Trump said he had a strong game plan to keep energy markets stable. The plan failed. Oil is soaring. Gas is climbing. Families are suffering. A strong game plan does not create economic chaos. A strong game plan does not require emergency meetings to fix its own damage. #TrumpsGasProblem

Another American Killed in Trump’s War Is Identified β€œSadly, there will likely be more before it ends. That’s the way it is,” Trump said earlier about the rising death toll.

Our hearts are with the family & friends of Sgt. Benjamin Pennington, 26, lost March 8 in an Iranian attack at Prince Sultan AB. Those killed & wounded in Trump's War in Iran aren't just numbers. We remember who they were and all they gave to our nation.

Don’t buy it.

The SAVE Act was never just about voter ID. It’s about pressure, who gets flagged, who gets pushed off the rolls, and who has to jump through hoops to prove they belong in this democracy.

πŸ“Œ Trump’s putting the heat on Republicans to pass it.

Yesterday, I was verbally assaulted while picking up my medicine.

Think about all of the people you know whose mind has been poisoned by Donald Trump.
There are families who haven't spoken to each other in years because of him.

In preparation for tonight’s SOTU, the meter is ready and a few quick facts.

Trump’s Tariffs (taxes) are both illegal (SCOTUS says so) and a super majority of Americans hate them (& ICE too).

Groceries are sky high. So is healthcare. 

For the record, the SOTU is chaotic.

My State of the Union prediction: Trump is going to try to break the length record (again) because he thinks longer equals winning.

14 million households now owe past due utility bills. Trump didn’t create an energy boom - he created an affordability crisis that leaves families choosing between heat and hunger. This isn’t leadership - it’s neglect. #TrumpAffordabilityChaos

Trump promised a booming economy. Instead, we got higher bills and daily drama.

Guaranteed during his State of the Union address, he will tell us the bills we are paying are a hoax.

If the President is coming all the way to Rome and Dalton, it’s because Georgia voters are making noise.

Meanwhile the GOP field is busy auditioning for Trump instead of working for Georgians. Voters see it β€” and they’re over it. #GA14

The current affordability crisis is not an accident or a natural economic cycle. It is the direct result of specific policies enacted by Donald Trump and his Republican allies in Congress. Their choices made your life more expensive. #TrumpflationSucks

ICE's budget could fund the ACA (healthcare) extension and expand Medicaid to millions. Instead, it funds home invasions, family separation, and killing protesters. Republicans made this choice for you. Remember in November... #FundHealthcareOverICE

ICE is Trump’s Gestapo.

It operates outside the law to stifle political dissent & deny due process to both Americans & immigrants.

It’s filled with the white nationalist & criminals who have no regard for our constitution or human life

We must get #ICEoffOurStreets now!

American cities are being invaded!

Families across the country are living in fear.
The federal government is abducting and brutalizing people, including clergy.

ICE savages are executing American citizens for the mere act of recording them.

I am furious at the gaslighting. Republicans caused healthcare premiums to skyrocket and now say it's unfixable. A three-year ACA extension proves that a lie. It is fixable. They just lack the will. #RepublicanHealthcareDisaster

23.01.2026 21:25 πŸ‘ 707 πŸ” 220 πŸ’¬ 39 πŸ“Œ 10

The Republican agenda:

Terminate the tax credits that make healthcare affordable, creating panic as premiums double. Simultaneously, increase the budget for ICE's violent, often illegal, home invasion tactics.

Vote them all out in November! #FundHealthcareNotICE

This was reported as being the emergency call & video by the wife of the man who was shot in Minnesota tonight & based on this call, it appears that DHS is lying yet again.

I have trouble hearing everything they're saying but did a little translation so you can understand what's being said.

How much extra are you paying for health insurance now? Senate Republicans are doing nothing about your rising healthcare costs β€” while pretending they have a right to run Venezuela and extract their resources. Is that what you voted for?

Stay focused on what Republicans are taking away from you.
