This is what we run on this fall. Also the corruption.



Democrats @TheDemocrats 12:07 PM · Apr 2, 2026
NEW AD: Donald Trump has made his choice.

“We’re fighting wars. We can’t take care of daycare.”








Rep. Zoe Lofgren @RepZoeLofgren 35m
Trump wants to spend your tax dollars on warfare but not Medicaid and Medicare.

Congressman Seth Magaziner @Rep_Magaziner
So he admits that he is spending our tax money on endless wars instead of childcare, Medicare, and Medicaid.

It doesn’t have to be this way.


Senator Reverend Raphael Warnock @SenatorWarnock
We suffer not from a poverty of resources, but from a lack of moral imagination.

Congressman Shri Thanedar @RepShriThanedar
No this is a choice. Trump is CHOSING to fund war over daycare. He's CHOOSING to cut Medicaid and Medicare for more money for war. MAGA CHOOSES to blindly believe him like sheep.

Governor JB Pritzker @GovPritzker · 38m
Donald Trump doesn’t care about you.

He is using your tax dollars to fund another war in the Middle East while working families can’t afford health care. So much for America First.

Every Republican needs to answer this today:

Do you support Trump's war in Iran that is sending prices through the roof?

Silence is an answer.


Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders · 1h
Mr. President: I have a better idea. Instead of spending over a trillion dollars on never-ending wars abroad while plunging the working class into poverty here at home, let’s invest in universal childcare, Medicare for All and affordable housing. America first!

Grace Meng @RepGraceMeng 23h
The GOP already made the largest cuts to Medicaid in history AND refused to extend ACA tax credits, making health insurance cost skyrocket for everyone.

Now they want to raise costs again to pay for a war Congress never approved.

That’s not America First.


Rep. Betty McCollum @BettyMcCollum04 1h
One year ago today, President Trump declared that his "Liberation Day" would improve our economy. Instead, Americans are paying higher prices for everything. If the president really wants to liberate us, he should end his erratic tariff policy and end his illegal war in Iran.

Ken Martin @kenmartin73 · 1h
Trump says his war is more important than daycare. The $200 billion he wants to bomb Iran could cover a full year of daycare for 14 million kids. This is a statement on priorities, and for Trump, America comes last.

Governor Gavin Newsom @CAgovernor · 13h
These guys have been lying about their war with Iran since day one. Gas prices will come down? They're skyrocketing because of this war. How could Americans ever trust what this administration is saying?

House Democrats @HouseDemocrats
One year ago today, Trump enacted sweeping tariffs on Americans disguised as “Liberation Day”.

Today, the Trump-Republican economy is failing Americans.

Higher prices. Fewer jobs. Rising unemployment. And families have paid $1,700 more because of Trump’s tariffs.

Sen. Cory Booker @SenBooker
One year ago today, Trump called it "Liberation Day." Liberation from what, exactly? Trade deficit hit an all-time high. Manufacturing jobs lost. Small businesses hammered. Farmers facing bankruptcy. All while consumers foot the bill. Let's be clear: Trump’s tariff war was waged on American families. This wasn't liberation. It was a price hike on working people dressed up in a rose garden ceremony. The only thing liberated was money from your wallet. 11:21 AM · Apr 2, 2026 ·

Senator Tim Kaine @SenTimKaine · 24m
One year ago today, Trump declared he was imposing his illegal “Liberation Day” tariffs. And one year later, things aren’t any cheaper—in fact, experts estimate Trump’s tariffs cost families an average of $1,000 last year.
