Trump and Republicans are facilitating the largest transfer of wealth from poor and working people to the rich with their budget bill. How? By kicking 14 million Americans off of their health care to give billionaires a giant tax cut.

This dismantling of key government services developed over the years will have dire consequences for our environment and our health. Our self appointed #Autocrat seems to only see the world from a money and power perspective and he does not even understand that.

Phang: If you have to resort to deceit to get something done, that tells me what you’re doing is wrong. What’s happening is a dup-and-scoop: people are being duped into going to court, their cases get dismissed, and then they’re scooped up by ICE and deported under expedited removal.

Small victories against Trumpism can lull us into thinking we are winning. M Gessen "...just when we most need to act — while there is indeed room for action and some momentum to the resistance — we tend to be lulled into complacency by the sense of relief on the one hand and boredom on the other."

"But even as his companies did poorly, Mr. Trump did well. He put up little of his own money, shifted personal debts to the casinos and collected millions of dollars in salary, bonuses and other payments. The burden of his failures fell on investors and others who had bet on his business acumen." l

What's your priority? Will this affect you or someone you know? More tax cuts for billionaires or healthcare for millions? GOP prioritizes the very wealthy and billionaires getting more tax breaks. #VotingMatters Who you vote for matters. Vote for Democrats if you don't like GOP priorities.

One of Trump's justifications for his tariffs is that he wants international companies to come to the United States to produce their products here. But he doesn't use the same logic when it's international students coming to the United States to produce knowledge here.

This is illegal for sure. Trump is acting like a Mafia Don that wants to control everything and expects total allegiance to whatever he says or does. Only weak people do that because they are unable to persuade people to do as they say because what they say often makes no sense.

Do you need any more reasons why to not support or vote for the #GOPMAGACult in office? Concentrating wealth in the hands of a few and then giving them even more tax breaks is an insane policy. The GOP needs to be voted out of office. Regime Change is needed now. Support Democrats, not Autocrats.

Ask and affirm that candidates running for office on all levels support #Democracy and our US Constitution and oppose the #GOPMAGACult's #Fascism and dismantling of our government before you vote. #VotingMatters and voting to replace those who support our self appointed #Dictator is a priority.

Other countries provide free healthcare while US is cutting healthcare for those that can least afford it. Reason - more important to #GOPMAGACult to give more tax breaks to their billionaire donors & corporations. That's what people get for either not voting or checking candidate's positions.
