The Trump Administration is prioritizing billionaire wealth over the lives of millions around the world, who will now be pushed even deeper into poverty. This is an inequality crisis.

Just one year of tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy amounts to twice as much as Trump administration’s cuts to humanitarian and development aid, Oxfam analysis finds President Trump and Republicans in Congress are working to slash $31.7 billion in foreign aid spending. Meanwhile, the ultra-wealthy are set to receive roughly twice that amountβ€”$60.3 billionβ€”in just ...

Today's fun fact: The Trump Administration's cuts to humanitarian and development aid are HALF of what they gave the ultra-wealthy in the One Big Beautiful Bill. Quite literally giving handouts to the world's richest while cutting from the world's poorest: www.oxfamamerica.org/press/just-o...

The famine in Gaza Governorate is entirely driven by Israel’s near-total blockade on food and vital aid, the horrifying consequence of Israel’s violence, and its use of starvation as a weapon of war. 1/4

The Trump Administration Is About to Incinerate 500 Tons of Emergency Food Federal workers warned for months that the high-energy biscuits would go to waste.

The Trump admin just ordered emergency food aid to be burnedβ€”even after Marco Rubio testified it wouldn’t happen. That food could have fed 1.5 million children for a week. This is the cruel consequence of dismantling USAID and ending lifesaving assistance. www.theatlantic.com/health/archi...

When the Trump admin slashed humanitarian aid programs, it claimed broad support from the American people. We investigated this claim & what we learned was clear: The American public rejects Trump’s extreme cuts to lifesaving & development aid.

Last week, Oxfam America, @4taxfairness.bsky.social , @patrioticmillionaires.org, and @avaaz.org delivered over 200,000 petition signatures demanding one thing: it’s time to tax the ultra-rich.

President Trump's tax bill is a historic act of cruelty that showers the ultra-rich in tax handouts while taking food and healthcare away from ordinary people. Protests show just how unpopular this bill really is while Congress and the president cater to billionaires.

Today, rather than investing in workers and families, Senate Republicans passed a destructive tax bill that would leave millions hungry and without healthcare.

Lawmakers need to ask themselves: how many people are you willing to harm to pad the pockets of billionaires?

Amazing Oxfam Sisters on the Planet and Action Network Activists advocated for tax policies that benefit women and girls this #IWD. Folks learned more about the tax fight and how we can take action to rewrite our failed tax system so that it can fight inequalityβ€”not fuel it.

So many questions. Did you wear all white? Did you show up late and leave early, like all Heat fans do (even during the playoffs)? Do they still have "HEAT CULTURE" painted on the court?

When I worked in polling, we didn't weight different questions in the same survey differently; just one set of weights for the whole survey. I think this is happening because of the relative popularity of incumbent Dem Senators and unfavorable GOP challengers.And Trump's unique popularity in the GOP
