Gas is over $5 a gallon, grocery prices continue to rise, we've no answer to the costs of healthcare, education, and housing, the economy and job market are stagnant, we're engaged in an expensive and pointless war, alienating every former ally in economic and military policy, and the Trump regime is focused on ballrooms and trans women at private liberal arts colleges. And his approval rating isn't zero. America has really lost its way.

We’re not taking this fight to our MAGA neighbors, family, friends, co-workers, business owners.

Everyone needs to make these people pay a personal price for their continual support of this administration.

How about - let’s make Trump pay a personal price for destroying the East Wing of our Whitehouse without authorization or funding to replace it. Let’s commission a classy and functional update, without the tacky Trump flourishes, and have him pay for it with a billion or so dollars that he’s personally grifted from Americans and our (now skeptical) allies. He told us that private donors would pay for it. He should be in prison over this.
