Trump's "strategic cryptocurrency reserve" is a blatant giveaway to wealthy crypto donors, who spent millions to buy friendly regulators in the 2024 election.
Crypto Bought the 2024 Election
The 2024 election's biggest winner wasn't Trump or Vance. It was the cryptocurrency industry, which spent $134 million to buy itself a subservient Congress.

Millionaires are officially done paying into Social Security for the rest of 2025 as of today. 

If we want to ensure Social Security’s long term future, we must scrap the cap and make the wealthy pay their fair share.
How the Super Rich Are Killing Social Security | Robert Reich
Social Security taxes are rigged for the rich — and the program is in danger because of it. A CEO earning $20M/yr pays Social Security taxes on ~1% of their income. Meanwhile, a normal worker pays Social Security taxes on 100% of their income. How does that make any sense?

Half of Americans have less than $500 in savings, according to recent estimates.

Meanwhile, the combined wealth of the three richest men in the world is roughly $740B.

Our problem isn’t an issue of resources. 

Our problem is ever-expanding wealth inequality.

DOGE is a trojan horse to gut labor, consumer, and environmental protections.

If DOGE actually wanted to cut waste, it would end the massive tax loopholes, contracts, and subsidies that benefit the wealthy and large corporations.

Last year, the CFPB classified "buy-now-pay-later" apps in the same category as credit cards to better protect consumers.

Is it any wonder that Big Tech billionaires pushed so hard to gut the CFPB?

More Silicon Valley "innovation."

there are a couple of interesting things about this, one is that there's no war going on, what in the hell is this even supposed to be *for*, and, two, the white house clearly isn't giving them a single damned thing to work with, from a pitch standpoint
Harris Faulkner on how Trump should talk to "401k people" worried about tariffs hurting them: "Look, when this nation used to go to war, people in this country would support the war effort with their materials at home and making things for weaponry. We have to do 100% buy in over this bumpy period"

The oligarchs, who bought the GOP, most of the news outlets and media, created a propaganda empire, while off-shoring union jobs. The DNC looked the other way and got rich along with them & Wall St. Blue collar America got pissed and voted for a huckster.
