After-tax income under the Trump/GOP budget:
-People making less than $17/k year: LOSE $1000
-People making between $17k and $51k/yr: LOSE $700
-People making over $4.3M/year: GAIN $389,000
This is what class warfare looks like.

Senate Republicans are fast-tracking the GENIUS Act, which would greenlight a financial system enabling the ultra-rich to exploit unstable crypto schemes.
The rest of us will be left holding the bag.
Every Senate Democrat must vote against Trump's corrupt crypto scam.
The Trump administration can say what they want but the video couldnβt be clearer: Plainclothes, warrantless ICE agents ambushed Mahmoud Khalil β and he did not resist or try to flee.
This arrest was illegal and unjustified. He must be released.

I visit rural hospitals all the time. The Republican health care cuts won't just hurt them β they'll force them to close their doors.
Patients will lose health insurance, skip getting care because they can't afford it, and then end up in the ER when it becomes too serious to ignore.
