People need to wake up and realize what is happening. How does it look to you that the President is renovating bathrooms while people will lose their healthcare or have to pay much more for healthcare and people lose their supplements to pay for food?
15 million Americans are going to lose their health care.

Seriously, what has happened to these ICE agents to make them behave this way? It’s disgusting.
ICE followed the mother into a school and aggressively detained her along with her children.
This is so heartbreaking 💔

I have the same question.
How is it that we, the taxpayers, owe Trump $230M? The grift continues

I have the same question.
This is not ok. Anyone in elected office shouldn’t post this kind of crap. He works for us, not the other way around.
The president of the United States posted a video of him defecating on the American people. Many in my profession normalized it. This is a big reason why we are where we are.

Billionaire tax cuts are a policy choice.
Cutting healthcare for millions is a policy choice.
Cutting food assistance for children is a policy choice.
Taking from the poor and giving to the rich is a policy choice.
Make no mistake: Trump and the GOP just chose to do this.

I also stand with those working these shows.
I know we keep focusing on Colbert and Kimmel as we should, but we also need to remember there are hundreds of people who work for these shows who also just lost their jobs because of this bullshit, and most of them are probably not millionaires.

This isn’t right. How come we don’t value certain jobs?
94% of teachers have had to dip into their own pockets to buy school supplies. An estimated 1 in 6 have second jobs during the school year to make ends meet.
The average Wall Street employee got a record $244,700 bonus last year.

The decision of European leaders to all join Zelensky in his White House visit was one of the savviest diplomatic moves I’ve seen in a long time.
