Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum responded to Trump’s proposal to change the name of the Gulf of Mexico by pointing to a 17th century map of greater Mexico and suggesting a new name for the US.

“We are going to call it América Mexicana. It sounds pretty, no?”

Trump is a global laughingstock. 🤣

Did you know that the federal minimum wage has not been raised since 2009?

That's 16 years and it's still sitting at $7.25!

Meanwhile the cost of living has only increased and CEO pay has skyrocketed.

Thanks to one disastrous 2010 Supreme Court ruling, wealthy mega-donors, corporations, and special interest groups have been able to influence elections when that power should belong with the American people.

Until a member of Congress goes to jail for theft and/or fraud, these offenses are going to keep happening.

It is time for us to publicly declare—if by no means accept—that both DOJ and the FBI have no problem whatsoever with politicians defrauding their donors or stealing money from voters.

None.

Republicanomics 101:

📌 Reagan tax cuts NEVER paid for themselves.

📌 Bush 1 & 2's tax cuts NEVER paid for themselves.

📌 Trump tax cuts NEVER paid for themselves.

Guess who ALWAYS pays for GOP gifts to the 1%?

Bonus for voters (without trust funds) who answer correctly!

$16 billion was spent in the last election.

Enough to eradicate world hunger. Twice over.

Our elections now feel like auctions. A contest to corral the most billionaires.

Citizens United put us on the fast track to an oligarchy.

For us to find our way back, it has to be undone.
