Reminder:

Noem gave $220 million of your tax dollars to a political consultancy group - that is closely tied to her own pockets - to create an ad campaign of her on horseback.

She refuses to answer questions about the expense b/c she insists she is entitled to spend DHS funds as she sees fit.

Consider:

A billionaire would not have had to donate $130m to pay the military if billionaires in the US paid the same tax rate that they did in the 80's.

In fact, if they did, ALL the programs Trump cut, including the ACA, would be easily funded.

All blue states. What a surprise. I guess all we can do is vote out every single Republican candidate for every office in those states since none of them will speak up or do anything. And the Appropriations Chair Susan Collins.

I’m confused how it is despicable to ask that question. These are exactly the kinds of questions we have been begging reporters & TV hosts to ask. You see when they do get asked how sensitive they are about it. Much, much more of this. More crypto questions, Qatar, UAE, etc bsky.app/profile/atru...
Q: How did the White House decide it was appropriate for Jared Kushner to be working on matters that involve Qatar, the UAE, Saudi Arabia -- 3 countries combined that have given him more than $2.5b

Fact: Undocumented immigrants are not even eligible to purchase the ACA coverage we’re trying to protect.

Republicans voted to hike costs and take health care away from American citizens.

Including their own constituents.

Read that again. Over and over.

Ok. So. A lot of congress will say they “submitted a letter to forgo pay during shutdown.”

Congress is paid once a month so they have 30 days. Secondly, they want you to believe they are saying they will give up their pay. No. They just hold it until it reopens
