Where’s the lie
I'm tired of this theater where Donald Trump asks Republicans to do something, they seem to push bank and then cave. The only two factions of the current GOP are proud MAGA and scared MAGA. Anyone who thinks Republicans are acting in good faith is delusional.

Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.
This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.
Remember this before you order your next pumpkin spice latte.

I work in this district and this was pure hard work. Drey knocked on doors and talked to people EVERY DAY. Democrats—this is the way. The only way.
HUGE FLIP: Democrat Catelin Drey wins deep-red state Senate seat in Iowa, breaking the GOP's supermajority.
Drey won by 11 points in a district Donald Trump carried by 11 points last year. It's another massive overperformance. The Iowa GOP should be very worried for the midterms.

I was born an underdog. 21 surgeries by the age of 12 for spina bifida. A kid wearing goodwill hand-me-downs. I knew nothing would come easy, but I never doubted my right to the American dream.
Now, I'm running for the U.S. Senate to make sure all Iowans have a shot at theirs.

I want to know how many of the 147,000 jobs created last month were so-called ICE “agents.” Because this seems to be a full employment program for any a-hole with a grunt style t-shirt and a racist ideology.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

17 million people are at risk of losing their health care thanks to the Senate’s big, ugly budget bill.
Lives are at risk. People could be forced to ration medicine or not seek health care at all.
This budget is a cruel attack on workers everywhere.

Wondering why people can’t recognize this pattern by now. He undoes the work of smarter, more competent people, creates a crisis, then tries to re-create the original solution and take credit for it. EVERY. TIME.
FACT - The JCPOA negotiated by Obama in 2015:
Reduced Iran's stockpile of enriched uranium
Limited the number of centrifuges
International monitoring of nuclear facilities.
In 2018, Trump withdrew the U.S. from the agreement.
People are dead in this "crisis" because of Trump.

Trump told West Point cadets at their graduation that he wouldn't be able to shake their hands, a tradition among US presidents, because he had urgent matters to deal with on China and Russia.
This was him "dealing" with China and Russia moments later. He went golfing.

This flew under the radar, but thanks to Trump's EPA cuts, Energy Star could shut down for good.
Energy Star isn't just a sticker on your appliances. It's an important program that saves consumers $40B/year.
So much for all that talk about "efficiency."
