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 are choosing to do this.

Trump and Musk are going after Social Security, Medicaid, the VA, and public education.

In what universe, in what world, in what religion is it morally acceptable to cut programs for hungry children in order to reward the wealthy?

Bada bing!

Yes, my economic plan will cause short term pain. But after that you won't feel the pain anymore because you'll be dead

March 5, 2025 In the gym of Westminster College in Fulton, Missouri, on March 5, 1946, former and future prime minister of the United Kingdom Winston Churchill rose to deliver a speech.

March 5, 2025:

We are working on launching an ALT DOGE website. It will soon feature a team page listing all of Elon’s staffers, our own wall of receipts (tracking the money he’s taking from America), and a section to help Americans keep tabs on the false claims on Doge’s website—which now exceed 52%.

Live updates: Trump cuts short talks with Ukraine’s Zelenskyy after Oval Office blow up President Donald Trump has cut short talks with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy after he and and Vice President JD Vance berated the Ukraine’s leader in the Oval Office.

Donald Trump is treating the destruction of a democracy as a political show — throwing Ukraine to the wolves and doing a favor for Putin.

It's shameful and dangerous.

I've been to Ukraine, as have many Senate Republicans. I hope they speak up. Millions of lives are at stake.

Dear world, please do not judge us harshly. Most of us are good-caring people, and we hate him too.

The popcorn could be questioned.

Yes

Horrible bully.

Unbelievably so.

Hundreds of weather forecasters fired in latest wave of DOGE cuts Federal workers who were not let go said the afternoon layoffs included meteorologists who do crucial local forecasts in National Weather Service offices across the U.S.

Trump and Elon just began firing hundreds of NOAA workers serving “mission-critical and life-saving roles.”

These climate experts and forecasters are crucial to tracking natural disasters like hurricanes.

Make no mistake, their terminations will cause preventable deaths.

I certainly hope so.

Zelensky could have just met with Putin directly and cut out the middleman.

Sad but true.

A grassroots movement is calling on all Americans to abstain from shopping with major retailers tomorrow, February 28, as part of an “economic blackout.”

I encourage you to join. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/boycott

Yay!! A federal judge in California sided with a coalition of unions, temporarily barring the Office of Personnel Management from ordering federal agencies to terminate probationary workers, stating that the firings were ‘illegal, should be stopped, and rescinded.’

Yeah. Get a room. 😡

Pants, as they say, are on fire. 🔥

What a coincidence…

This is, btw, right out of the Nazi playbook to dehumanize people and give them a permission structure to hate.

My oath is to the Constitution of our state and of our country.

We don’t have kings in America – and I don’t intend to bend the knee to one.

I am not speaking up in service to my ambitions — but in deference to my obligations.
