44% of all American children benefit from Medicaid or SNAP. Republicans' budget guts both programs. Yes: the so-called "party of family values" is putting 34 MILLION kids' health care access and food security at risk.

Trump gave billionaire Elon Musk & DOGE access to sensitive taxpayer data like social security numbers. Your data is not safe with DOGE. Identity theft will likely increase because of this access and could potentially impact tens of millions of working people: www.epi.org/publication/...
Washington Post headline reading: “DOGE aims to pool federal data, putting personal information at risk; The goal — a centralized system with unprecedented access to data about Social Security, taxes, medical diagnoses and other private information — would create a multitude of vulnerabilities, experts say.”

Dear Supreme Court,
We’d really appreciate it if you would uphold the US Constitution.  It’s your job.  No, really.  It’s literally your job.

The Trump tax cuts in a nutshell: 1) Facilitate a massive giveaway to corporations and the rich 2) Send this the national debt soaring in the process 3) Use this as an excuse to cut spending on government programs the rest of us rely on It was a scam from the start.

Elon Musk said he would do a live TV interview with Jon Stewart. They said fine lets do it. But of course he is now refusing to do it.

When you think about it, it’s pointless to listen to Trump speak. Because he literally lies virtually every time he opens his mouth. We’ve never, ever had that in a public figure before. He’ll lie tonight about everything, so unless it was your job to watch tonight’s speech, why the hell would you?

At tonight’s State of the Union, Trump will have one goal: to distract. His policies are wreaking havoc on the economy and upending American lives, and he will lie, blame, and distract to avoid any bit of responsibility. Don’t fall for it.

Why does Elon Musk hate Social Security. Because what you pay in gets paid out with no profits. If Social Security is abolished the $1.6tn a year paid out will instead go through Private pensions, and it will be $1tn for them, $0.6tn for you. It's more mass theft.

The GOP's tax cuts for their billionaire donors ballooned the deficit, so they're blaming the problem on Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid — demanding cuts to programs that millions of Americans rely on. It's socialism for the rich, harsh capitalism for everyone else.

The Trump-Vance-Musk regime is not only undermining democracy in the US. It is laying the foundation for undermining democracies around the world. The emerging battle will be global democracy vs. a global oligarchy. The US is emerging on the side of global oligarchy.

If Trump and the GOP extend their 2017 tax cuts, the top 1% will make out like bandits — taking home an extra $165 per day. But the bottom 60% will get shafted — getting only an extra $1.10 per day in exchange for massive cuts to Medicaid and SNAP. It's reverse Robin Hood.

This has always been the GOP's strategy: 1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves. 2) Explode the deficit. 3) Demand cuts to programs that millions of people rely on. 4) Repeat. Don't let them get away with it.

Never forget that Trump was the culmination of 40 years of stagnant wages, widening inequality, corruption, dog-whistle politics, and economic gains for the rich. If we fail to address this, we should expect future Trumps as far as the eye can see.

I’ve been in or around politics for over a half-century now. I’ve watched as corporations ransacked our system. In 1952, the corporate share of federal tax revenue was 32%. In 2020, it was down to 7%. Here’s how we break the corporate oligarchy and return power to the people.
