Americans struggle to afford housing, healthcare, food, or higher education and those in elected office, except for a few, are focusing on everything BUT the affordability crisis.
Why? Because those who are benefiting from grinding down the working class fund their campaigns.

AOC: We heard that we should take your word that Medicaid will be protected — that we should trust you that no one is going to be affected by this. But as a woman, the word was given that my rights would not be taken away by the Supreme Court — and that wasn’t true.

100 days of Trump 2.0 and what do we have? Mass deportations, pardons for insurrectionists, federal purges, economic whiplash, and tariffs choking families.
