In the GOP budget plan, 18.3 million kids could lose access to free school meals to give tax cuts to billionaires. We don't suffer from scarcity. We suffer from greed.

It cannot be overstated that Trump losing support from finance capital is only good if the force which seeks to remove him doesn't do so by courting finance capital, jilted as they are that the economic policy they celebrated 3 days ago has now harmed them more than it helped.

I'm so glad that the Dems are finally rolling up their sleeves & getting down to business by immediately nullifying their colleagues' polite, performative resistance to giving the GOP everything they want. 🌊

Lots of major media outlets took the Trump administration's evidence-free claims of criminality and gang ties at face value just a few weeks ago, playing a role in manufacturing consent for some of this country's worst human and civil rights abuses in the 21st century. abcnews.go.com/US/noncitize...

Watching Republicans rally to save the wealth of the richest man in the world while leaving working families struggling to afford groceries, housing and healthcare is the clearest indicator of who they believe they answer to. Oligarchs will never care about you.

I'm not one to wave an American flag around because I'm reflexively against jingoism, nationalism, etc. But seeing a billionaire hit a Nazi salute in front of the US presidential seal? Yeah, not in my country you friendless freak. As @aoc.bsky.social says: "In this country, we hate Nazis."

1. I have released my first post-election anti-trans risk assessment map. The national risk is high due to potential Republican national policies targeting trans people. DC has slightly increased in risk. Wyoming and Georgia go up as well. Subscribe to support my journalism. Lets dig in.
