Families are getting crushed by exploding fuel costs, labor shortages, Trump’s tariffs, and weather-driven crop losses. Milk, eggs, bread, produce — everything’s up. The result? Skipped meals, smaller carts, and budgets stretched to the breaking point. #TrumpAffordabilityCrisis

Why and how 2 highly qualified, experienced, intelligent, & empathetic women not get elected & we ended up w/a felon is still beyond my understanding.

This sure sounds like another way to make it even harder for Americans to get the benefits they've earned.

My bipartisan IRS MATH Act with Senator Bill Cassidy is now law.
Now, if you mess up your taxes, the IRS has to tell you where you made a mistake and how to fix it.
No more spending a fortune on lawyers or hours to find errors.
That means fewer headaches and more money in your pocket.

Don’t forget LBJ and the war on poverty. If the Dems could just divorce themselves from wall street and dirty money, grow a spine and a set of cajones, and walk the walk, that’d be super.

When a system keeps failing half its population (us women), it’s not broken — it’s built that way. Women are not actually named in the Constitution. There have been several attempts to have them placed in it, but authorities argue that actually being equal to men would destroy society.

This is the first Thanksgiving for Sophie & Colin Hortman without their parents, Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and Mark Hortman who were assassinated along with the family dog in an act of political murder. National guards troops were not deployed to the state in response.
