I want to draw attention to this as often as I can - not only is this *action* terrible, the intention behind it is to consolidate power and eliminate the three branches of government. The courts are already severely compromised. The power of the purse belongs to Congress.

“He’s not for labor. He’s just for the rich.” While ignoring Texans’ needs, Greg Abbott has accepted millions of dollars in campaign contributions from billionaires. We need elected officials that protect working Texans, not out-of-state billionaires that keep rigging the system against us.

Walmart spent $43.4B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2025, enough to give each of its 2.1M workers annual bonuses of $2,953. Last year, retiring CEO Doug McMillon pocketed $29.2M — his largest payday ever and 958x Walmart's median worker pay of $30,520. Textbook corporate greed.

Trump said deportations would lead to more jobs for American citizens. But according to new research, his cruel immigration raids actually COST jobs, including those held by American citizens. This was never about “protecting American workers.” It was always about racism and cruelty.
