Keith is back with the facts. Hard hitting facts!
Please recommend this to friends and family!
We’re facing war, tariffs, healthcare cuts, job cuts, cancer research cuts, dismantled safety protections in AI, water, air, and food. This is what Republicans have done with power.
And, the rich are thriving more than ever.
Get the facts from Keith and vote for govt that helps average people. That’s what advanced nations do with tax revenue. Other advanced nations are leaving us behind.
