Jim Jordan looked at struggling Ohioans paying $1.55 more per gallon and shrugged. This is who Jim Jordan is. He does not care about the price you pay at the pump. He does not care about your grocery bill, your rent, or your family budget. Typical MAGAgop.

$72 BILLION to tear families apart. Not for schools. Not for healthcare. For ICE raids. Our community is not the problem — their cruelty is. Call your rep TODAY. The number is 202-224-3121. We won’t be silent.

The people of Hungary organized and fought back against a rigged system. Their persistence shows that authoritarianism is not inevitable. If they can reclaim their democracy, we can too. Resistance works when we stand together. RISE UP!
