In addition to kicking millions of Americans off their health insurance, cutting taxes for the wealthy, and adding trillions to the deficit, other parts of Trump’s Budget are also harmful and unpopular.

We need to make sure more people learn about them.

Donald Trump in 2016: “Obviously the war in Iraq was a big fat mistake.“

Trump was right.

Let’s not repeat that mistake in 2025 by getting dragged into a war with Iran.

We’ve uncovered fraud, waste, and abuse! ICE has now exceeded its congressionally approved budget. ICE is violating the Antideficiency Act by spending beyond Congressional authorization.

Republicans want to cut Medicaid, nutrition & education to give a TRILLION dollars in tax breaks to the 1% & large corporations.

Now they’re going after Medicare, which would make our broken health care system even worse. Thousands will die unnecessarily.

We must stop them.

They’re not banning books because they’re dangerous—They’re banning them because they expose the truth.

📚 Erased tells the history they tried to bury—& now they’re coming for it. If it’s “too dangerous to teach,” you need to read it.
