Raskin: This is a gangster state. This is not basically a legitimate government that is sometimes doing corrupt things. This is an essentially corrupt enterprise. It's like watching The Sopranos. Every day, they get up and they try to figure out how to plunder and pillage the people

🗣️President Trump’s proposed FY26 budget would roll back WIC's fruit and vegetable benefits to pre-2021 levels, before USDA’s science-based increase.

They want to kill the "engine for social mobility" because they believe denying people college education helps keep them in power while the wealthiest among us have decided wealth is a zero sum game. Education brings income gains, which means you’re taking money that belongs to Trump, a real no no.
The bill that House Rs passed, which Trump is pushing, could result in at least 700,000 kids losing access to financial aid for higher ed, and raise costs for countless more.

We'll say it again because certain people need to hear it: pay for federal workers accounts for just 4.3% of the budget.
If the federal government were to fire every single worker, it would only reduce government spending by less than 5%.
