Houghton County Democratic Party

Groceries up 3% in one month — the highest in years. And analysts say we’re just at the BEGINNING. Trump’s war in Iran is driving up diesel. Diesel moves 80% of our food. We’re all paying for a war we didn’t vote for. 💸 #TrumpsGroceryCrisis

Trump & Hegseth want $200 BILLION for war with Iran while tens of thousands of Americans die every year because they can’t afford a doctor. $200 billion could provide healthcare to Americans FOR YEARS. Choose a side: bombs or beds, missiles or medicine. We want #HealthcareNotWarfare

Sen. Warnock is right: Republicans found $200 billion for a war in Iran overnight. But for 25 million uninsured Americans? Nothing. No urgency. No bill. No vote. They fund what they value. And they just told you exactly what that is.  #HealthcareNotTrumpsWar

Saturday is OUR day. They can have their billionaires and their secret police — we’ve got each other. Show up in your community, signs in hand, comfortable shoes on, and your voice ready to ROAR. Drop in the comments where you’ll be standing up for democracy. 👑🚫  #WeSayNoKings

TSA agents are quitting. DHS workers are stretched thin. But House Republicans still want billions more for ICE. Fund the workers protecting Americans every day — and freeze ICE until there’s accountability.  #FundDHSFreezeICE

The SAVE America Act would force proof of citizenship to register, build a de facto national citizenship database and add new ID hurdles that hit young, poor, Black, brown, naturalized & disabled voters hardest.  Tell the Senate to keep it dead. #SaveActIsPayToVote

Feb Jobs Report shows 92,000 jobs LOST!! The unemployment arrow is now pointing straight UP to 4.4%. Where economists expected a gain of 50,000, Trump has instead delivered a 142,000-job catastrophe in 28 days. 😡 Welcome to #TrumpsJobsSlump​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

It won’t be Trump’s children dying in the Middle East — it’ll be working-class kids sent to war by his unauthorized action. Call your reps NOW. Block this war. Demand a vote on Reps Khanna and Massie's War Powers Act.

Under the War Powers Resolution, presidents must consult Congress for authorization for sustained hostilities. Trump’s Iran campaign is not a one-off strike - he calls it "a massive and ongoing operation". Congress must vote before we slide into full-scale war. CALL YOUR REP & SENATORS

If your vote didn't matter, they wouldn't try so hard to stop you from voting.....  #SaveActTaxesYourVote

"Americans feel powerless against the Trump administration’s assault on our nation’s values. Praised by tech CEOs, surrounded by sycophants...the president’s actions march on unchecked. Americans, however, have a powerful weapon that's...hiding in plain sight." https://www.resistandunsubscribe.com/

They're not stopping at your birth certificate. SAVE 2.0 would END online voter registration in , KILL mail-in registration, and STOP voter registration drives.  It's a full-scale attack on your right to vote. Call (202) 224-3121  #StopTheSaveAct

The SAVE Act is back before Congress again. It's NOT a voter ID bill, and it's aim is NOT really to stop non-citizens from voting. It's a voter registration bill that will create roadblocks for many American citizens to register to vote. Tell your representatives to vote NO on the SAVE Act.

“See, I don’t know Spanish, but I feel what he’s saying.” YES! - the music carries the message. Bad Bunny doesn’t need translation - he connects through rhythm, truth, and heart. Looking forward to tomorrow's Super Bowl! 🎶🔥 #BadBunnyBowl

Karl Rove - yes Karl Rove the longtime GOP operative - torches Trump. He's failing the working class -  "Last year we lost 70,000 manufacturing jobs. We lost 145,000 blue collar jobs...Blue-collar consumer confidence is at a record low since 1976 when they began asking the question about this."

Chris Murphy names the harm plainly: ICE is inflicting trauma and violence—Minneapolis to Texas, block by block. Families terrorized. Communities destabilized. This happens by design and by funding. Congress can stop feeding it today. #FundHealthcareOverICE

ICE's brutal crime against a US citizen is shocking. And the unconstitutional / illegal act, followed by trying to "spin" the murder of US citizen, is unconscionable. Use 5calls (https://f.mtr.cool/xkrmmvgbca) today to let your Senators and Rep know that you demand justice for Renee Nicole Good.

America First? Or oil companies first?   "What's good for business is good for the United States". Veteran diplomat Richard Haass on Venezuela, Maduro's capture, and the future of US foreign policy. This clip is part of Katie Couric's in-depth conversation with Richard on her Substack channel.

Do you live in Houghton County District 2? (that's Franklin, Osceola, Schoolcraft and Torch Lake Townships.) Are you angry about what Commissioner Keranen is doing? Would you like to be part of a Board that works FOR our county? Our Candidate Recruiting Committee would love to talk to you.

Affordability is a scam?! Please. Prices aren’t magically dropping — that’s not how inflation works, and Trump knows it. Real affordability means higher wages so families can survive higher prices. That’s the part Trump refuses to say out loud. #TrumpInflationCrisis

Thanksgiving shouldn’t require math homework, but Trump’s price surge means families are counting pennies, chasing sales, and putting food back on the shelf. Every aisle’s a reminder that he has broken his promises and your budget. #TrumpCrushesYourDreams

Today, hundreds will gather in Houghton, as millions will also across the country. Gathering for a peaceful rally, to stand up patriotically for our rights and freedoms. Because America has No Kings. Hope to see you there.  More info here: https://f.mtr.cool/vnlvjhyzzp

The Big Bad Billionaire Bill will devastate healthcare in communities like ours - all to fund huge tax breaks for the very rich.

Mark Ruffalo speaking out against Trump's immigration policies and said problems in the US are not caused by immigrants but by billionaires.

The National Guard and Marines should not be used to suppress peaceful protests. Trump's lies are not a valid reason to deploy the military against our own people. We will not be intimidated by the military might being used against us. #FreedomToDissent

Why public schools? Because they’re where hope becomes real. They’re not just classrooms—they are the foundation of a just society. Public education gives every child a fair shot. It’s where equity, opportunity, and democracy begin. #HandsOffPublicSchools

THIS IS A MUST WATCH! The numbers don't lie, this bill doesn't just cut Medicaid, it adds $20 trillion in new debt. #HealthCareCutsKill

742 rural hospitals are at risk of closing. 742!! (CBS News)

Bruce Springsteen calls out the "incompetent and traitorous" Trump administration.
