Elon Musk is about to become the first trillionaire.
The reason poverty exists in the wealthiest country on earth isn't because we can't feed the poor — it's because we can't satisfy the rich.
We should tax trillionaires out of existence.

It’s shocking that voters don’t make the connection that PACs and big money donors are buying legislation for self interest, deregulation and to take away rights from taxpayers. We the people (small donors) want taxpayers, not corporations, to benefit from legislation.

Don't threaten us with a good time
Trump: "What the Democrats will do is make Puerto Rico a state, make DC a state, they're gonna pack the Court. They're gonna end up with more electoral votes. They're gonna end up with 4 senators. And they're gonna do this 100%."

Meaning once we rig it.
Mike Johnson: "I think the midterm is gonna be a great one for us. We have a very favorable election map on the Republican side and it will be even more favorable once all the redistricting, uh, stuff has settled out."

Instead of continuing to fight about health insurance, why not both parties sit down, compromise, and try to fix it. Weren't you all voted in to try and help our country? This polarization and blaming is doing nothing but making it worse. Ya'll need to grow up and do your jobs.

Trump is boasting China will buy a “tremendous” amount of Soybeans (25 metric tons/year)
REALITY: That’s less than 2024 (27MT)
He’s counting on you not knowing that.
Yes, It’s better than 0. Yes, Farmers need it.
But putting out another fire he started does not a hero make.

Even if the House was fully functional, they're in session for an avg of 147 days and out for 218.
Under Speaker Johnson, Congress has been in session only 12 of the last 97 days, and he still won't swear in Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva.

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.
Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.
The people who need help are not the problem.
It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

Here’s the original clip of Ronald Reagan from April 25, 1987, where he delivered a complete and total rebuke against tariffs. Trump's calling Reagan’s words here “FAKE” and “fraudulent.” They’re 100% real. And the original clip is actually far worse for Trump, as much is left out of the ad:
