Just a random reminder that trickle-down economics was invented by conservatives in the 1980s to justify massive tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations. It’s been nothing short of a disaster.

Throughout history, tyrants have understood that their major enemy is an educated public.
Trump is no different. That’s why he’s trying to control not just what we do – but what we think.

Trump's tariffs, tax cuts, and austerity budget are a windfall for the super-rich at the expense of the poor.

For years we've heard from the right about "welfare queens" and other so-called "freeloaders" pulling one over on the government.
But actually, it's the wealthy who are the real freeloaders — pulling one over on us all by skirting their taxes.
Where is the outrage over that?

Trump just fired the three Democratic members of the Consumer Product Safety Commission.
The CPSC regulates the safety of everyday consumer products.
Guess who recently sued the agency and claimed that it's "unconstitutional"?
Amazon.

Trump and Republicans are gearing up to eliminate Head Start programs, which provide vital childcare to nearly 1 million kids.
SNAP, which helps feed nearly 14 million children, is also on the chopping block.
And they wonder why more people aren’t having children.

Elon backtracked on DOGE savings goals from $1 trillion to $150 billion.
But watchdogs report only $12.6 billion in verifiable savings.
That represents just 0.173% of the U.S. federal budget for 2025.
We're losing vital government services for basically nothing in return.

It’s a more extensive use of the app than previously reported and sheds new light on how commonly the Trump administration’s national security team relies on Signal.

Republicans and DOGE are attacking public broadcasting, claiming it's "wasteful" and promotes an "agenda."
But spending on public broadcasting is just 0.01% of the federal budget — and funding has bipartisan support.
This is part of Trump's bigger war on an educated public.
