CNN compilation of Trump repeatedly saying the war in Iran will end "pretty soon." If this were only a comedy skit, it might be humorous. As it is, this is tragic.

Groups sue Trump’s Office of Surface Mining over rollback of coal mining oversight rule:

The Trump administration is abusing its power to keep old coal plants running—raising energy bills and polluting our air. As lawmakers demand accountability, we’re suing to shut down Michigan’s Campbell plant for good.

In a sane administration, the FBI Director doesn’t go on the morning news to prove he’s not a drunk, the Defense Secretary doesn’t quote Tarantino to prove he’s a man of God, and the President doesn’t take multiple cognitive exams to prove he’s not insane.

“Signed into law last year, the OBBBA includes a significant number of tax cuts, 45% of which are enjoyed by the “highest-earning 5% of U.S. households,” with “just 1%” going to the lowest-earning 20% of households, according to The Guardian.”

Interesting perspective on feeling financially comfortable. When you grow up poor, this resonates .

Trump promised to lower costs. Instead, gas prices are up. Grocery bills are up. Health care premiums doubled for thousands of Wisconsinites. And Tom Tiffany? He's been in Washington supporting every single one of Trump's plans that made your life more expensive. Wisconsin deserves better.

Rep. Tom Tiffany, GOP candidate for Wisco governor, is all for this project. Vote accordingly.

A new report reveals that 2.5 million Americans lost access to critical food aid due to cuts by MAGA Republicans like Tom Tiffany. Instead of choosing to fund our lives, MAGA chose to funnel money to ICE to separate families and send unaccountable, masked agents into our communities.

Proud to see @seiu.org holding Tom Tiffany accountable for ripping healthcare away from Wisconsinites to pay for tax cuts for his billionaire donors Wisconsin deserves better than Tom Tiffany.

“Tom Tiffany’s election would be a disaster… a governor can do exponentially more damage to the lives of ordinary residents than any single U.S. senator in Washington.”

“Everything I saw showed me why drilling – let alone actual mining – in a water-rich environment is simply not a compatible use. A national forest should not be subject to such harm. But it also reminded me that just because something is legal, does not mean it is right or proper.”

While more than half of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, Trump is trying to increase the war budget by more than 42%, to $1.5 TRILLION, more than the next 35 countries combined. We need to prioritize everyday Americans, not wealthy defense contractors.
