Who gets screwed: everyone else.
Trumpβs brilliant plan of 50 year mortgages means that after your first 20 years making huge interest payments to a bank you will have paid down almost none of the principal and they will still own the house you are living in with 30 years to go. A scam from a career con man.

But he loves you, MAGA. Thatβs why heβs building that ballroom for you.
Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; itβs the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice.
It doesn't have to be this way.

The Trump administration is now literally *fighting* to deny food to 42 million people, more than a third of them children.
Read that again.

SNAP has existed for 60 years. Benefits have gone out every single month over those six decades, including during government shutdowns. Until now.
Make no mistake: The money is available to fund SNAP during this shutdown. Trump is making a choice to withhold it.
Donβt forget this.
Senators abdicate their responsibility once again.

Meanwhile, millions of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, can't afford to feed their families, and struggle with cuts to the safety net made to finance tax cuts for the super-rich.
American capitalism is off the rails.
They never say this βliquidβ bullshit when it comes to tax cuts for the rich or wars or giving money to their friends (in Argentina) etc

Are those the words of a man who had just survived a real assassination attempt?
The government is shutdown, and millions of Americans are about to go without food and/or medicine because of him.
So what does Donald Trump do? Keeps bragging about his $300,000,000 golden ballroom and throws a Great Gatsby party at his private resort.
He is so stupidly tone-deaf.

βI will not bring the House back to session until the Congress negotiates a budget that it needs to passβ is pretty much a pure pi-r-squared circle.
If you need the food bank right now, thereβs no shame. Shame belongs to a system that pays poverty wages, cuts childcare, and lets healthcare bankrupt families.
If you can give, do. If you canβt, thatβs okay too.
We rise by lifting each other.
Go to FeedingAmerica.org.
Access to food and healthcare isnβt a privilege; itβs a basic human right.
Every day this shutdown drags on, millions of Americans are left struggling. Republicans must reopen the government and get back to work for the people now.

Speaker Johnson has decided to keep the House in recess all through next week. This will be the seventh consecutive week of recess for the chamber. It has not been in session since Sept. 19.

The reason heβs specifically lying about βweavesβ and weβve seen so many AI fakes of Black women ranting about food stamps is they need to make BW the face EBT because they know many Americans donβt care if Black people suffer, and some actually wish for it.

Because that IS what they are going to say.
