Hello from the #gulfofmexico side of FL, @sanders.senate.gov & @aoc.bsky.social! My family participated in the #sarasotanokings protest, & after looking at the numbers, we think you need to make a visit! #Tampa and #Sarasota had the highest numbers in the state, 15,000 & 9000 Floridians!

How much Elon Musk makes from the government a day: $8 million.

How much a senior on Social Security gets a day: $65

Guess which budget Musk and Trump want to cut?
