Undocumented immigrants pay almost $100 billion in taxes each year. The top 1% evade $163 billion in taxes each year. Stop pretending that immigrants are the ones taking advantage of taxpayers.

The tRump/Musk "feud" demonstrates why there are certain aspects of our government that should not be exclusively in private hands. Our satellite systems, our space program, and I would argue our healthcare, prisons, and vital utilities should not be for-profit enterprises.

The majority passed this on the "shadow docket" without explaining the reason for their decision. What is the logic for allowing this while it is still on appeal in the courts? Once they've had access to the data, the damage is done.

This brings new meaning to why tRump allowed Musk unrestricted access to our personal information. Peter Teal, Musk's PayPal co-founder and J. D. Vance's benefactor is the founder of Palantir.

Congressional salaries are $174 thousand at a year at minimum plus allowances. Is it too much to ask that they all read the bills that are passed through Congress. How many times have we heard, " I didn't know that was in the bill?.

Isn't it absurd that we have people in Congress, in the wealthiest country in the world, who say we can't afford to give healthcare to our citizens unless they prove they jump through hoops to prove they can't work while they get A+ healthcare at taxpayers expense?

tRump & the tRumpublicans aren't even trying to pretend there will be a trickle down. They're telling us directly that their cuts to social services are to make way for tax cuts to the wealthiest. There's no effort to reduce the deficit, only an effort to make their tax cuts not seem as destructive.

Consider this! People were outraged when they learned that Google, Facebook, and other social networks were collecting personal data. Shouldn't there be greater outrage that tRump gave unrestricted access to all of our most sensitive information to Musk & his minions.

There's a reason the private prison industry invests heavily in both parties. Their profits once derived from the "war on drugs" are now finding huge profits in tRump's mass deportations and detention policies. They have incentive to push for policies that maintain their revenue stream.
