The amount the Trump regime has spent waging war on Iran could have... -Funded free school lunches for every child -Lowered health insurance premiums for 20 million people -Doubled the National Park Service budget -Fully funded public radio and television ...with money left over. Priorities.
Prices are soaring. Servicemen and women lack support and leadership. Small businesses and farmers are hurting, and there's no end in sight to Trump's war with Iran.
Pete Hegseth is a "disgrace" and a "clear and present danger" to our country and our servicemen and women who are fighting Trump's war.
The Trump administration is asking Congress for another $73 billion to put toward their disastrous Iran War...all while telling the American people there's "no money" for anything else. We think their priorities are a little screwed up—and most Americans agree.
Donald Trump is entitled to his own opinions. He's not entitled to his own set of alternative "facts" — and if we have to remind him of that in a court of law, we will.
Trump "I'll never apologize," while Americans are forced to choose between buying food or gas because of rising costs due to his war 🙄
Americans know the truth about Trump's economy: he's enriching himself and his donors while doing NOTHING to help Americans struggling to get by.
A statement from CAP President and CEO Neera Tanden about Trump's attack on CAP.
Angelica, a single mom who relies on food stamps and Medicaid, came to D.C. to ask her congressman, Juan Ciscomani (AZ-6), about why he voted yes for Trump's Big Beautiful Bill when it harmed families like hers. Instead of answering Angelica, he told her she's wrong...and then he ran away.
Neera Tanden with a Sunday morning reality check: "The reality is, Donald Trump's policies are making working class people's lives harder, when they thought he'd make them easier."
The economy is doing great, if you just ignore everything about the economy!
Why don't congressmen talk to their constituents about how their votes impact the people they represent? They should. While the Roncas never voted for Rep. Mackenzie or Trump, they're forced to make tough choices about their healthcare: wait or be forced to pay outrageous costs for essential care.
Rep. Ryan Mackenzie promised to fight for constituents like Lynn, but he's gaslighting Pennsylvanians instead, insisting that Americans are doing great when millions can't afford healthcare.

Do you think Trump knows how expensive a carton of eggs is?
"If Ryan Mackenzie is fighting for us, I haven't seen it. If anything, he's made my life harder and worse." -Lynn, a home caregiver in PA Like many in her community, Lynn never voted for Trump or Mackenzie but she's forced to deal with the catastrophic impact of their policies.
Funding priorities under this administration: We don't have money to support kids, the elderly, veterans, or schools, but we DO have money for Donald's fancy new plane, new ballroom, gold plated horses, and lots (and lots!) of weekend golf trips. Sad!
The calls this radio host gets from Americans struggling to get by are enough to bring you to tears. Then again, so are the costs themselves.
Every time she visits the grocery store, prices skyrocket just a little bit more. She's even had to skip medical tests she needed, just to scrape by financially. Meanwhile, Trump and his enablers in Congress like Rep. Mackenzie continue to insist this is the golden age for America.
"Obviously, that's a BIG lie." We showed this small business owner Trump's claims about tariffs (and who pays for them). She did not mince words in her response
Small business owners have just one question for Trump and Republicans in Congress: "How dumb do you think we are?"
Neera Tanden: The uniting factor across the country is that every American is concerned about the cost of living and Trump starting an illegal war with Iran.
"The tariffs have been a thorn in my side. It's just been a nightmare." This small business owner is calling out Rep. Bresnahan who voted six times to support Donald Trump's tariffs even as they hurt Pennsylvanians like her.
@repstansbury.bsky.social is right. If Republicans really cared about the children in this country, why haven't they arrested criminals from the Epstein case? Why do they want to spend another $95 billion on Trump's illegal war?
Rep. Ryan Mackenzie abandoned small business owners like John and Lisa by voting six times to uphold Trump's tariffs. Watch more of their story using the link in bio.
