Whether it's tariffs, tax cuts, or deregulation, the benefits are not going to trickle down. They never do.
Most of the financial gains will go to the top, and nothing will trickle down except risks and losses as working people continue struggling to make ends meet. www.reuters.com/world/us/bes...

Bessent says Trump's tariff, tax-cut, deregulation agendas will drive investment to US
U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Monday said President Donald Trump's tariff, tax-cut and deregulation agenda would work together to drive long-term investment to the U.S. economy, adding that U.S. financial markets were "anti-fragile" and would weather any short-term turbulence.

Did you know the “weekend” and working only 8 hours per day used to be considered a radical, liberal idea?
139 years ago today, in Bay View, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, 7 workers (including a 13 yo) lost their lives to advance this revolutionary idea.

Somehow, Trump has declared that we’re under numerous national emergencies from the Southern Border Emergency to the Energy Emergency, Trade Emergency, Public Lands Emergency, and Immigration Enforcement Emergency. Yet these crises seem so “urgent” that he finds time to golf every weekend. Odd.

Trump is trying to stifle free speech.
He's attacking the press.
He's kidnapping U.S. residents and sending them to foreign prisons without due process.
When asked if he would uphold the Constitution, he says "I don't know."
If this isn't dictatorship, I don't know what is.

Trump wants to fire 83k VA workers, many of whom are veterans themselves, decimating the VA & making it harder for veterans to get health care & benefits.
When Americans put their lives on the line to defend our country, we must keep our commitments to them — not betray them.

We’re in this mess in large part bc the average American is uninformed about fundamentals of civics, history, basic biology, economics, etc, and media and the internet are not meeting the moment.
Is anyone organizing teach-ins or similar for the general public, whether irl or online?

Putin can’t believe his luck. Here is Kremlin spokesman Dmitri Peskov on Trump: “The new administration is fast changing all foreign policy configurations…This coincides with our vision in many ways.”
Trump now backs dictatorship, not democracy. We cannot allow that to stand.
