this is very clear: if you claim christianity but don't follow the teachings of Jesus, you aren't a christian, you are a fraud and a heretic.
if you claim to be an American, but don't follow the Constitution and you undermine democracy, you aren't a patriot, you are a fraud and a traitor.

US trading partners agreed to US IP rules to receive tariff free access to US markets. Now that tariffs have been reimposed, those countries should rescind those anticonsumer IP rules.

Madeline helps get fresh produce to local food pantries in Skagit County.
Trump & Elon cut federal funding that helps stock food banks with products from local farmers.
Families go hungry, farmers lose out, and why? More tax cuts for billionaires, of course.

Trump's tariffs are a massive tax that YOU will pay.
That means higher prices and serious pain for families and small businesses across our country.
Repost if you agree Republicans need to join Democrats and vote to END the chaos & REVERSE these reckless tariffs.
