One Big Brutal Bill”—
Millions cut loose from care,
the poor, the sick,
young women with no refuge but a clinic,
now stripped bare—
no birth control,
no screenings,
no gentle hands left to turn to.

Make America Healthy Again.

In the grand theater of the Senate, the vote to strip public media funding is not about policy—it’s about controlling the narrative. Slashing the lifeblood from NPR and PBS isn’t just symbolic; it’s a blow to the very infrastructure of informed democracy.

🛠️ WANT TO BE IN A DOCUMENTARY? KNOW SOMEONE WHO SHOULD BE? 🛠️
Fifth Influence is producing a documentary right here in Western Pennsylvania — and we want to hear from hard-working men and women in the trade professions.
Since 2012, many blue-collar workers — especially men — have shifted away from the Democratic Party. We’re asking simple, honest questions to understand why.
📍 Filming is taking place across Western PA — from Washington to Erie, Somerset to Pittsburgh, and more.
🎥 Filming runs through August.
💬 We’re looking for blue-collar working men and women of all ages — who used to vote Democrat or society expects them to vote Democrat because of their profession but now vote Republican — and are willing to share their honest, candid opinions.
If this sounds like you — or someone you know — get in touch by clicking here or emailing us here: https://forms.monday.com/.../6119b164dd8655cc6fd03ae490ad...
Let’s talk.
