This wage tracker shared by Paul Krugman shows that the wages of the lowest wage earners increased significantly during the Biden administration. Since Trump of course their wages are falling back down to the "before Biden" days. Since we don't have solid employment data now, we need to search:

No Kings protests in thousands of American small towns today—peaceful and successful gatherings. “This is what democracy looks like” was one of the chants in my small town. It restores your faith! We can overcome Trump’s tyranny!

If you look at recent ANES polling results, more than 60% of voters in every economic class support a legal path to citizenship for illegal immigrants who don't have a serious criminal record. The numbers hold over 60% in Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and even Ohio. Public opinion is changing!

Information from Pew Research can be trusted. This graph reveals what I am convinced is in large part why progressives and Dems have lost so much public support. Costs for child care, housing, insurance and health care are all increasing while incomes decline. The working class is discouraged.

The White House has posters of arrested immigrants on the lawn boasting about its "round up." Including those arrests is an Irish woman who has a green card and has lived in the US for decades. She was once arrested for possession of an illegal drug years ago. She is now in ICE jail. Feel safer?

Bank fees will skyrocket from five bucks to $35for any overdraft. Bank profits will soar, the working class just trying to pay their bills on time will get suckered by Trump and his Congressional connivers. Was this a MAGA goal?
