Trump says we have to vote for him or the economy will suffer. It’s another of his con jobs. Just look at the lies he’s told about the the American economy and middle class opportunity.

1. Trump promised to replace the ACA with something better. He came up with nothing.
2. He promised to never cut social safety nets. But his 2020 budget cuts the social safety net, like Medicare.

3. Trump promised to revive manufacturing. Under his leadership it has slowed and stalled with his trade war.
4. The deficit under Trump and the GOP senate majority has blown up to a trillion dollars a year. He said he would balance the budget.
5. The biggest lie of all - Trump promised a tax cut for the middle class that would push growth up 3%. His tax cut hasn’t done that and instead many in the middle class were hit with higher taxes as corporations and the wealthy got new breaks.
6. After 8 years of repair and growth under President Obama after inheriting a GOP recession, financial experts now fear another recession. All thanks to Trump and his typical GOP plutocratic economic policy.

As the 5th Circuit now debates the so called "abortion pill, it is important to look at the facts. The case should have been dimississed for lack of standing. The plaintiffs could show no tangible harm.
The FDA first approved mifepristone for medical termination of pregnancy more than 20 years ago after extensive scientific evidence and data was presented and reviewed. It has been safely used since 2000 and since 2016 has been approved for use through ten weeks gestation.
For these two decades, the FDA has regularly reviewed the safety data. It is a far less invasive measure for ending unplanned pregnancy than the necessary procedures required beyond the first trimester.

A look inside the process of #RainbowConnection, as seen in the #ReleaseMe2 liner notes, written by Barbra’s longtime A&R Jay Landers:

"When songwriters Paul Williams and Kenny Ascher were asked by Jim Henson to write songs for the 1979 motion picture, The Muppet Movie, they- Image
-took inspiration from the animated Disney classic, Pinocchio. Williams recalled being profoundly touched by Jiminy Cricket’s warmhearted performance of “When You Wish Upon A Star” and wanted to write a song that evoked a similar feeling. -
That same year, Barbra was recording her Wet album, a collection of songs with water themes – visiting Niagara Falls, splish-splashing in the tub, kissing in the rain, and shedding no more tears. “Rainbow Connection” would have been a natural fit, except the production and-

Six more reasons to vote against Trump

1. Trump hid in his bunker then had peaceful protestors attacked with tear gas outside the White House so he could have a photo op in front of a church.
2. Trump has exacerbated race relations, maligning Black Lives Matter protestors and dismissing calls for justice, while comparing himself to Abraham Lincoln.
3. Trump has continued to promote dangerous conspiracy theories in an effort to delegitimize the U.S. election. As a redux to his racist birther conspiracy against President Obama, he has launched new racist attacks against Democratic Vice Presidential Nominee Kamala Harris.
