"The problem is the ACA is already unaffordable."

Nebraska Republican Don Bacon

With their legislative negligence, Republicans have made Obamacare unaffordable.

If you are a sitting Republican congressional representative or senator still supporting Donald Trump, you may want to consider "other career opportunities."

Donald Trump is already a convicted felon.

Democrats and Republicans are beginning to agree about the lawlessness of the Trump Administration.

It’s 1998, you’re at a movie theatre. A trailer flashes of a dystopian future:

The year is 2025, Donald Trump is president. Inflation is out of control. Unsold crops on empty farms is rotting. Beef prices are are at all time highs. People are hurting. But one Philly family fights back: Meat Heist

Nothing like gaslighting while saying the one thing we won't do is gaslight you. Oh and he lied about inflation, yet again.

And let's not forget about his lie last weekend about immigrants bringing their diseased cattle over the border fence and then causing beef prices to spike...

Thanks to Trump, families will soon be paying $10 for just ONE pound of beef. And that’s just the start. Meanwhile, he’s gaslighting Americans into thinking prices are coming down. Says the guy who’s never been to a grocery store in his life.

People probably forgot that trump slapped a 50% tariff on Brazil, causing our coffee and beef prices to skyrocket, because they wouldn’t drop the charges against Bolsonaro when he demanded it.

Trump hits Brazil with 50% tariff, in part due to trial of ally Jair Bolsonaro

New at Flatwater: The closure of the Tyson plant in Lexington delivered a “gut punch” to the Nebraska town of 11,000, which stands to lose 3,200 jobs. It also may drive record beef prices even higher. 🔗 buff.ly/StuOGtz

Movie Idea:

A POTUS who attempted a coup wants to save a friend, the president of Brazil, from prison after his own failed coup. He increases the price of coffee & beef in the US to force Brazil to release his friend, then blames the high prices on immigrants.

Also, a podcaster runs the FBI.

I went to the heart of Trumpland to find out why beef prices are going up.

In Texas, it's cowboys versus the corporate oligarchy.

Saying Biden/Harris are responsible for high beef prices is nothing but #RepublicanPropaganda.

If only the GOP could tell the truth, they'd tell you the beef prices are a result of prolonged drought, high feed prices and higher energy costs.
