Shut down MAGA’s war on Americans!

END the hostile takeover of our government

HALT the funding of war against Americans

STOP the abductions of neighbors, stealing healthcare from seniors, & taking food from kids.

No funding for fascism.
No dollars for dictatorship.
No bankrolling billionaires.

They're not even trying to hide the grift anymore.

This week, Trump's crypto company held a conference at Mar-A-Lago where Admin officials & Wall Street execs wined & dined together.

Just the latest from the most corrupt admin in American history & Republicans are still silent.

JUST DROPPED: Supreme Court decision on (most of Trump's tariffs). They're unconstitutional. They've always been unconstitutional. Turn 'em off.

This wasn't a trade war; it was a pointless and illegal diversion.

The Roberts Court has decided YOU have no rights the president is bound to respect—but billionaires and big business do have rights even the King must respect.

The Supreme Court is a bastion of oligarchy.

The Roberts Court has a clear set of guidelines: the president can do anything he pleases, so long as it does not violate the rights of the owning class.

The Supreme Court strikes down Trump's emergency tariff power on a 6-3 vote. The opinion, at least on first read, looks to be *very bad* for the president.

The White House Plan B was to try and invoke other authority to do the same tariffs, but the Court's language seems to say that won't fly.

In the 1st year of Trump’s second term, U.S. economic growth fell to a nine-year low, and domestic job growth fell to a 16-year low (excluding the pandemic).

The White House keeps insisting this is the greatest economy Americans have ever seen. Reality suggests otherwise.
