It’s weird* that the president can just decide to put a huge tax on American businesses without congress even being a little bit involved.

In just a few short weeks, Trump is doing to America what he did to the Taj Mahal. He will leave the former like he did the latter: bankrupt and crumbling, without giving a damn about the people whose lives he ruined or the suffering left in his wake.

He Bankrupted His Casino. Now He's Bankrupting Our Country.
Throughout three presidential campaigns, people who’ve voted for Donald Trump have repeatedly said they’ve done so, in part, because he was a “successful businessman.”

Make calls to your Congressional representatives and tell them to stand up for public education and Constitutional law. They must stop the unlawful abuses by Elon Musk and Donald Trump and uphold their oath to represent constituents and uphold the law.

Simply believing that our leaders will do what is right is irresponsible now.
Trusting that everything will work out simply because it always tended work out in the past is a fool's delusion.

Pennsylvania Republicans who narrowly won their House seats feel the heat of early votes back home.
Last night, the Republican majority in the U.S. House of Representatives voted to advance Trump’s inhumane budget plan, which will cut Medicaid by $880 billion. In PA, Medicaid covers ~ 40% of children, and over 60% of nursing home residents. We need people across the PA to hear understand this.

Trump campaigned on lowering prices “on day one.” But guess what — food and energy prices have actually INCREASED. This is raising new concerns about inflation.
If you’re surprised, you haven’t been paying attention. The bottom line: Trump doesn’t care about you.
