Trump’s golf habit has already cost American taxpayers nearly $71 million since his return to the Oval Office in January, and is expected to total more than $300 million by the time his second term ends.
Trump’s Golf Habit Is Costing Taxpayers a Fortune
The president is setting records on the golf course—though not the kind he’s likely to brag about.

This is not a peace plan. It is a proposal that weakens Ukraine and divides America from Europe, preparing the way for a larger war in the future. In the meantime, it benefits unnamed Russian and American investors, at the expense of everyone else.

I'm proud that my tax dollars help feed families, and I'm not going to waste my time defending why.
Caring for kids, seniors, and people with disabilities shouldn't be controversial. Feeding families is patriotic.

Someone asked me today why I’m running for Congress instead of a local office.
My answer’s twofold:
The economy is built for the haves at the expense of the have-nots — but grassroots candidates can build one that works for all of us.
And honestly? I’m tired of looking up and being disappointed.

We CAN fund healthcare, AND SNAP, AND pay our federal workers at the same time.
This is rocket science, it basic fairness.
It’s beyond frustrating to see our politicians forget that. But a system that caters to greed will never let decency and dignity prevail.
It’s up to us to change that.

Republicans like Wittman love to pretend they love our country, but there’s nothing patriotic about tax breaks for billionaires while families can’t afford basic care.
Real patriotism is believing America can do better — that we can take care of every person in this country with dignity & fairness.
