$170B for ICE and Border Patrol $40B for Argentina $1B to refurbish Trump's Qatar jet $230M for Trump's DOJ "compensation" $200M for Kristi Noem's jets $98M for Trump's golf outings But no money to lower your healthcare costs.

The upward redistribution of wealth over the past 50 years has shifted $80 trillion from the bottom 90% of Americans to the top 1%. That’s $80 trillion that would have gone into the paychecks of the working class. The greatest trick of all is trickle-down economics.

As he unleashes troops to combat "crime," Trump is simultaneously gutting the cops on the beat that stop corporations from harming us — the EPA, IRS, SEC, Labor Department, FTC, CFPB, Consumer Product Safety Commission, FDA, and Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Hello?

A little math about that prison camp in Florida. $450 million per year for 3,000 people is $150,000/person per year.
The cost for one person receiving SNAP for one year is $2256, yet they're telling us that's too expensive.

The 35 richest Republican members of Congress have a net worth of $2.5 billion. They stand to gain from the GOP budget's tax cuts that disproportionately help the rich. Meanwhile, they're cutting Medicaid and food assistance for millions of their constituents.

Bernie Sanders: “It is obscene to give tax breaks to the top 1% by throwing more than 16 million people off health care, cutting nutrition for hungry kids and making it harder for working class young people to go to college. That is exactly what Trump's budget reconciliation bill does.”

Billionaire tax cuts are a policy choice. Cutting healthcare for millions is a policy choice. Cutting food assistance for children is a policy choice. Taking from the poor and giving to the rich is a policy choice. Make no mistake: Trump and the GOP are choosing to do this.

Why did Congressional Republicans jam through an unpopular budget with the largest Medicaid cuts in history? It could be because nearly 70% of them would financially benefit from the bill's extension of Trump's tax cuts for the rich. Reverse Robin Hood.

60% of American households can’t afford a minimal quality of life. Meanwhile, the 19 richest households saw their wealth increase by $1 trillion in 2024 — the biggest one-year increase ever. Our problem isn't a lack of resources. Our problem is ever-expanding inequality.

Trump's budget calls for a 22% cut that would hit the CDC, NIH, FEMA, EPA loan programs aimed at protecting drinking water, and much more. All to finance giant tax cuts for the rich. Oh and Trump is proposing a record $1 trillion military budget. "Fiscal responsibility."

Prices will go up. There will be shortages. National parks will be a mess. Air travel, based on what we're seeing in Newark, could go sideways. Measles will spread and fall COVID shots could get delayed. And the president might throw himself a big birthday parade! Widespread anger is coming.

100 billionaire families spent $2.6 billion in the 2024 election. 70% of these donations went to Republicans. Now, Trump and the GOP are gutting the FEC — which enforces campaign finance and anti-corruption laws. See how this works?

People are NOT understanding what empty cargo ships from China means. It means no work for dock workers. No work for truck drivers, no work for retailers, fewer dollars circulating. The cascade effect is just mind boggling.

Trump's incompetence is everywhere. His regime can’t keep military secrets. It can’t maintain financial stability. It can’t protect children from measles. While we resist Trump’s authoritarianism, we also need to highlight his utter inability to govern America.

Trump’s wealthy donors will weather his tariff storm just fine – while you pay more at the checkout line. And don’t forget: they get a new round of big fat tax cuts, too. It’s government for the rich, by the rich.

If you are Ukrainian, it's very difficult not to lose faith in humanity, justice and anything good in this world now. The betrayal is in the air, we are being accused of the war that has been unleashed upon us. Former partners side with our enemies. Past promises of support are forgotten.

ICE can enter anyone’s home, and abduct and deport them to a foreign prison indefinitely because the DOJ says they can ignore the 4th, 5th and 15th amendments. If there’s no due process or protections against illegal search and seizures, none of us are safe.

Trump and Republicans are gearing up to eliminate Head Start programs, which provide vital childcare to nearly 1 million kids. SNAP, which helps feed nearly 14 million children, is also on the chopping block. And they wonder why more people aren’t having children. Hello?
