Tell me Trump isn't a #PayToPlayPresident when this is who he is hobnobbing with while everyday Americans can barely afford food, gas and health care. We need a government that is of, for and by the people not the billionaires and trillionaire. Vote his Republican enablers out.

Trump says he would have won California “if that were an honest system.” 🤣 Millions of Californians voted and he lost, so now their ballots are the scam? 🤷🏻‍♀️ A president whose orbit runs on pay-to-play deals has no business trashing your vote. #USDemocracy #PayToPlayPresident #VoteBlue

A new Trump ad says “we will hunt you down” and “we will kill you,” then tells Iranians their government is “yours to take.” Taxpayers are footing the bill for a war promo on Fox while families struggle with gas prices. Who signed off on that? #PayToPlayPresident

They want us poor and desperate! Sen Patty Murray calls Trump’s $810M pocket rescission “theft from the American people, plain and simple.” He canceled housing counseling and health research already signed into law, while families drown in high costs caused by HIS tariffs + war. #PayToPlayPresident

The fine print on TN's school voucher app? Parents must sign away their child's right to special ed support. Most voucher-participating schools have NO licensed special ed staff. The program that claims to expand families' "choice" is removing protections for some of TN's most vulnerable children.

His whole life, Trump has always had someone else around to bail him out of the messes he creates: his father, Allen Weisselberg, the "adults in the room" in his first term. Now all those protectors are gone and he is openly begging for someone to save him from his own folly.
