Retired from minimum wage workforce when price of gas got higher than paycheck. Instead of renting we were invested in affordable property. Those options have disappeared for average young families so Americans elected a King to make life easier? Idiocracy

You know what the real scam of Social Security is? If you make above $168,800/year, the government STOPS taxing you on every dollar above that. Billionaires like Musk and Trump NEVER pay their fair share — and now they want to take OUR money away!!?!

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.

This letter appeared in the Bloomsburg PA Press Enterprise this morning. I am assured the writer is who he purports to be, an Air Force veteran.

Donald Trump sold middle-class Americans a lie to get elected. 📉He's cratering the stock market 📈Egg prices are skyrocketing 🛒His blanket tariffs will raise everyday costs The only winners in Trump's economy are billionaires. It's BS.

Israel has cut off electricity to a plant that provides drinking water to 500,000 people. This is collective punishment. Its war crime Our govt is "urging" Israel to restore power. Or? Will they halt arms exports? Impose sanctions? End military assistance. Nah. Its just words

There were howls of protest and denial from the GOP any time we pointed out that Republicans want to cut Social Security. Now the most powerful official in the White House goes on TV and calls it "the big one to eliminate."

America was given a choice between a lawless, amoral monster and a qualified, intelligent, joyful woman of color—and it chose the monster. We need to reckon with the reality of what that says about so many of us here. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/america-ch...

As a former Fulbright Scholar (in Chile), I personally understand how terrifying this is. U.S. citizens around the world & foreign nationals in the U.S. — all Fulbright Scholars — have now had their incomes eliminated & are stranded. DOGE is an illegal, criminal operation that must be shut down.

The GOP talking point today is: "It's going to take unconventional methods to get us out of the mess we've been in the past 4 years" "The mess" - booming stock markets - unprecedented job growth - strong GDP - wage growth - plateauing inflation - strong allies & trading partners - a sane POTUS

The Trump-Musk Regime is reportedly planning to cut as much as 50% of the IRS workforce. Make no mistake: this will starve the government of revenue by making it easier for the rich to evade taxes — which the top 1% already do to the tune of $163 billion a year. Hello?

1. Trump declares tariffs that tank the stock market. 2. Trump and Musk buy cheaper stocks. 3. Trump rescinds tariffs, reviving the stock market. 4. Trump and Musk sell more expensive stocks.

Feel free to save meme and share widely. The more everyone understands what we are dealing with, the easier it will be predict their next moves and outwit them. It's important that the mainstream media and Democrats understand malignant narcissism so they can stop acting like he is even human.
