I’m sure this will be popular. 5 million people are in default right now. The Dept of Ed estimates as many as 10 million by end of next year because of job market.

Among the Trump images and documents the Trump DOJ doesn’t want us to see, despite a specific legal mandate to disclose them.
This photo, file 468, from the Epstein files that includes Donald Trump has apparently now been removed from the DOJ release.

AG Bondi, is this true? What else is being covered up? We need transparency for the American public.

Trump (again) dangles one time cash payments from tariff funds.

Taxing us in the form of higher prices and giving a small part of our money back.

While he gets rich on crypto and self dealing.

Turns out Republicans’ constituents need healthcare too.

They’re calling them about Obamacare rate increases, as subsidies expire.

Wait until they realize what they’ve done to Medicaid, and how that will affect Medicare, rural hospitals, and more.
