Donald Trump is President of, by, and for Wall Street. Megabank CEOs are cashing in on his deregulation to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars. Meanwhile, families are struggling with overdraft fees, credit card bills, auto loan payments, and more. It's rigged.

I remember when a writing teacher asked us to raise our hand if we've made more than $5 from our writing. Three of us did. We were told that's enough to put us in the top 1% of most successful writers through history. A little hyperbole, but not far off. I still think about it.

American families are getting flattened under sky-high costs for just about everything — groceries, rent, health care. Meanwhile, Donald Trump's focused on making his gold-encrusted ballroom even taller.

Republicans snuck a line into their "big beautiful bill” that could CLOSE nearly 200 Planned Parenthood locations. And guess what? 90% of those centers would be in states where abortion is LEGAL. It’s one step closer to banning abortion nationwide.

"Trump is unique among the nation’s presidents in having no interest in presiding over a functioning govt, let alone building institutions that will survive his term in office. That's why the analogies pundits have tried to draw between the early periods of other presidencies fall entirely flat."

If Musk/Trump want to save money they'd cancel the 2017 Trump tax law which this year will cost us more than $100 Billion in interest charges as paid for with borrowing. More than double the cost of U.S. AID humanitarian work. AID is a U.S. jobs program, giving American-made food, medicine, etc.
