I think of my good friend Robbie on Memorial Day, as I do of others who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces. He was one of the kindest and thoughtful young men I've ever met. I wanted to share some thoughts about my friend — and what we owe each other as Americans.

Billionaire tax cuts are a policy choice.
Cutting healthcare for millions is a policy choice.
Taking from the poor and giving to the rich is a policy choice.
Make no mistake: Trump and the GOP are choosing to do this.

According to ProPublica, more than a dozen top executive branch officials and congressional aides sold stocks just before Trump's "Liberation Day" market crash.
Today would be a great day to ban public servants from trading stocks, don't you think?

60% of American households can’t afford a minimal quality of life.
Meanwhile, the 19 richest households saw their wealth increase by $1 trillion in 2024 — the biggest one-year increase ever.
Our problem isn't a lack of resources.
Our problem is ever-expanding inequality.

If there were ever a time to call your members of Congress and tell them to vote NO on a bill, now would be the time.

The tax breaks in the GOP's "big beautiful bill" would disproportionately help the wealthy — with the richest 1% reaping 25% of the benefits.
Meanwhile, it would kick nearly 9 million people off Medicaid over the decade and slash food assistance programs.
Reverse Robin Hood.

Cost of extending the expiring Trump tax cuts for the rich: $4.6 trillion
Cost of cutting corporate tax rate to 15%: $1 trillion
Both Trump proposals will explode the deficit and be used as an excuse to gut programs that millions rely on.
It's reverse Robin Hood.

The world’s richest 1% have more wealth than the bottom 95% put together, according to Oxfam.
There is no moral justification for this extraordinary level of inequality.
It's distorting politics, rigging our markets, and granting unprecedented power to a handful of people.
