Not surprisingly, Trump’s overall tax and tariff proposals would make the very rich much richer and working families poorer.
If you earn less than $360,000 a year, your taxes are going to go way up.
If you’re in the top 1%? Don’t worry. You’ll save big.

This isn't an accident. They want to declare Social Security "unfixable", distract everyone from the fact that they are the ones who broke it and then disolve the whole thing, pocketing the funds in the form of massive tax breaks for billionaires.
DOGE/SSA marked this person dead and *removed his savings from his bank account,* cancelled his social security and Medicare. #seattle https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/politics/heres-a-dead-person-on-social-security-in-seattle-with-plenty-to-say/

Musk is rich because you gave him $38 billion in tax money to make that.
He is happy to tell you what you don’t need.
He’s also picking a side in foreign policy, and it’s not our side

🚨 THIS IS DICTATOR BEHAVIOR 🚨
Trump just declared that he will VOID Biden’s pardons — including for members of the January 6th Committee. This isn’t just an attack on Biden — it’s a direct threat to political dissent and a chilling escalation of political persecution.

Aside from the obvious direct harm, what's so irritating is that a handful of spoiled ignorant assholes are breaking things that we all built together. They weren't content to own almost everything, they had to wreck what little they didn't own. It's vandalism on a mass scale and has to be punished

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why.
What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?

So, can states circumvent this BS and order vaccine stocks from other countries without those shipments getting impounded at the border? ‘Cuz LFG, @gavinnewsom.bsky.social
First, they said postponed; now the meeting is canceled. That means no flu shots next year.
“'It’s a six-month production cycle,' Dr. Offit said. 'So one can only assume that we’re not picking flu strains this year.'"
Fundamentally, that's a form of mass murder.

F.D.A. Cancels Meeting of Vaccine Experts Scheduled to Advise on Flu Shots
The cancellation plays into fears among scientists who worry that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will use his position as health secretary to sow doubts about vaccines.

NO. At a time of massive income and wealth inequality we should not be giving tax breaks to billionaires. We should demand that they start paying their fair share.
