Socialism is what they called public power. 

Socialism is what they called social security. 
 
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
 
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

Funneling money into his own businesses. How Trumpian.

As a criminal defense attorney, the vast majority of my cases were NOT immigrants.

So let's stop pretending immigrants are the problem when there's a 34-count convicted felon sitting in the White House.

The hypocrisy is outrageous.

Maybe he should focus on the falling economy! Not calling others name. Grow the f up!
The President of the United States seems oddly focused on me.

Shouldn't he be focused on the economy he's crashing?

Agencies across the federal government are gutting offices that enforce civil rights and antidiscrimination laws under a Trump administration push to shrink the workforce, weakening the government’s ability to deliver on legal obligations to protect workers’ rights.
Trump officials start gutting civil rights offices, as part of DOGE’s secret plan
Legal experts said that unwinding a civil rights-era bulwark designed to safeguard employees’ rights removes a crucial check on institutional power.

The wages of the richest 1% have skyrocketed 182% since 1979. 

Meanwhile, the wages of the bottom 90% have seen just 44% growth. 

Trickle down economics was always a hoax.

Come on, Wisconsin! Legalize it already! It's no different than alcohol. Tax and regulate it as such.
The numbers are clear.

The State of Illinois hit $2 billion in record-setting cannabis sales, generating more than $490 million in tax revenue.

Five years after we legalized adult-use cannabis, we’re seeing the economic impact of a thriving cannabis industry.

What the actual *?! The White House has designated Mr. Musk’s office, the United States DOGE Service, as an entity protected from public records requests and most judicial intervention until at least 2034, by classifying its documents as presidential records.

Of course he did.

Wow! Trump really said the quiet part out loud.

Taking “ownership” of Gaza? Blocking Palestinians from returning? He knows Americans don’t want this & it flies in the face of his whole “America First, no foreign wars” campaign. At this point, he’s not even pretending to care about public opinion.
