The Speaker just had us vote to rename the Gulf of Mexico as retirement accounts are tanking, prices are up, and our small businesses are wondering if they can survive the trade war.
There are so many other bills we could bring to the floor that would solve real problems.

Long before Trump, a study by Princeton found that the vast majority of legislation passed in Washington helped companies and the wealthy, not average Americans. Unfortunately, this falls on the shoulders of Dems as well as Republicans.
Republiban priorities:
📌Tax cuts for richest responsible for the majority of national debt
📌Gut and end programs for the majority to hand corporate welfare to richest
📌 Reward defense contractors,t donors & special interest groups who are writing the bills

The only thing he has is executive orders and firing his own people.

Worcester police and ICE are disgraceful.
🚨 Disturbing footage shows the brutal arrest of a terrified 16-year-old girl—sobbing, screaming as “ICE agents” abducted her mom without a warrant or ID. At least 4 grown men slammed her face into the pavement.
This is child abuse.
This is state terror.
Worcester police are complicit.

If they don't show identification they are just criminals kidnapping people in broad daylight and we the people should react accordingly. Especially if your skin is white like mine.

ICE dragged a mother from her home in Massachusetts—clinging to her baby—without showing a warrant or ID.
When neighbors demanded proof, ICE sneered, “We don’t have to show you anything.”
That’s not law enforcement. That’s state-sponsored kidnapping.
This is fascism & it’s terrifying.
