The wealth of the 10 richest Americans surged $698B in the past year.
Trump’s tax handouts to billionaires and cuts to health care will only make inequality worse.
We need an economy that works for everyone – not one that works for the 1% and hangs everyone else out to dry.

Elon Musk claims DOGE has saved $55 billion, but the numbers don’t add up. DOGE released a list of canceled contracts totaling $16 billion in supposed savings. However, nearly half of that came from an $8 billion ICE contract—except that contract was actually worth just $8 million.

Dismantling #USAID with no plan for what will replace it is nothing more than a callous, destructive political power play that will have deadly consequences for millions of people living through dire humanitarian emergencies. It is cruel & directly at odds with U.S. interests.

Senator Andy Kim just went to the USAID building, talked to the security guard there to confirm employees are being barred entry, and then did a press gaggle right there in front to call it out.

Why does Musk want USAID 'to die'? And why did its website disappear?
