Earlier this year, we published an article headlined “10 Ways to Enrich the Trumps and the MAGA Movement.”
We failed, though, to consider that the president might simply force the US government, i.e. us taxpayers, to straight-up pay him hundreds of millions of dollars.

Remember: The recipe for economic growth isn’t tax cuts for the rich. It’s investment in our people — in health care, infrastructure and education — to build a strong middle class.

L.A. & D.C. are just the beginning.
Trump’s fascist regime will expand across this country, targeting Democratic cities and Black & Brown communities first. It may not be on your doorstep yet, but it’s coming.
When it does, will you be ready?
