"We are tired of being told that we can’t afford anything here but there are endless sums of money to bomb schools and hospitals on the other side of the world. Trump literally ran on that idea, before he became the exact thing he campaigned against.”

The immense economic power of the richest Americans allows them to wield immense political power, too. They can pour millions into our elections to elect politicians that will continue to rig the system in their favor. We must end this vicious cycle.

HHS Secretary RFK, Jr. has made no public comments about the Ebola outbreak for weeks. He reportedly refused to be briefed on last year’s measles outbreak. Multiple divisions of HHS are being run by acting directors. This is who’s in charge of the health of 330 million Americans?

An Iraqi soccer player was detained for hours when he arrived here for the World Cup. A Somali referee was outright denied entry. Iran's team is not allowed to stay in the U.S. The World Cup is supposed to bring the world together. Instead, Trump is using it as an excuse to be racist and cruel.

Thimerosol was removed from vaccines in U.S. 20 years ago, except for one seldom used multi-dose flu vaccine.  And what happened after Thimerosol was removed from vaccines in the U.S.?  Nothing, except autism rates actually increased (shifting diagnostic criteria).

Our tax code is rigged. It’s not fair that a billionaire can pay a lower tax rate than a public school teacher.
Graphic that reads: 
The Tax Code is Rigged

Working families pay an effective tax rate that is 4x higher than the average billionaire’s.
The biggest source of income for the ultra-rich—the increase in value of investments they don’t sell—is never taxed at all.
Trump’s “big, beautiful bill” made things even worse, giving trillions in tax breaks to corporations, billionaires, and millionaires.
