In mid-2025, Congress passed over $4 trillion in tax cuts that mostly benefit the rich and corporations. In the 1st year following the passage of OBBBA... Corporate Profits - 26.6% ⬆ Consumer Prices - 4% ⬆ Real Hourly Wages - 0.1% ⬆ Tax cuts don't trickle down. We need to make work pay again.

During impeachment, the following happened: 1) Rudy visited known Russian spy Andrii Derkach 2) Bill Barr got copy of Hunter Biden's laptop 3) DOJ dropped Burisma corruption investigation started in 2016 4) Bill Barr set up a side channel to ingest Rudy's RU dirt Impeachment slowed none of that.

“The US State Department lobby used to display the flags of the roughly 200 countries with which the US maintains diplomatic relations. Now, it displays 200 American flags, to remind State Department employees who they work for.”
