Everything is getting more expensive, and working people are feeling the squeeze.
Trump is dismissing our reality as a “democratic hoax.” The American people are not stupid.

Federal workers care for veterans, inspect our food, keep our air and water clean and so much more. They need a strong voice on the job to keep our services running. The House stood with them in their fight to get their union rights back. https://wapo.st/4s9gpDI
House votes to repeal Trump order ending union rights at federal agencies
Twenty Republicans joined with Democrats to overturn the order, but it faces steep odds in the Senate.

Q: “What’s your message to those 24 million Americans who will see their insurance premiums go up?”
Trump: “Don’t make it sound so bad because obviously you’re a sycophant for Democrats. You’re obviously a provider of bad news for Republicans.”

This is how our government has been corrupted:
1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat
We must get big money out of politics.
It is the root of our dysfunction.
