The regime quietly ripped $3B in food stamps and Medicaid away from families. So Hawaii's governor just fought back with a genius move: a new 13% tax bracket on millionaires to fully fund the stolen aid. Read how a blue state just outsmarted Trump: 👇 www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/judge-orde...

Ossoff: He’s trying to put his face on the money. He's building a monument to himself . But see, Atlanta, he's doing these things now because no one will honor him when he’s gone… because he's a failed president and a national disgrace.

SNAP is not the reason your taxes are high. SNAP recipients don’t need to “just go get a job”. Most of them work. The rest are disabled, elderly, children or caregivers. People need & deserve assistance Your taxes fund wars and tax cuts for the ultra rich Be mad about that

I hope it's clear to everyone now that Trump really is going for it - he's trying to become a dictator. I don't know if he'll succeed, but he's working to install himself as an autocrat unaccountable to voters. And he's weaponizing the military against Americans who oppose him as part of that effort
