Intuit donated $1M to Trump’s inauguration. He's now planning to end the free IRS Direct File program. Apple donated $1M. Trump exempted most of Apple’s imports from tariffs. Coinbase donated $1M. Trump’s SEC dropped a major lawsuit against them. See how this works?

Trump’s purge of non-partisan public servants endangers public safety and the rule of law. This video is from Justice Connection, a resource group for former DOJ employees: youtu.be/RfRDKXyJJeg?...

Usually it doesn’t have a form as nice as your picture. This is more typical of mine.

Woke up to some late Spring snow as the forsythia is starting to bloom. Hard to believe that most of the dwarf iris will be blooming in a month.

You set the house on fire, watched it burn, and then lost your nerve and put it out. You now have a partially burned house. Great job.

It would in the House of Representatives. I’m not sure what Democrats’ chances are for getting a majority in the Senate.

If they stop payment you should definitely fight it. If it isn’t an obvious disability then find a lawyer who specializes in SSI.

This isn’t hypothetical. Let’s look at how Trump’s steel tariffs in 2018 affected the industry. Factories closed as downstream industries—like auto and construction—faced higher costs, losing $3.5B in output. 1/

It’s important to know that DOGE’s real purpose is to break our government, not eliminate fraud and waste.

Remember that today’s the day when you should only shop at small businesses.

Getting SSDI is already a long process that can take years. I fear it will now take even longer.

Our opinions do not matter in the Musk/Trump/Vance administration.

Has this reporter asked Elon Musk the same question?

The federal civilian worker payroll totaled $271 billion in 2022. The annual cost of permanently extending Trump's tax cuts that primarily benefited rich individuals? $400 billion. Keep this in mind as Trump and DOGE lay off thousands of federal workers.

Unfortunately even that doesn’t always change their minds about vaccines. My cousin-in-law and his mother-in-law died of COVID-19 but his wife and children were still against vaccination.

Personally, I don’t think the government should be cutting healthcare and food help for the disabled, elderly, and poor so the richest people can pay less in taxes.

The GOP passed a budget resolution tonight that will gut Medicaid, SNAP, and other vital programs — as 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. Why? To finance more tax cuts for the top 1%. We have socialism in this country for the rich, harsh capitalism for everyone else.

This was always about cutting the federal government so the tax cuts for the very wealthy don’t expire. This was never about “efficacy.”

Donald Trump promised not to touch Medicaid. 12 hours later, he broke that pledge by endorsing a budget that would strip basic health care from working families, children and seniors.
