As the wealthiest nation in the history of the world, it is a tragedy that millions of Americans remain uninsured. It’s long past time we right this wrong and finally accept, as a country, that healthcare is a human right.
Apparently Trump's never heard the phrase, "the buck stops with me." Because when the stock market exceeds expectations, it's thanks to him. But when they fall woefully short? Everyone else's fault but his own. Don't believe me? Read his own words, just a year apart.
Trump, August 2024: "I will immediately bring prices down, starting on Day One." Trump, October 2024: "Starting on Day One of my new administration, we will end inflation, and we will make America affordable again." Trump, April 2025: "Hang tough!" www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

This Earth Day, I recommit to fighting against the Trump administration's continued attacks on our environment. By threatening our land, water, and air, Trump is risking food shortages, raising prices, and killing jobs when Americans are already struggling to make ends meet.
