Trump & his billionaires don't care about throwing 15 million people off their healthcare, and millions more finding their health care premiums double--just to give a trillion dollars in tax breaks to the wealthiest 1%. #Vote on Tuesday for fair elections & working families. #TaxTheRich

Trump sent $40 billion to Argentina while Americans lose healthcare, SNAP, + other essentials. He demolished the White House’s East Wing to build a gaudy golden ballroom. Next plan: a Triumphal Arch dedicated to himself. #Trump couldn’t care less about rising energy & food prices. #NoKings #resist

Trump's a chronic liar, promising his golden gaudy ballroom wouldn't "touch" the East Wing of the White House. Then came the wrecking ball to history to host his dancing with the czars. He's an authoritarian tyrant ignoring working people who struggle with rising costs. "Let them eat cake!" in 2025.

Trump has already forced 275,000 federal employees out. He's imposed illegal tariffs, impounded funds, deployed the military violating the Posse Comitatus Act, ordered DOJ to indict his personal enemies, & engaged in extreme corruption, enriching himself & billionaires, at taxpayer cost. #resist

Robert Redford, Screen Idol & Activist, Dies at 89. I had the honor of interviewing him in the ‘90s for my investigation of the 1872 Mining Law & its devastating environmental impacts. #Redford cared deeply about our beleaguered planet. RIP. #climate www.nytimes.com/2025/09/16/m...

Such hypocrisy for #Trump to grant clemency to nearly 1,600 people involved in the Jan. 6 riot. Then throw an authoritarian military power playbook at DC residents to terrorize & intimidate them despite a 30% drop in crime. Whose City is next for military takeover?

Inflation RISING.📈 Working Americans pay for #Trump's erratic, abusive tariffs. Corp America passes tariffs onto consumers & the chasm betw super rich & the rest of us grows under this authoritarian regime. Meanwhile the grifter eradicates healthcare while adding more gold leaf to the White House.

USA's gross misbehavior: At the international Convention on Wetlands to save Earth’s fastest-disappearing ecosystem, our U.S. "delegation" had only one representative who came to demand that conference documents include NO mention of #climate change, DEI, gender, the U.N.’s SDGs, or “zero growth.”

FOREWARNED by a shocked consumer: "Just ordered some kitchenware from England: cost $267. A week after delivery, FedEx sends a bill for the tariff due: $131. Turns out, the items originated in China. Tariffs are here, and collections have begun." #Trump #Tariffs are a tax on consumers. #TaxTheRich

Tears are rolling down my cheeks. Reporting for Bill Moyers on PBS was the best journalism experience of my 30+ years. He was an authentic voice for shedding light on America’s problems and hopes. Bill was 91. We’ve lost a brilliant maverick in public tv. #BillMoyers #publictv #PBS

MAGA Republicans are racing to pass Trump's big, ugly, cruel bill to give huge tax breaks to the richest among us by making the poorest Americans pay for it. Steal from Medicaid, SNAPS, healthcare for millions & saddle our kids with an extra $3.1 TRILLION to the deficit. #resist #TaxTheRich #protest
