A Cruel and Short-Sighted Attack on Low-Income Communities - OtherWords
The federal government has a powerful tool to spur investment in communities traditionally locked out of it. But Trump is dismantling it.
NEW: The Treasury Department’s Community Development Financial Institutions Fund was one of the most effective and bipartisan vehicles for community investment in America.
Trump just eliminated its entire staff.

He’s won’t accept the election results on the CA special election or the midterms. The VRA will be decimated. People will take to the streets and he’ll unleash his masked henchmen’s and declare martial law.

YouTube video by Reagan Library
President Reagan's Radio Address on Free and Fair Trade on April 25, 1987
So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube.
Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X).

Obama had a mandate just like Trump 2.0. When Obama was newly elected the Dems were the majority in the House and the Senate. He squandered his powers in hopes for bipartisanship. I’ll never forget Rahm Emanuel telling him to push his agenda through without Republican support but he refused.

We are all frustrated, angry, fed up but he control the Senate, the House, SCOTUS and the executive branch

The math ain’t mathing but the truth from this klan of Trumpism wouldn’t know Truth if it stared them in the face. But they know the annals of history are written by the ones who own the pen and in this day and age control the media.

The conflict is inevitable:
One group is highly paid with bonuses obstacle course trained recruited J6er goon squad 🧊. The other basic trained at the least to military vets on set ranges of pay. They will implode from within.

All I can say everyday, every hour of this presidency is, “Don’t you have something better to do?” This is exactly what my mother would say to me when I wasn’t handling matters of importance. This dude needs to be removed from office. He’s a complete embarrassment.
