Trump is dining with top Wall Street executives at the White House tonight — just months after giving them a huge tax cut in his Big Ugly Bill.
Meanwhile, his regime is continuing to withhold SNAP benefits for millions of hungry Americans.

Labor has always been on the frontlines in the fight against fascism – and today is no different.
Unions are fighting Trump’s cruel agenda in the courts and in the streets, and workers across industries are standing up for each other.
There’s courage – and hope – in solidarity.

Every time I think there's a line for too cruel, too lawless, too corrupt, too obvious, too stupid or too petty, they blow right through it.
