Once again Trump is doing something illegal, and his “All About Me” show continues.
There are NO kings in America!
The U.S. Mint will soon begin producing a new $1 gold-hued coin featuring President Trump’s face on it alongside the phrase “In God We Trust.”
The coin will commemorate America’s 250th birthday, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced.

The fight for voting rights didn't end in 1963, and it isn't over today. As protections for voters continue to face challenges, defending the right to vote should remain one of the most important responsibilities in a democracy.

Civil rights leaders announce ‘March on Washington’ to defend voting rights.
ICE has purchased body cameras with taxpayer dollars and has them ready to use.
Policies and guidance are written.
They just refuse to deploy them because they believe they are above the law and won’t face any responsibility for their actions.

Forty thousand Mississippians losing food assistance is 40,000 too many. No parent should have to worry about how they'll feed their child, and no family should have to wonder where their next meal will come from.

Over 4 million Americans have lost food assistance because of Trump and Republicans' Big Ugly Bill.
People will go hungry at the hands of this Republican majority.
After the killings of Alex Pretti and Renee Good, Democrats and the American people knew that ICE needed real accountability.
Republicans like Susan Collins refused and gave them a $70B slush fund.
In the last week, ICE killed two more people.

It is abundantly clear that Donald Trump hates half the country.
He won't lift a finger to help Americans rebuild after a disaster if they didn't vote for him.
Homeownership should be within reach for every American. That's why I was proud to support the bipartisan 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act.
When Democrats and Republicans come together to pass commonsense legislation, even without the President's support, it shows we're putting the needs of the American people first.

Trump sold Americans a dream just to earn their votes, with no intention of keeping his promises.
The American people deserve a leader who tells the truth, not a liar or a master manipulator.
Donald Trump is a LIAR.
He promised to lower costs on day one. But instead, grocery prices, healthcare premiums and gas prices have only gone up.
He cannot be trusted to better the lives of the American people.

Not a damn person believes Tom Homan.
We’re still waiting for accountability in the killings of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.
These DHS agents should be fired and criminally charged.
Homan: We will do the right thing based on the findings of the investigation. We'll hold our people accountable. You have my word on that.
Justice must be served!
Trump and Republicans' Big Ugly Bill is endangering the health of Americans by GUTTING rural hospitals across the country.
Hardworking American families deserve reliable access to affordable healthcare. @HouseGOP, do better.

Thousands of people in Mississippi's Second District are losing their health coverage because of Trump's Big Ugly Bill.

Thanks to the Big Ugly Bill, nearly 5 million people have been kicked off SNAP. Nearly 1 million of those who had their food taken away are children at risk of losing free school meals.
This is not what America stands for.

It's safe to say, I would pass on a Trump account.
Trump University already taught us what happens when his name is on the brochure. Does a $25 million settlement ring a bell?
