Happening at a Home Depot near you.

ICE IS OUT OF CONTROL.

And they’re coming after the working people.

Not criminals.

World’s richest 1% increased wealth by $33.9 trillion since 2015, Oxfam says That amount is β€œmore than enough to eliminate annual poverty 22 times over,” according to a new analysis from the anti-poverty group.

Income inequality is the major issue facing this country and taxing the wealthiest is fair and necessary

Reminder:

When companies pay less than a living wage and don’t offer healthcare, their workers are forced to rely on taxpayer-funded social safety nets like Medicaid and SNAP.

That’s not a handout to workers.
That’s a handout to the companies exploiting them.

What is at stake is the quality of American governance. Governing according to the rule of law, general principles and impersonal procedures offers many fewer opportunities for bribes and quid pro quo favors than Trump’s preferred approach: target this law firm, exempt that preferred company from tariffs, personally decide which media company mergers to allow. Now that he has shown the path to personal enrichment in the billions of dollars from those currying his favor, lawful general governance is at risk even after he departs. As James Madison insisted, even well-intentioned public officials aren’t angels.

The Visionary of Trump 2.0 Russell Vought is advancing a radical ideological project decades in the making.

🧡 Keep your πŸ‘€ on Russell Vought. He’s quietly orchestrating a hostile takeover of American democracy. While headlines chase chaos, Vought is dismantling the federal government from withinβ€”purging experts, centralizing power in the Oval Office, & plotting to defy…

I am an American, born and raised. I am humiliated to have this individual as our POTUS - and I am angered by the stupidity of those who voted for him without caring enough to educate themselves about Project 2025 and the nitty gritty details of his plans.

You may be fearing your 401k is no longer enough for you to retire. But with all the cuts to NIH and Medicare you also won't live as long. So the policies are integrated.
