www.newsweek.com/donald-trump... I wonder why that would be? He's tanking it as fast as he can. It will only get worse as all the cuts sink in & the unemployment rate shoots up again. At the same time his #tariffs will be kicking prices into high gear. What's not to like? 🤬 #Resist

A huge thank you to all of his constituents who turned out for this! If your congressperson does town halls, showing up & telling them your concerns is one of the most powerful things you can do. It demonstrates the strength of the movement - we're not just keyboard jockeys.

And who they didn't like

I don't think the Dems can stop the firings. But why aren't they proposing legislation that assures those that took the buyout get paid , and that all that are fired, get at least a year severance and health benefits? And any one with a health condition is covered the entire time they are sick?

I love this

Both sides of my family came to work the mines of North Ontario. My grandfather Charlie Angus came from Dundee and died at the mine before I was born. His widow Jenny was feisty and fearless. She taught me my politics and history. I wrote this song for her. www.youtube.com/watch?v=XJ0g...
