What is it called when an erratic billionaire, whom nobody elected, rampages through the federal government, purging civil servants, seizing functional control over trillions of dollars, and attempting to destroy entire agencies—all in violation of the law?

House GOP members are figuring out which of Trump's promised tax cuts to propose into law and how to pay for them. Among their targets: slashing benefits for single mothers and the poor who rely on government health care.

If you have a smidge of power and you catch yourself thinking:
Maybe we'll be safe if we:
- tone this justice program a bit
- take that 'decolonization' reference off the website
- nix that grant for decarbonization...
know that you are playing your part in Trump's game perfectly.

Trump tried to cut off funding for critical programs like Medicaid, SNAP, cancer research and more.
People in my district and across the country spoke out in horror.
And now, he's backing down.
When we fight and center the people, we can win.

Trump and his billionaire friends thought they could cause pain to millions of working people and we’d take it lying down.
They learned the hard way that if they come after our Medicaid, child care, and SNAP benefits...there will be a price to pay.

Telling folks to just "plug in to community" rn is well-meaning and if you can do that, wonderful. But most people are not super connected to community for many reasons. So, if you don't have community rn that's ok, consider finding 2-5 ppl you can form a pod with.
