Through the IRS, the Trump administration is giving huge tax breaks to large companies, allowing them to avoid the alternative minimum tax. These are on top of the huge tax breaks in OBBBA. The changes will increase the federal deficit by hundreds of billions of dollars.

BIG milestone for SWLRT project with construction 95% complete, testing and operator training has begun. Today was a chance to celebrate years of work by over 4,000 Minnesotan laborers. The project has catalyzed $3.1 billion in new development with much more to come.

Service starts in 2027.

This level of barbarity is unconscionable.

Nobody should be comfortable with children and families starving to death.

It is morally indefensible to allow the manufactured and man-made starvation to continue. The United States must stop funding and enabling this genocide.
