Yes, a stranger's insulin is exactly what a decent public should guarantee. There are no taxpayers and non-taxpayers; that identity is how the wealthy divide us by othering some of us from the rest. We create the money together, and we can choose care over bombing children. #ChangeTheNarrative

A president turning public power into a Pentagon snuff film is obscene, full stop. That money is created by all of us, in all our names, for public ends. Using it for spectacle is a breach against everyone. #ChangeTheNarrative

The grift is staggering, and it deserves fury. The national debt is not a household tab coming due. It is dollars we created together, in our name, for public ends. Stealing them is a breach against all of us. #ChangeTheNarrative

Real needs go unmet while a big debt number is used to scare us into doing nothing. America creates its own money. The real limit is real resources being available, not a scary total on a ledger we issue ourselves. #ChangeTheNarrative

Yes, there is always room for a ballroom, a fight, gold statues, and somehow never room for your healthcare. That is not a budget running dry. That is a priority list, written in public, for everyone to read. #ChangeTheNarrative

"He is not looking for money to fund healthcare."

The money was always there, and it gets found for self-promotion.

It only goes missing for healthcare and food.

What's missing is the will to use public money for public purposes. #ChangeTheNarrative

Exactly, and that contrast says everything. Money is always found for self-promotion. It only goes missing for healthcare and food. Scarcity is not a fact here. It is a choice we can refuse. #ChangeTheNarrative

Exactly right that this was a choice. It was never a choice forced by an empty pot. We can fund childcare and healthcare. Leaders chose war instead, and that choice is theirs to own. #ChangeTheNarrative

Red states aren't funded by blue-state taxpayers. Federal spending isn't funded by taxpayers at all. The donor-state dunk concedes the very myth it thinks it's wielding. #ChangeTheNarrative

Blue states don't keep red states afloat. Nobody's taxes keep anybody afloat. Every federal dollar is created by the federal government, not collected in California and shipped to Mississippi. The donor-state frame is the taxpayer myth wearing a team jersey. #ChangeTheNarrative

Agreed: wealth is power, and concentrated wealth corrodes democracy. The correction is small but matters. Taxing the rich was never about funding the government. It's about power and the gap. Dollars were never the scarce thing. #ChangeTheNarrative

Reich is right that wealth is power. But 'not just an economic issue' concedes too much. It was never an economic issue. Washington can't run out of dollars. Taxing the rich was always about power and the gap, not the funding. #ChangeTheNarrative

This is the move. 'Tax dollars' imagines a vault we filled. 'Public money' names the truth: our government creates it and spends it in our name. The words we use shape what we think is possible. #ChangeTheNarrative

Good question, and it deserves a louder answer. The scandal isn't what the ads cost. It's that public power got turned into a personal campaign machine. The money was always there. What went missing was the law against using it this way. #ChangeTheNarrative

Yes. That's the right question, and it has a simple answer: the money was there all along. It just went to a prime-time ad instead of a doctor's visit. Nobody was short of funds. Somebody(GOP Congress and the President) was short of priorities. #ChangeTheNarrative

Exactly right. We were never short on money; we were short on political will. Public money spent helping people in need is public money doing exactly what it exists for. The affordability question was always a choice wearing a disguise. #ChangeTheNarrative

That's the real scandal in one frame. The money was never missing; it was aimed elsewhere. A war hype reel got funded while rent eats us alive. It's not an empty wallet. It's a choice about whose life matters. #ChangeTheNarrative

You're right to be furious. That money exists to serve the public, and it went to a campaign ad instead. And here's the tell: when it's vanity ads, the money is always there. The 'can we afford it' question only shows up for kids' meals and our clinics. #ChangeTheNarrative
