If you're angry because: -Inflation is high -Crime is rising -Migrants are invading -Fentanyl Overdoses are rising -The economy is bad The truth is: -Inflation isn't high, it is 2.6% -Crime has been falling for years and continues to fall -Border crossings are the lowest in over 4 years -Fentanyl overdoses are dropping rapidly -America has the best economy in the world You're actually angry about the endless lies designed to keep you upset, scared, and willing to support those who will make your life worse and take your rights away to "solve" these issues. Be angry at the people lying to you.

In 2005, George W. Bush tried to privatize Social Security. The more he talked about it, the less popular it became. Republicans are still trying to destroy Social Security, but now they want to do it sneakily, behind closed doors. We won't let them.

If anyone tries to destroy Social Security and steal our earned benefits, they will pay a heavy political price.

Am I missing something here or did Senate Democrats agree to leave four appellate court seats vacant for Trump to fill to avoid needing to stay up late? foxnews.com/politics/senate-…

Dr. Oz wants to fully privatize Medicare. That’s why Donald Trump put him in charge of Medicare. We will fight to stop this charlatan from getting anywhere near our Medicare system.

Folks, No, Trump doesn’t “define himself.” No he’s not a “walking campaign ad” No, not everyone knows he’s crazy and dangerous. In fact, swing voters remembered him fondly. And THATS because we spent all the money on positive ads. 👇👇👇👇

Replying to @tbonier
A shockingly high percentage of swing voters had a favorable impression, in retrospect, of Trump's first term. This is an absolute failure on our part, to allow Trump to rehabilitate his own image with low information swing voters.

Hey MAGA - get ready to pay more in junk fees because there is no way Trump or the Republican Congress is going to stand up to all of these predatory corporations trying to rip you off 👇

Hey Nancy Pelosi, take the words of John Fetterman to heart!!! “I think it’s really ironic that you have a woman at age 84 and she is still hanging on. Why not give a younger generation an opportunity to occupy that seat?”

Imagine there’s another pandemic, RFK Jr. would not approve a new vaccine. He could kill millions.
Trump is expected to nominate former presidential candidate and anti-vaccine activist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to lead the Department of Health and Human Services. @meridithmcgraw @ChelseaCirruzzo politico.com/news/2024/11/14…

Someone asked us why @GovBillLee is so hung up on vouchers, so here’s a clip we post every few months— Betsy Devos, who came to TN to help Lee, said their goal is to "Advance God's Kingdom”👇🏽 Funding private religious schools with public💰 is the plan.

SCOOP: Rep. Matt Gaetz resigned from Congress just two days before the House Ethics Committee was set to vote on releasing a “highly damaging” report outlining its investigation into Gaetz, sources tell me @bresreports & @JakeSherman. The panel no longer has jurisdiction when he leaves.

The US currently has 2% inflation, 4% unemployment, and has seen years of sustained real income growth. Americans are consuming more than ever before in history, eating out more, and taking more vacations. Our information environment is completely broken.
