The Democrats seem to have a running wager in which they're competing to see who can be the most out of touch with the average American. And it's working!
A shocker for me given the tariff war: The GOP seems to be in their best position ever for the party who cares more for the needs of people like yourself.

One of those Democrats who seems determined to keep his party in the minority for a long time to come is Rep. Eric Swalwell, who was booted from the House Intelligence Committee for his alleged affiliation with a Chinese spy but nevertheless has the stones to claim Trump is the national security threat.
Swalwell's latest shtick is to pretend there were no airplane or helicopter crashes until Trump took office:
How many planes have to crash or collide before Donald Trump takes responsibility?

Another plane crash. When will Donald Trump take responsibility?

If the Dems controlled the House there's no doubt they already would have impeached him over the plane crashes that never happened under other presidents.
But this week Swalwell outdid himself again and might as well go get fitted for his clown nose and shoes if he hasn't already done that.

This is like a scene from a Zucker brothers movie:
When Trump, Musk, and MAGA extremists try to gut Social Security and slash Medicaid to fund billionaire tax breaks, our seniors say: Hands off!

That says a lot, and not in the way Swalwell hopes...

Swalwell's "Dozen Man March" was a rousing success.
Surely this is elder abuse 😂Why is he screaming at them as if he has an army of seniors in front of him? There’s like 12 people there.

12 is being generous 😂

When the Dems screech about "hands off" everybody knows what they're really concerned about:

Bingo!
Swalwell bleating into a bullhorn to three people reminded me of this:

That 21 percent still seems high, and Dems like Eric Swalwell seem determined to drive it down even more.
