#Trump isn't "America first" in any way. He and the Republicans are making things more expensive all while destroying the economy and causing people to lose their jobs.

#Trump says the #economy is great.

He's lying.

Trump says prices are going down.

He's lying.

Trump says #tariffs will bring back jobs.

He's lying.

Trump and his #maga sycophants are destroying the economy for working people to further enrich the 1%.

Save your money.

These corporations already extract too much from us.

➡️ corporate tax breaks
➡️ sub-living wages
➡️ disrespecting workers
➡️ complicity with #Trump and #maga

Keep your #money in your pocket! #Boycott!

Tesla just approved a $1 Trillion pay package for Elon Musk.
He’ll make $11.4 million AN HOUR while Tesla workers earn around $45K a year, barely enough to live on.
He’ll be a Trillionaire.
They’ll still be struggling to pay bills.
This is what unchecked, disgusting greed looks like.

Trump is 30 points underwater. Dems swept the special elections. People know the GOP is responsible for the shutdown. So the Dem Senators pulled out their big guns... and shot themselves in the foot.

#Cuomo is one if the most toxic people in politics.

Just like the other side of his coin, #Trump, Cuomo is a symptom of a system that doesn't value workers and puts corporations first.

63% of Americans say Trump has fallen short on the economy.

65% say he’s fallen short on looking out for the middle class.

66% say he’s fallen short on handling inflation and the cost of living.

Not one of these people care about anyone other than themselves.

We need them out of government and out of influence. Money isn't speech.

It's well past time for a federal maximum wage law.

EVERYWHERE #Trump can hurt workers, he has!

➡️ Gas is more expensive
➡️ Electructy is more expensive
➡️ Food is more expensive
➡️ Housing is more expensive
➡️ Childcare is more expensive

Our material wellbeing is unimportant to the rich.

This oligarch kakistocracy is ruining our country.
