During his second term, Trump has surrounded himself with groveling sycophants who tell him exactly what he wants to hear. Trump himself has always valued loyalty over integrity. It may be his undoing.

94% of teachers have had to dip into their own pockets to buy school supplies. An estimated 1 in 6 have second jobs during the school year to make ends meet.
The average Wall Street employee got a record $244,700 bonus last year.
Something has gone terribly wrong.
I want you to watch this and listen to the meltdown that Calley Means has when asked about food deserts.
I would like some people who exist in the real world to do work in our government, please.
As he unleashes troops to combat "crime," Trump is simultaneously gutting the cops on the beat that stop corporations from harming us โ the EPA, IRS, SEC, Labor Department, FTC, CFPB, Consumer Product Safety Commission, FDA, and Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
Hello?
Mark Zuckerberg has spent $110M to buy 11 houses in one Palo Alto neighborhood.
He's turning the homes into a compound.
That's on top of his 30 bedroom, 30 bathroom compound in Hawaii and another in Lake Tahoe.

Itโs important to see Trumpโs occupation of Washington, D.C., as a trial run for a possible military occupation of the United States.

The most powerful force in American politics today is antiestablishment rage at a system thatโs rigged against most people.
Democrats should ignore the carping of corporate and Wall Street Democrats and embrace Mamdani and other young progressives as the future of the party.
The upward redistribution of wealth over the past 50 years has shifted $80 trillion from the bottom 90% of Americans to the top 1%.ย
Thatโs $80 trillion that would have gone into the paychecks of the working class.
The greatest trick of all is trickle-down economics.
Millions of people are living paycheck to paycheck.
They're struggling with the cost of food, housing, and other basic necessities.
How does Trump respond?
By creating fake emergencies to distract from his failures to address very real issues impacting everyday Americans.
Trump wants voters to believe America is ungovernable, and that the only solution is an authoritarian like him taking over.
The more chaos, lies, and misinformation he spreads, the more likely people are to tune out completely.ย
Do not.

Trump revoked Biden's executive order cracking down on anti-competitive corporate practices.
This gives Big Tech, Ag, Pharma, and airline monopolies even more power to price-gouge and rip you off.
CEOs have been kissing Trump's ring โ look at what they're getting in return.
After his trial runs in LA and DC, Trump is now reportedly planning to permanently keep 600 National Guard troops on standby to deploy into any American city facing protests.ย

Trump has halted or dropped enforcement actions against 160+ corporations, including:
-42 consumer protection cases at CFPB
-20 foreign bribery cases at DOJ
-6 employment discrimination cases at EEOC
-7 crypto cases at SEC
It's a new golden age for corporate criminals.
