Healthcare for all, vote blue. Remember that Republicans don’t care about you or your family. After 1973, Wall Street took notice of the HMO model permitting by GOP legislation. Private capital poured in, and numerous non-profit HMOs converted into for-profit entities.
Reminder: until 1973 most Health Insurance Companies were non-profit. Republicans changed that, now they profit $25 billion a year off your health.

Trump & the GOP have nothing to offer America! Democratic candidate Mary Peltola is fighting to lower costs, to fix the rigged system, and to protect Alaska fisheries. Join the movement and support Mary Peltola for a better future for all of us. #YourVote = #YourVoice = #YourFuture
Don't believe Trump's election season lies. He & the GOP have nothing to offer America!

Trump touted big economic projects in two key Senate states this week. Both announcements soon crumbled.

Don't believe Trump's lies. Believe that Josh Turek is fighting for affordable living, health care access, and a protected environment. He stands for public education and against school vouchers. Support Josh Turek for Senate! In 2026, #YourVote = #YourVoice = #YourFuture

The Trump administration is repealing a regulatory rule that prevents power plants from releasing hundreds of millions of gallons of toxic mercury & arsenic into the nation’s drinking waters. The GOP doesn’t care about your family’s health — only about big business & making rich people richer!

Billionaires & corporate businessmen are not currently working for the “common good” and don’t care about the wellbeing of your family or neighbors. We must force them to realign business practices to protect democracy & working Americans!
Business owner: “I got rich through hard work”
Worker: “Whose Though”

Still true after all these years!

Random Saturday thoughts…
We’re currently spending $75 billion to arrest Latinos.going to work and not a single dime to to arrest anyone in the Epstein Files.
Let’s treat the billionaires named in the   
Epstein files the same way ICE treats random pain the street - lock them up in a tiny cage until we get it all sorted out.

Trump is certainly the most expensive president in US History! The costs in treasury, reputation, and in “affordability” costs to each & every household is almost incalculable. We will be paying for Trump’s chaos & fraud over the next decades. MAGA the gift that keeps on giving !!
#NoKings 3 rallies were big in rural America in March 2026. Man holds an “Impeach Trump” sigh at the #NoKings protest at the town square in Keene, New Hampshire.A nation that can fund war instantly, but debates funding healthcare has a values problem, not a budget problem.
