There are 33m companies in the USA. Only 21k employe 500 or more. And they only make up 23% of workers.
Trump and Elon are ignoring the more than 32m entrepreneurs that can't afford to build a new factory or pay tariffs or absorb cancelled contracts.

I wish I lived in a caring, thoughtful country where politics wasn't about winning an election next year, but helping our citizens this year.

The concentration of wealth in the hands of an elite few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy.
When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, the American people don't have a voice.
The result is demagoguery and corruption.

Public education is the backbone of American democracy.
In the richest country in the history of the world, we cannot abandon our teachers and our public schools.

Never before has there been such a gang of Republican politicians so willing to sell their souls for their own reelection at the expense of the rule of law and the health, safety, security and freedom of their children, grandchildren, constituents and country.

The CFPB is one of the American people’s best defenses against waste, fraud, and abuse.
Demolishing it will, of course, lead to more waste, fraud, and abuse.

You wouldn't dismantle the agency that protects consumers for corporate abuse and scams unless you wanted your rich buddies to be able to abuse and scam consumers.
