As Trump tries to dismantle the Department of Education, remember that his plan to cut the corporate tax rate to 15% would give the 100 largest corporations a tax cut larger than the entire department's K-12 budget. Really think about how twisted this all is.

Not just Virginia, this is a country wide effort to disenfranchise millions of likely Dem voters. Why they aren't screaming from the roof tops to CHECK YOUR VOTER REGISTRATION STATUS !!!! Is beyond me🙄

Statement on Donald Trump's Interview with Elon Musk

Trump's entire campaign is in service of people like Elon Musk and himself - self-obsessed rich guys who will sell out the middle class and who cannot run a livestream in the year 2024.
