This isn’t over—we can still stop the GOP bill. I’m staying in the fight for every baby who shouldn’t go hungry. Every senior who shouldn’t get kicked out of a nursing home. Every American who shouldn’t lose their health care.
Now is the time to call your senators.

Trump’s post was 7 minutes after the NYSE opened—before Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced the 90-day pause on tariffs. The sequence and timing directly support insider trading and market manipulation. By informing people to buy before the policy was publicly disclosed, Trump broke the law.

We have to stop dividing our problems into “left and right" and start seeing our problems like “top vs bottom.”
737 billionaires in the U.S. have a combined wealth of 5.5 trillion. And they funneled it out of the middle class.
Then Trump keeps us fighting with each other while they steal more.
