss of their healthcare. #HealthcareNotTrumpsWar
Donald Trump and his MAGA administration are trying to rig (and steal) the Midterm elections (see: Texas Gerrymandering)… But we are fighting back, state-by-state one election at a time. #VoteYesVirginia
Thou dost think that Trump stepped into the ring against someone with much higher powers. #PopeADope
Trump’s terrible decisions end up costing all of us in the end. Day by day those decisions and losses get bigger and bigger, affecting our country and continues to destabilize the world’s markets and safety as well. It’s up to all of us to stop this madness starting in November. Show up and VOTE!
So what you’re saying is we have these guys negotiating peace 🤷🏻‍♂️
Taking back our country requires folks to show up one election at a time. Right now, the next big fight is in Virginia. Ok, VA voters LFG!!! #VirginiaIsForVotingYes
Donald Trump either called for the MASS MURDER of a nation of 93 million human beings, or he us full of shit! Our country is (or should be) better than this. And those who are complicit are just as guilty of crimes against humanity. 🤬
Virginia voters have real power right now — the kind that can actually change the balance of Congress before November. That window closes April 21. Vote YES while you still can. #VirginaVoteYes
The Mad King (wanna be) is perfectly happy for he and his family to Vote By Mail but not anyone else. “VBM for me but not for thee!” #TrumpVotedByMail (and his family did too)
The mad wanna-be-King has taken yet another step at shredding the Constitution and setting up a Federal vs State’s rights Constitutional Crisis. Today, the Hypocrite-in-Chief signed a B.S. executive order to take away our right to VBM, meanwhile… #TrumpVotedByMail 🤬
MAGA candidate for Guv of PA, Stacy “Let Them Eat Cake” Garrity partied like it was 1789 at Mar a Lago with Millionaires kissing the ring of her wanna-be-king, Donald Trump. Meanwhile, back in PA THOUSANDS are losing their Healthcare, gas & food costs are skyrocketing, and endless war rages on.

Trump and Republicans promised no more endless wars and lower prices. What did we get instead? Billionaire Bailouts, bombs, coverups, and soaring prices. Americans have had enough! #HealthcareNotWarfare
Instead of spending BILLIONS dropping bombs on other countries in endless wars, how about we wage war on CANCER and other diseases to actually SAVE LIVES? #HealthcareNotWarfare
The Stock Market is plunging. Gas prices are soaring. Spending is through the roof. People are dying. The US economy is crashing. #UnderTrumpGasStinks
Says the guy who has NEVER EVER pumped gas in a car. More burden on working people to benefit the rich! The affordability burden is much more than gasoline- how about fertilizer for crops, materials, and much more. And then there’s the human cost! #GreedyBillionaires #TrumpsGasProblem
Says the guy who has NEVER EVER pumped gas in a car. Raised in a limo his entire life, Trump has NO IDEA what it means to pay for gas. Spoiler Alert: Trump Doesn’t care about you. He doesn’t care about us. #TrumpsGasProblem
So we are at war with Iran because Trump had a feeling. I have a feeling he was looking for every and any way to distract from the Epstein Files and now we are all paying the price. Death and destruction all across the Middle east with soaring prices and a crashing economy back here in America.
For Trump, every crisis he creates turns into a new distraction. Healthcare losses- tear down East Wing Epstein Files- bomb Iran (Part 1) ICE kills Americans- invade Venezuela Epstein Files- bomb Iran (Part 2) Tens of thousands of jobs lost- Cuba! #TrumpsJobsSlump
The Save Act is NOT just a simple Voter ID. #SaveActTaxesYourVote
In preparation for tonight’s SOTU, the meter is ready and a few quick facts. Trump’s Tariffs (taxes) are both illegal (SCOTUS says so) and a super majority of Americans hate them (& ICE too). Groceries are sky high. So is healthcare. For the record, the SOTU is chaotic. #TrumpsStateOfDelusion
Folks, this is not a hoax or a drill… Donald Trump has been signaling his desperation and fear of the midterm elections and will stop at nothing to prevent the pending Blue Tsunami coming in November. We all need to continue to show up, speak up, and fight back. And we definitely need to VOTE!!
Many Americans are calling for changing the name of the Epstein Files to the Trump Files. #TheTrumpFiles
Trump promised to bring grocery prices, utilities, and healthcare costs down. (Heck he even promised to end the Ukraine war in one day.) Grocery and utility prices are through the roof. Millions have lost their healthcare as prices soar. #TrumpflationSucks
ICE atrocities are spreading across the country faster than RFK Jr’s measles’s outbreaks. We need to do something to stop both!!! #FundHealthcareOverICE
Proof that MAGA Mike has no soul. “Some have complained the force has been excessive… I don’t know.” Johnson dismisses people beaten, shot, detained, and terrorized by the state. Shrugging at violence from the Speaker’s chair signals approval. #FundHealthcareOverICE
Americans are being killed in broad daylight, Innocent citizens are being pulled from their automobiles and homes, CHILDREN are being taken and locked up… ALL in front a thousands of witnesses (and millions of observers) 🤬 Keep showing up, speaking up, and fighting back. It’s time to #ReformICE now

Our country has a Constitution and Bill of Rights. Check that, our country is supposed to have a Constitution and Bill of Rights but one by one they are being (violently) ripped away. #NoWarrantNoICE
Bovino, Noem, Miller… Someday your times will come. We will see you in court. You will be held accountable and Justice will be served.
“Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.” Mr. Rogers Alex Pretti was an American citizen and registered nurse who cared for Veterans at his local VA. In his memory and honor #FundHealthcareStopICE #EmpathyIsOurSuperPower
Trump has an unhealthy obsession with awards. Here’s a few he actually deserves World’s Greatest Liar World’s Greatest Grifter World’s Biggest Hypocrite World’s Biggest Offender of Taking His Eyes Off The Ball What other awards does he deserve, fellow social warriors???
With grocery (and healthcare) prices soaring, Trump and his MAGA administration make King Louis XVI and his wife Marie Antoinette look like amateurs. While MILLIONS of Americans struggle to get by or even feed their families, Trump and his Billionaire backers party on without a care in the world.
hy·poc·ri·sy /həˈpäkrəsē/ noun 1. the practice of claiming to have moral standards or beliefs to which one's own behavior does not conform; pretense. 🙄 (…and none of this is lowering healthcare or food costs for struggling Americans 😡)
2025 was a year filled with HUGE wins, major flips & upset victories, and significant losses for Trump and his MAGA movement- all the way until the last day of the year. 2026 is the year we take our country back, starting with Congress. We all need to continue to speak up, show up, and VOTE!
“Now that Obama’s poll numbers are in a tailspin- watch for him to launch a strike on Libya or Iran. He is desperate.” Donald Trump 10/9/2012 🙄 From the Epstein files to his cratering poll numbers, Trump continues to distract and enrich himself while his MAGA Repub-controlled Congress does nothing.
