In 7 days reporting on the road, every person I've spoken to is struggling: from homelessness, to facing eviction, to scrounging for change to fill up car, to selling home to keep business open, to shutting down a business OPEN FOR 90 YEARS. Stop the BS.

In the wealthiest country on earth, we have poor people in West Virginia—who are living in slums with black mold, caving in floors, and human feces coming through the ceiling—getting abrupt eviction notices w/ no recourse

In President Manchin's state, you have mothers having to forego sports or activities for their kids bc they can't afford it--or nearly bankrupt from medical bills for their kids

In Akron, homelessness is exploding and a homeless woman explained how the homeless are being "hunted" by the police. And in Biden's "historic" economic recovery, homelessness is exploding everywhere

In Akron, police are attacking protesters AFTER assassinating 25-year-old Black man #JaylandWalker--shooting him 47 times (and firing nearly 90 rounds). Biden campaigned on police "reform" but has given MORE $ to police

In Pittsburgh—and many other places—Starbucks is firing workers for the crime of unionizing. Meanwhile, "union guy" himself @JoeBiden does nothing about it other than serve platitudes at union events. Oh and this fired worker's rent just went up $500

@JoeBiden In Altoona PA, Trump country—the former rail Capitol of America—residents are scrapping for change in their homes to fill up gas tank and paying $150 a week on gas to shuttle their child w/ disabilities to the doctor

@JoeBiden In Philadelphia, poor Black people are being pushed out further and further from their neighborhoods as real estate developers—who also SERVE AS CITY COUNCILMEMBERS—gentrify the neighborhood more and more

@JoeBiden It's gotten so bad that in one low-income apartment complex in Philadelphia, a protest encampment has popped after Black residents—many senior citizens and disabled— are facing eviction because of a greedy landlord selling to a greedy real estate developer
