Republicans are gutting public school funding. Why? Sure, part of it is to transfer more wealth to the top, but Republicans know an educated citizenry opposes them. Don't believe me? Ask Karl Rove: #HandsOffPublicSchools

Republicans are voting tonight at 10PM—in the dead of night—on their Big Bad Billionaire Bill: $1.1 trillion in tax cuts for the rich paid for by Medicaid cuts and hungry children. They hope you won’t notice. But we will call out Republican’s betrayal of America’s families.

For the first time in modern US history, Moody’s has downgraded the United States credit rating from Aaa to Aa1. A direct consequence of economic mismanagement & tariff terrorism by Trump and the GOP, which will lead to higher interest rates on mortgages, credit cards, car loans, and student loans.

RFK Jr. went on Fox News and lied through his teeth. He said they weren’t cutting critical research. Terminated grants so far have included studies on cancer, Alzheimer’s, HIV, and tuberculosis. Ohio researchers lost funding for kidney disease and TB projects. This guy doesn’t care about health.

He stood there on Jan 20 and falsely mouthed the words to protect and defend our Constitution. Asked now on Meet the Press if he thinks he needs to uphold the Constitution, he says, “I don’t know.” Translation: No. Woe to America and the utter failure of putting this man back in our Oval Office.

It was never about saving money—or rooting out waste, fraud, and abuse. Musk bought himself a presidency, and in exchange, Trump handed him the keys to our government so he could tear down anything in his way, siphon off our data w/his hackers, and line his pockets w/more fat government contracts.
