Trump’s unhinged and dangerous threats should shock the conscience of every American. The House must come back into session immediately — TODAY — and vote to end this reckless war.

Veterans already face so many obstacles when in need of medical care. To see VA hospitals reporting even more severe staffing shortages is gutting. Lauren Boebert voted to cut VA funding because she doesn't view caring for veterans as her job. Well, I disagree. Let's vote her out. wapo.st/45G9oj4
wapo.st
Every VA medical center has severe staffing shortages, audit finds
All of the Veterans Health Administration’s 139 facilities reported lacking workers, and reports of severe shortages increased 50 percent from the previous fiscal year.

This administration will give billion-dollar handouts to corporations – but pinch pennies when it comes to our students. Gutting after-school programs only creates further challenges for our teachers, students, and working families.

President Trump's Birthday Parade will cost taxpayers up to $45M. Trump thinks Americans who died for our country in war are "losers" and "suckers." Today's vanity project isn't about celebrating our military; it's to boost his ego. It's a waste of time, money, and resources.

RFK Jr. says the CDC will no longer recommend COVID vaccines for healthy pregnant women. Yet doctors have found that stillbirths can result from COVID directly infiltrating the placenta — even for people whose COVID symptoms were mild or nonexistent. @deldeib.bsky.social‬'s story from 2022:
propublica.org
“God, No, Not Another Case.” COVID-Related Stillbirths Didn’t Have to Happen.
A lack of testing data and government guidance led many to avoid the COVID-19 vaccine during pregnancy, unwittingly increasing their chances of a stillbirth.
