Subpoena power shouldn't be used for revenge. It should be used to hand the American people the bill. The Watchdog Report's THE AGENDA on why every Trump investigation needs a price tag 👇 thewatchdogreport.substack.com/p/the-agenda...

THE AGENDA: Every Trump Investigation Needs a Price Tag
When Democrats get the gavel back, oversight can’t just prove Trump is corrupt. It has to show what that corruption costs every American.

A campaign ad paid for by the U.S. Treasury isn't a "public service announcement." It's a campaign contribution. New AGENDA via The Watchdog Report on the oversight Democrats need to launch before Nov. 3 👇 thewatchdogreport.substack.com/p/the-agenda...

When the economy is good, Republicans are successful at hijacking’s the debate with fear-mongering and culture wars. BUT when gas is $4.50 a gallon, inflation is rising, a war with no end in sight, the “strategy” of saying be scared of Abdul El Sayed ain’t gonna work.

Have you seen all the Republican campaigns and ads promoting Donald Trump’s big midterms convention promise to give voters $5k if they win? Oh wait. That’s right. No one believes it’s going to happen. #TrumpLies

No Republican running in a competitive race wants to share a stage with Donald Trump or put him in their ads. Republicans promised no more wars, no more inflation, lower gas prices, and historic economic prosperity. They set the expectations, in Nov they’ll be held accountable.

Republicans up and down the ballot from coast to coast are doing everything they can to avoid Donald Trump. None of them wanted to even risk going to the so-called midterm “convention” in Dallas. Folks like Maria Elvira Salazar can pretend they’re not Trump cronies but their record says otherwise.

Donald Trump & Republicans promised Americans that on Day 1, they'd end all the wars and launch an era of economic prosperity we've never seen. Instead, Americans got an #IranWar with no end in sight & the cost of living, housing, gas, utilities, food going up up up.

1.) not a single election outcome has been altered by “voter fraud” 2.) the USPS is financially insolvent, undermanned & not capable of determining who is allowed to vote and who isn’t. 3.) Old, white people & rural residents in red states vote by mail, #Trump is sabotaging his own core voters.

Are you more concerned about the word "socialist" OR are you more put-off by GOP-MAGA broken promises on wars, gas prices, energy costs, affordability, etc. I think the most dangerous word in this election is incumbent. Also, Ro Khanna's Data Center Bill of Rights is a BRILLIANT!

If you can't do the job 100% of the time, you need to step aside. Period. No other job in America would allow you to no-show for months, work-from-home for an unspecified amount of time, and collect a paycheck. McConnell's time is over and he needs to resign. Period.
