Trickle-down economics was always a sham.
Nothing has ever trickled down.
The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion, after getting $1.2 trillion richer over the past year alone.
Meanwhile, the rest of the country is getting squeezed by tariffs and high prices for groceries, utilities, and health care.
The system is broken.
Billionaire tax cuts are a policy choice.
Cutting healthcare for millions is a policy choice.
Cutting food assistance for children is a policy choice.
Taking from the poor and giving to the rich is a policy choice.
Make no mistake: Trump and the GOP just chose to do this.
Kristi Noem, while governor of South Dakota, supplemented her roughly $130,000 salary by secretly accepting $80,000 donated to a political nonprofit she was affiliated with, records show.
She never disclosed this income on federal ethics forms.

Nexstar and Sinclair, which own a combined 20% of local ABC affiliates, will still not broadcast Jimmy Kimmel.
Sinclair is a conservative company that donates to and supports right-wing causes.
Stephen Colbert jokingly declared he is once again the "only martyr in late-night" after news that Jimmy Kimmel will return to the air.
