1. The "big beautiful bill" that Republicans advanced late last night is a massive transfer of wealth from the poorest Americans to the richest.

The bottom 20% of earners will see their income DECLINE BY 10%.

The top 0.1% will get a GIGANTIC WINDFALL.
The ugly truth about Trump's "big, beautiful bill"
On the campaign trail in 2024, Trump pledged to improve the economic conditions of the working class.

Trump and Republicans can lie about their plan to cut taxes for the rich, but votes don’t lie.

We asked them: will you rule out tax cuts for those making over $1 billion? Republicans voted no.

So we tried no tax cuts for $1 billion companies like Amazon? No.

That says it all.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk are closing Social Security offices, firing the workers, and even shutting down the phone lines.

Today I pressed Trump's Social Security nominee if missing checks are just another way to cut benefits.

He didn't know...

Well I do — I'm voting NO.

Now this is a brilliant solution to allow Trump's lawless behavior--eliminate the judiciary branch altogether. The image below is a reminder of how that worked out for Germany.

This isn't how gov't is supposed to work: The acting commissioner of Social Security admitted “I was ticked at the governor of Maine for not being real cordial to the president,” so I ended a program in Maine. www.pressherald.com/2025/03/25/s...

They call it the SAVE Act, but what it really does is Stop Americans from Voting Everywhere.

They want to make it harder to vote. Point, blank, PERIOD. 

The best way to stop this anti-voting bill is by making our voices heard.
