For 33 years, McConnell has voted against family and medical leave for working Americans. Then he disappears from the Senate for 92 days and keeps collecting his full paycheck. Apparently, paid leave is only a problem when someone else gets it.

So our military is running out of long range munitions. Our sailors are running out of food. Our economy has lost jobs in 6 of the 18 months since Trump came back to office. And this dude spends TWO HOURS today on a call trying to put his name on the Kennedy Center. He’s only awake 3 hours a day!

MORE THAN 98% of the Republicans in Congress voted last year to: 1) Cut one TRILLION dollars from Medicaid: 2) Give roughly that amount in tax cuts to the richest 1% of Americans. 3) Give ICE a bigger budget than the U.S. Marine Corps. When you vote GOP, you vote to let Trump act like a King.

The data center industry wants us to continue their sales tax exemption through 2035 because the amount of money they keep from it annually grows exponentially. That’s billions of $ we need to offset the damage of HR1 to Medicaid, the ACA, SNAP, etc. We need that money to fix roads and feed kids.

Exports of U.S. farm products declined by 60% after the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act of 1929. Countries retaliated with tariffs of their own, then turned to other sources for key U.S. farm products—such as wheat, pork, and cotton. Exports did not fully rebound until after World War II.

What a line from the Pope! I am so pleased he is carrying on Pope Francis’ advocacy for immigrants.
More pointedly, the pope said, "Someone who says, I'm against abortion, but is in favor of the death penalty is not really pro-life. Someone who says, I'm against abortion but I'm in agreement with the inhuman treatment of immigrants in the United States, I don't know if that's pro-life."
