After-tax income under the Trump/GOP budget:
-People making less than $17/k year: LOSE $1000
-People making between $17k and $51k/yr: LOSE $700
-People making over $4.3M/year: GAIN $389,000
This is what class warfare looks like.

Trump is trying to fire three members of the Consumer Product Safety Commission the agency that ensures products like cribs, toys, and electronics are safe. The removals are illegal and undermine the commission’s independence. But since when has the Trump admin cared about following the law?

What we’re watching this week is the President of the United States using his public office to personally enrich himself. He’s using the office we put him in to take bribes from foreign governments.
It’s everything our Founders feared. And we’re letting it all happen right before our eyes.

Library of Congress staff just showed what resistance looks like. After Trump abruptly fired Dr. Carla Hayden, the respected Librarian of Congress, he tried to install Todd Blanche, his former personal lawyer and current Deputy Attorney General, as acting librarian. Staff weren’t having it.

Trump canceled Biden’s plan then brought it back w/his name on it.
