At one of his frequent press conferences (because he loves being on TV), I'd love it if some reporter piped up with, "What do you say to people who call you a know-nothing narcissistic asshole, Mr. President?"

The Trump-Musk Regime is reportedly planning to cut as much as 50% of the IRS workforce.
Make no mistake: this will starve the government of revenue by making it easier for the rich to evade taxes — which the top 1% already do to the tune of $163 billion a year.

The central tactic of authoritarianism is to try to convince you that you have no power and that you should just live in despair.
You do have power.
You do have agency.
You can make a difference.
You don’t have to do it all by yourself.
Banding together is the way forward.

If Trump and the GOP extend their 2017 tax cuts, the top 1% will make out like bandits — taking home an extra $165 per day.
But the bottom 60% will get shafted — getting only an extra $1.10 per day in exchange for massive cuts to Medicaid and SNAP.
It's reverse Robin Hood.
