The federal civilian worker payroll totaled $271 billion in 2022.

The annual cost of permanently extending Trump's tax cuts that primarily benefited rich individuals? $400 billion.

Keep this in mind as Trump and DOGE lay off thousands of federal workers.

The FTC under Lina Khan:

-Stopped anticompetitive mergers
-Cracked down on junk fees
-Challenged Big Pharma price-gouging
-Stood up to monopolies like Amazon
-Protected farmers' right to repair

She's been an avid antitrust enforcer and defender of working people.
Today, Lina Khan departs the Federal Trade Commission.

Has anyone heard of any Mega-influencers reaching back into their communities and supporting others in need? Or have they joined the 1% and are sitting back and expecting the whole bootstraps thing? Does money truly corrupt or are we able to figure out a way to end this capitalist mindset?
