We’re only finding out the savings on the front end. The admin NEVER mentions the returns from the investment (spending) on the back end. Are they even calculating any of that? I’m no accountant but even at a basic level, that has to be important. www.newsweek.com/donald-trump...

I organize online, but I show up in person. We can’t just throw hot takes out on social media. We have to call, write, testify, and march if we can. Show up and they’ll know the resistance is real.

Here’s a little secret: America isn’t $36 trillion in debt because working-class people have Social Security and Medicare. It’s because billionaires and corporations aren’t paying their fair share. End of story.

Anyone and everyone who cares about kids, please share. Spread info about resources and support to others. Bullies have always been among us and it is up to us to help support and just plain BE THERE for each other.

I wonder if Musk, Trump or anyone else in the executive branch would consider this fraud or abuse? Probably not since, if I remember right, Trump used this tactic for one of his properties in New York. www.propublica.org/article/fran...
