Why do so many feel like they've fallen behind?
It's not because of immigrants, trans people, DEI, the “deep state,” or any other bogeyman trotted out by the GOP.
It's because big corporations and billionaires have rigged markets and siphoned off most of the economy's gains.

Some federally funded community health centers — which serve rural areas with limited access to medical care — are still unable to access grant funding and are shutting down because of Trump's spending freeze.

Wherever you live in North Carolina, Trump’s action matters. Hundreds of water systems in the state were found to have elevated levels of PFAS in 2024. It’s estimated that nearly half of the nation’s tap water has PFAS in it.

Trump just pulled back a plan to regulate toxic, cancer-causing PFAS. It’s in hundreds of water systems in North Carolina.
PFAS, or “forever chemicals," are linked to cancer, birth abnormalities, and other health ailments. But Trump is pushing back a long-awaited plan to set federal limits on them.

Sen. Angus King blasts Trump's freeze of federal grants and loans, saying it's "blatantly unconstitutional."
"This is a profound constitutional issue. What happened last night is the most direct assault on the authority of Congress, I believe, in the history of the United States."

Hey folks! Look who's here! Monica Tranel ran against Ryan Zinke (Trump's interior secretary who had to resign for corruption) for a Montana House seat. Seems like she's looking toward the information sector-- help her out if you can. (She's really cool.)

REMINDER: Project 2025 includes a section that suggests changing the 40hr workweek to a 160hr work-month, so your boss could make you work extra hours with no overtime pay by cutting your hours later in the month. See page 592.
President Biden tried to raise the overtime threshold, which is the point where salaried workers are entitled to earn overtime pay. It would have helped millions. A Trump appointed judge in Texas just blocked it.
Please tell me you see which party is actually fighting for the average worker.

Take a wild guess who appointed that judge.
That’s right — Donald Trump.
Thanks to him, 4 million people will no longer get a raise.
It’s far from the first time he’s cheated working class people out of their money, and it certainly won’t be the last.
