But hey—at least we can all say we ‘cut taxes’ while paying more for literally everything else.

If the name didn’t come to mind immediately, that’s the point.

They didn’t release the files. Again.

Folks notice patterns —
and this one’s familiar.

We’re not shocked.
We’re done pretending.

Supporting the troops means more than a check. I support the $1,776 bonus. I oppose paying for it by taking money meant to fix black mold and unsafe, unlivable conditions in military family housing.

Military families already carry enough. They shouldn’t be asked to absorb bad budget choices.

He's the “made for TV” president. I wasn't expecting The Simpsons. But here we are.

I watched the speech. But my checkbook was doing all the talking.

That’s the part I believe.

We voted for lower prices, small government, and an end to endless foreign wars. We got military parades, ballroom, troops harassing Americans in the streets, looming WAR in Argentina. And prices are through the roof! The king has no clothes.

They always find billions for the big guys — and crumbs for the folks doing the real work. That’s not helping farmers. That’s corporate welfare while rural folks get squeezed again.

Short-term fixes for Big Ag. Long-term neglect for the rest of us.

They promised “prosperity.” What we got were closed businesses, lost jobs, and families scraping by while everything costs more.

We deserve better than broken promises and higher bills. We deserve a government that works for working people, not just the wealthy and well-connected.

We spent more than $2 million in taxpayer money to blow up a 40-foot fishing boat off the coast of South America — and they’re calling it “national security.”

Missiles. Drones. Gunships. F-35s. Helicopters. A naval task force.

All mobilized… to sink a 40 foot boat.

MAKE IT MAKE SENSE

fast. Break the law, and the machine grinds you to dust.

While you’re scrambling to afford a lawyer, they’re buying their way to freedom.

This isn’t a glitch. It is the system. Justice isn’t broken—it’s for sale.

Missouri’s Attorney General went into federal court and called the MO voters “uninformed plebiscites.” That’s lawyer-speak for “stupid.”

We don’t need politicians talking down to us because someone in Jeff City thinks we’re beneath them.

Missourians can think for ourselves — and we’ll prove it.

Every parent who’s hauled a kid to grade school or wiped the tears of a disappointed teen… every parent who’s raised a family in a house with a mortgage… knows one simple truth:

Kids come first. Always.

If a grown man harms a child, you don’t stop to ask what party he belongs to.

Mike Johnson actually said Congress must protect people who “knew Epstein but knew nothing of his crimes.” This man has never cared about “innocent people” when it was kids losing food stamps. But when powerful men and political allies might be exposed? We’re judging folks by the company they kept.

Before we were Democrats or Republicans, we were human beings who understood the difference between a child and an adult. A fifteen-year old is a CHILD. And that shouldn't be Red or Blue.
Release the files.
Everything else is noise.

So after a year of insisting “tariffs don’t raise prices,” Trump quietly drops the tariffs on beef, coffee, and fruit.
Tariffs are TAXES — and while billionaires got a break, the rest of us got screwed.

Thanks, Trump. Are we great yet?

The right to speak.
The right to assemble.
The right to petition our government.

It’s the quietest right —
but the one that keeps democracy loud.

Because if we can’t demand change,
every other freedom is just a promise waiting to be broken.

Republicans have been promising to repeal and replace Obamacare for fifteen years… and fifteen years later, their plan is still: ‘Trust me, bro.

Republicans in Congress are trying to pass a continuing resolution because- according to them, they only needed seven more weeks to fulfill their constitutional duty to put a budget together for the country. The House Republicans haven’t worked in six weeks. 🤬

When workers need food stamps to survive, it’s not because they’re lazy — it’s because corporations like Walmart and Amazon pay poverty wages.

Those SNAP benefits? They’re not worker welfare — they’re corporate subsidies.

The real welfare queens aren’t working families.
They’re corporations.

They found a way to twist the law for golden ballrooms — but somehow can’t unlock $5 billion in emergency aid to feed hungry Americans.

WAKE UP.
They found a way to tear down the White House — without rules.

But keeping food on the table for American families?
Suddenly, that’s “against the rules.”
