Americans are being crushed by Donald Trump’s reckless agenda.
On top of the largest cuts to Medicaid and Medicare in history, his tariffs are driving up insurance premiums, and it’s everyday Americans who pay the price.

Compare this to the marginal tax rates of the 1940s/50s.
Look at this graph.
The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened.
This is why we must build back union power.

The next part of the plan to steal the midterms and/or the 2028 election - an attempt to do a mid-decade census to take seats and electoral votes away from blue states. I knew this was coming.

A different way of practicing politics is possible - where we vigorously fight for what’s right while inviting people into our coalition, rather than pushing them away.

When The U.S. Government Tried To Replace Migrant Farmworkers With High Schoolers
In 1964, a program that brought migrant Mexican laborers to the U.S. ended. So the U.S. recruited American students to pick crops instead. When they saw their living conditions, strikes ensued.

Rep AOC: On this point of tax on tips, I want to tell you about the fine print. The cap is $25,000, jacking up taxes on people who make less than $50,000 while taking away their SNAP and health care. If you're living off tips, you do the math. Is that worth it? This bill is a deal with the devil

It shows just how shameless Trump and his allies are that they keep lying about a so-called “no tax on Social Security” provision in the bill—something that simply does not exist.
They just lie.

For those who spent weeks, months and even years howling about then-President Joe Biden's 'mental decline,' what say you about Trump's rambling?
