House Republicans have abandoned America in a time of dire need.
Three crises are building. Insurance premiums doubling, food aid running out, and Trump deploying the world’s largest aircraft carrier to Venezuela’s coast after they accused the U.S. of plotting false-flag attacks.
Republicans have been breaking the rules for years – blocking Supreme Court nominees, weaponizing the debt ceiling, shutting down government when it suits them. Now they demand Democrats play by rules they themselves ignored.
Call your representatives now. Democrats: let them know you’re standing with them – call counts matter. Republicans: tell them you see through their party refusing to govern. Politicians who let anyone go hungry deserve to be voted out of office as fast as possible.
