Since Monday, Trump has: Halted civil rights investigations, suspended public health advisories, frozen infrastructure spending, rescinded an executive order prohibiting discrimination by federal contractors and another one aimed at lowering drug prices.

How does this help working people?

5 years of Netflix US profit: $15.1 Billion

5 years of Netflix exec pay: $652M

5 years of taxes paid by Netflix: $236M

In a 5-year span after Trump's tax cuts, Netflix paid top execs 3x what it paid in federal income tax.

Yesterday, Netflix announced it was raising prices again.

Opinion | Trump’s proposal to end birthright citizenship is unconstitutional

Btw, imagine if Biden had attacked a conservative Christian figure in that personal and vicious way. It'd be front page news and on a loop on Fox and his own party would criticize him for it.

But it's Trump, so hey, all good. All normal. Move along, nothing to see here.

The US president just attacked a female bishop for saying Christian things in a Christian sermon, calling her a "so-called bishop", not "smart", and "not very good at her job."

And no one will blink an eye. It won't be a controversy or a big story. All normalized.

Welcome to the next 4 years.

Donald Trump, whose inauguration ball Zuckerberg was attending and helped pay for, threatened to put Zuckerberg in prison and verbally abused him.

But, apparently, Zuckerberg feels more insulted by Joe Biden making a generic criticism of oligarchs and oligarchy.

Ok. Got it.
On Fox & Friends, Brian Kilmeade said he ran into Mark Zuckerberg last night. "He did tell me how insulting it was to be called an oligarch by President Biden," Kilmeade said.

Zuckerberg is the world's third richest man, with a net worth of $211 billion.

If that's not an oligarch...

“Most networks almost entirely avoided using terms like ‘twice-impeached’ or ‘convicted felon’ when discussing Trump. In fact, no one on CNN (which found time to interview an outside expert about Melania Trump’s outfit choice) used either of those terms a single time.”

Don't forget that just hours before he took office, Trump became a crypto billionaire by shilling a worthless meme coin.

And of course he didn't divest from any of his other businesses.

Is it any wonder that ethics are out the window in the second Trump administration?
Trump has repealed a Biden executive order mandating ethical behavior from administration employees.

The order told federal workers to:
-Not accept gifts from lobbyists
-Not take other bribes
-Not lobby for two years after government work
-And more

Now those rules are gone.

Respectfully (and I genuinely mean this), I’ve never heard a single regular person ask for “bipartisanship.” That’s inside nonsense.

They want things to work.

If the other party refuses to work for people, be the ones who will. Fight for people. Make it plain who isn’t, and who THEY’RE for.
It is time to look to the future.

The challenges that face America are many and great.

The Senate must respond with resolve, bipartisanship, and fidelity to the working and middle class of this country.

Anyone who ever again suggests that the GOP is the party of the police or the party of law and order should be laughed out of the room. There has never been anything like this before in modern US history: the president pardoning people who we all saw on live TV assaulting police.
