Despite the noise, Saturday’s “No Kings Rally” isn’t anti-American, it’s pro-democracy. 🇺🇸 Let’s show up in red, white & blue to prove it! This movement stands for freedom, unity, and the power of the people to protect America’s democratic spirit. #NoKings #FreedomForAll thehill.com/homenews/sta...

Thank you Senator Chris Murphy for taking charge and voicing strong opposition to the GOP budget plan and forcing Senators’ opinions be recorded for all to see.

If tariffs are so great, then businesses shouldn’t hesitate to show exactly how those costs are baked into the prices we pay. I figured Bezos would back off when the WH pushed back. Others should step up though, be honest with consumers & show the true cost of tariffs. We deserve transparency.

The new American Dream: Pay $500K to the government and skip the line. This administration has officially launched an “Executive Branch” for the ultra-wealthy, while the rest of us get our services slashed and our rights stripped. This isn’t leadership, it’s legalized looting!

It’s mind-boggling to see people call themselves pro-life while showing little concern for the lives of those babies after they’re born. It’s not about protecting life, it’s about controlling women and forcing them into roles they may not choose for themselves. The hypocrisy is deafening!

Farmers have taken a hit under Trump’s policies. His trade war and massive tariffs on U.S. crops, labor shortages due to migrant expulsion, withdrawal from trade agreements, and his cuts to USDA programs have all played a roll in this. Votes have consequences, especially for rural America.

They say the American courts can do anything about it. Of course, we all know Trump could get him back in a heartbeat. But he won’t, because he’s heartless!

Some good news…Illinois has returned 1,500 acres of land to the Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation. The transfer signifies a meaningful step in the Land Back movement, honoring the enduring connection between the Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation and their ancestral homeland.

Sadly, that is irrelevant since we’re all Americans and this is about our national security. I am terrified for all of our military personnel, regardless of their political affiliation.

I agree! It’s remarkable to know that more than half of our country chose a convicted felon, known liar, cheater and rapist over a highly intelligent, authentic, compassionate woman. Disappointed in humanity.
