According to a study by Penn Wharton, Trump's "big, beautiful bill" that pays for tax breaks for the rich by cutting Medicaid leads to a $700 LOSS in income for the working class, a $1,000 LOSS in income for the poor & a $389,000 INCREASE for the top 0.1%.
We must defeat it.

Fighting back works, and here's the proof.
After Donald Trump fired half of all federal education workers, I called for an independent investigation.
Now, that investigation is underway. We're going to get the American people answers.

"The President is selling access and influence to the highest bidder. Qatar isn't giving a $400 million jet out of the goodness of their hearts – they expect something in return. That's how transactional relationships work, and nobody understands transactional relationships better than Trump."
Trump caught in major corruption scheme
Even for Trump, the overt corruption is staggering.

When Trump...
-Holds a private dinner for his crypto coin buyers
-Promotes Teslas on the White House driveway on behalf of a multibillionaire who spent $277M backing him
-Uses state visits to advance his hotel business
It's corruption, plain and simple.

It's hard to adequately describe how scary it is to watch mainstream political journalists barely push back against a sitting U.S. president accepting a $400M plane from a foreign government that would literally be designated as an emergency command-and-control center during a nuclear war.

The president has covered the Oval Office in gold, is planning a massive military parade for his birthday, and is now accepting $400,000,000 luxury planes from foreign powers as personal presents.

Quite something that Schumer had his NYT op-ed justifying his surrender ready to go tonight while not informing the public (including his constituents) of his plans. He seems to think this is just an old-school pr battle. He's never been more wrong.

Regardless of what Senators do, the fact is that the American people will not take tyranny lying down. People are fucking furious and willing to fight back.
The Senate has betrayed us—but the fury is building.

It's clear Chuck Schumer is not cut out to lead the senate Democrats. There needs to be a vote of no confidence and he needs to be replaced with someone willing to fight. Trump and Elon are dismantling democracy while Schumer whines and capitulates.
