Trump is shutting down Job Corps—kicking vulnerable young people out of housing, job training, and education programs with zero plan. Don’t tell me this man gives a damn about the working class when he’s gutting the very programs that help folks get on their feet.

Donald Trump’s cuts in medical and scientific research will destroy progress in these fields and the industries that resulted. His war against Harvard reflects this. The US has 40% of the Nobel Prize winners because they studied and did research here. This is such stupid policy.

Overnight, House Republicans passed a budget that would give huge tax breaks to the ultra-wealthy at the expense of everyone else. Now, it's on to the Senate. Call your senators and demand they do everything in their power to stop this theft: 202-224-3121

A disgrace and foreign policy debacle: Trump’s aid cuts leave food for millions mouldering in storage. More than 60,000 metric tons of U.S. food aid that could supply 3.5 million people, are sitting in storage due to USAID cuts and are at risk of expiry. www.reuters.com/world/us-aid...

In 2024, Biden signed into law a $105 billion measure designed to end a shortfall in air traffic controllers. In 2025, Trump came in and instead began firing hundreds of them. So you can see how clear it is that Biden is to blame for the shortage now.

I just really need everybody to understand that everything that’s happening in and to the global economy now (and all the businesses and people in it) is the entirely predictable result of the intentional decisions of one guy who doesn’t understand how the global economy works.

This isn't hypothetical. The coming days are bringing higher prices and disrupted supply chains, this time not because of a pandemic or a war, but self-inflicted by our country's government under this president.

Container ship departures from Asia are moving toward pandemic levels. Dock workers, truckers, and other Americans will be losing work. Consumer prices will rise. Maybe that's more than wokeness right now.

The richest man in the world spent more money than most of us will see in our lifetimes to lose a state Supreme Court race by 10 points. And the fact his $25 million was a drop in the bucket compared to what he's spent on other elections is exactly why we must overturn Citizens United.
