Rob really wants you to believe him when he says that burning dinosaurs will lower your energy costs. Like his tenure as our representative, it’s just WRONG. HR1 will *increase* your costs, not lower them! Also, there’s an interesting “tell” in this message. Let’s dive in...

VA is creating its own program to replace SNAP during the shutdown. Predictably, Youngkin blames Dems. Reminder: this is manufactured anger. USDA has the money for SNAP & they *can* distribute it, but the Trump regime has told them they can't. Create a crisis and blame others for it: it's the R way.

When people at the top talk about “short term pain” from tariffs–they aren’t talking about their own pain.
They’re talking about working people's pain–when folks will lose their homes, health care, and not be able to put food on the table.

A Life-Changing Scientific Study Ended by the Trump Administration
Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., declared chronic diseases an “existential threat.” Then his agency terminated one of the world’s longest-running diabetes trials.
