WELKER: Is a vote for you a vote for the Trump agenda?
MIKE ROGERS: Um, I'm apologizing. I'm having some difficultly in my earpiece. But is a vote for you? I'm not sure. I'll tell you what a vote for me is. It's a great day for the state of Michigan

TRUMP on HIGH GAS PRICES: We’re making money like we’ve never made before. They’ll say: President Trump is bragging about all the money they're making while people are suffering at the pump. I don’t give a damn. We’re making a freaking fortune.

🚨🚨🚨Rob McColley admits Vivek believes that Amy was raped by her Mother’s husband and that Amy’s Mom chose to stay with Amy’s rapist. Vivek Ramaswamy decided to use this woman in an ad anyway. Truly horrifying.

Q: Amy Acton's stepfather was indicted for rape. Now that you know all that, sir, do you change your mind about the ad?
Trump: No. I don't care

Connect the dots: Republicans in Congress hand billionaires tax breaks, then claim there's no money for your health care, then act shocked when premiums spike. It's one system working exactly as designed. Dismantle it the only way that works - vote early. #VoteEarlyDay

Councilmember @marnivonwilpert is running hard to fix our broken healthcare system.
And make sure that every single American can afford to see a doctor when they need one.
She is going to flip this seat from red to blue in November!

Changes to the ACA and Medicaid leading to millions losing coverage and increases in health care expenses legitimately occupy a lot of political focus. But, lack of affordability for the 157 million people with employer coverage should get more attention.

Worker premiums for family health insurance are up 9%. The total average premium is $28,303. The average deductible is $1,955. It's no wonder people are worried about health care costs.

Ramaswamy has produced an attack ad weaponizing the rape of his opponent, Amy Acton, when she was 12 years old. It features Acton’s mother, who abandoned Acton after she was raped by her step-father, fleeing the state with her husband.
Here is the corporate money helping fund that ad.
