Sadly though many Americans still believe that money given to the rich will somehow find its way to their own pockets. Even though the wealthy are more likely to spend their cash overseas or hoard it in investments that create no jobs.

CPAC is proof the the GOP is brain dead and morally bankrupt.

The tax cut that would benefit working Americans the most would be to double the standard deduction. This would exclude most low income workers from having to pay any federal taxes while also reducing the tax bill substantially for middle and upper income workers. Of course the GOP is opposed.

This is how you do it. Other news agencies like Axios and CBS, stop rolling over! Grow a spine, stand up straight and fight!

Red states aren’t spared from senseless and chaotic DOGE cuts yet red state AGs don’t dare to speak out and protect their constituents. The GOP is a party of selfish cowards.

Trump and Musk don’t care if you get sick just like they don’t care how high your cost of living is. Their wealth insulates them from the consequences of their delusions and political games. Yet all Americans, red and blue, will suffer the effects of these actions for generations. #DOGE

Struggles over historical memory are ultimately “about the power of the story and who gets to control it,” Blight told me, rather than the strength of the facts. #NeverForgetJ6

Trump’s playbook is pretty thin: gaslighting and projection. Also, his adoration for real autocrats is quite apparent.

Marketing expenses is one of many reasons why the cost of healthcare is so expensive in the US. Prohibiting ads for prescription drugs would be a good first step towards lowering their cost.

NEW: Public health teams are being gutted by Trump's purge of federal employees, imperiling crucial, lifesaving work. "We are hollowing out our government in a way that is going to hurt people and is going to get people killed." w/ @deldeib.bsky.social: www.propublica.org/article/trum...

Trump is making the US less secure by replacing our military leaders with lower ranking, less experienced and less qualified political hacks. The question is why. Is this laying the groundwork for a possible coup if he can’t change the Constitution for a 3rd term?

Musk and his brogrammers can’t fix Tesla’s buggy and dangerous software, so he is using his DOGE wrecking crew to gut the agency that is responsible for regulating traffic safety. American roads will become more dangerous just so the world’s richest and most corrupt man can make even more money.

Federal workers are our last and best hope to restrain Trump’s worst impulses and to preserve a functioning, democratic government. They deserve our respect and need our support.

Too many of our elected officials- on both sides of the aisle- have a sense of entitlement. They forget that they work for their constituents. Gerrymandering and party politics have made them less accountable and more isolated.

Clueless Trump wants the Muskrat to double down on the DOGE mayhem that is putting the US into upheaval. This is what happens when two guys who have spent years living only in their social media filter bubbles have all the power and are surrounded by spineless, clueless “advisors”.

First eggs, now coffee. With Trump’s tariffs, disdain for science and war against environmentalism, coffee is more likely than not to just keep getting more expensive. In the future, maybe breakfast will be a delicacy that only the wealthy can afford.

GOP Congressman clearly annoyed that his constituents are demanding that he actually do his job instead of rubber stamping whatever the party tells him to.

Demand your GOP congressman cut their budget and lay off some staff. Congress spends 6.4billion/year on their own operations.

Great point. Any concerns people had about government agencies abusing their power should be multiplied now that the Trump admin has made it clear it believes laws no longer apply to them. Also, Musk and his crew now have a profit motive to misuse private info that no agency ever had.

Trump refuses to recognize or acknowledge the damage that the Muskrat is doing all across the country - even to his own supporters.
