The WH has posted on FB the video of a woman being murdered in order to foment hate and distract from their own crimes. I would like to see if we can get FB to take it down. I have submitted a report that the post depicts violence amd ask that you do the same if you have a FB account. 🙏🏻

Letting the health care tax credits expire would devastate American families — and we’re making that crystal clear by giving you the data. We’ve built graphics showing how much costs would rise in every GOP district. Let’s start with Mike Johnson (R-LA):

White woman puts Mexican flag on her truck to waste ICE’s time.

I am as white as a hotel towel, and the closest thing to Mexican I am was a single all inclusive resort stay in Cancun. I put a Mexican flag sticker on my old Tacoma abd was promptly pulled over by ICE in San Antonio. I'm happy to waste their time

Their big question was like, "why the sticker" I told them it was on the truck when I bought it-and they suggested I remove it. Obnoxious creatures.

Tariff pain is not shared equally: The less money you make, the more Trump's proposed higher taxes on imports will hurt. That does not mean middle-class or wealthy Americans are going to escape unscathed.

Trump tariffs would hit lower-income Americans hardest
