Here we are in another Republican government shutdown and my Rep is home doing photo ops instead of in D.C. trying to help working Americans. I didn't think I'd have to run to the trumpets again but I am. I'm running for Congress because I'm not done yet and neither are we. (1/2)

Democrats cave again to Republicans —> 24 million Americans will see their healthcare costs double. RGV and Texas leaders cannot back down to attacks on our community. 🌴
New - In major breakthrough, key Senate Ds signaling a willingness to vote to reopen government, per sources. Assuming they get provisions to reinstate fired federal workers. Emerging deal would not include extension of ACA subsidies but would guarantee a vote in Senate on issue

They were doing it right. They stole her from court. This has nothing to do with criminals. It’s about meeting quotas. It’s madness. It’s evil. It’s un-American.
"A man ran to the Broadview ICE facility today searching for his wife of five years. They were following the legal process, showing up for her court case, when ICE took her to another room and disappeared her. He tracked her phone to Broadview where the signal cut off. Police

We must protect health care because the GOP hasn’t advanced a health care plan in more than a decade. Yet, come January 1st they would wipe out ACA support for over 185,000 across NW Ohio.

I had a great chat with the ladies of @ivehaditpodcast about my race for Congress. It’s time we take back the House from the Republican Doormat leadership. #TeamWellman @WellmanForMO

As the proud husband of an Air Force combat veteran, I know first hand the toll that war takes on our military members, their families, and their communities. I’m grateful for all who’ve served and sacrificed to keep us free. #VeteransDay2025

$40 billion to Trump’s friend while he fights to starve Americans in need. Where is the Republican Congress? Hiding at home.
Argentina President Javier Milei doing the “Trump dance” at Mar-a-Lago after getting an $40 billion bailout. Meanwhile, Trump won’t renew subsides for American healthcare.

Trump and the Republicans are going to pretend they care about veterans. They don’t. Millions are now out of work, losing SNAP, and healthcare. Talked about it and sat down with fellow veteran and AFGE President Everett Kelley for the new ‘On Democracy’ now on @meidastouch

This is how the propaganda works. It’s not the same grocery basket. I mean who wants…checks list…fresh sweet potatoes, celery, and onions in their Thanksgiving dinner? They are lying. Always. Walmart is part of the scam. No one is fighting for Americans anymore.
President Trump says the cost of Walmart's Thanksgiving bundle is 25% lower this year than it was last year, turns out it's 28% less, even better. This is a step in the right direction for the President's affordability agenda. Happy early Thanksgiving folks!

Of course it is.
America has become numbed to the routine daily corruption of this presidency.

We must investigate who is running this Administration while Trump sleeps. Is Stephen Miller the acting President? Is he giving the orders? He had all but said so in multiple speeches and interviews. Where is the Republican Doormat Congress? Home having worked just 20 days in 19

Same vibe…but creepier.
Trump: "Karoline, the prime minister would like you to work for him in Hungary. That's a very good decision you just made. Please don't leave us, Karoline."
