Such a disgrace and embarrassment…so disgusted with anyone that voted for him.
His track record speaks for itself. While we continue to resist, we should take comfort in that he is deeply incompetent, not very bright & his policies are hurting even his most devoted supporters. Let's not get in the way of his inevitable self-destruction.

No further debate—Trump’s DEI policy is clearly racist.

The Pentagon is flagging for removal, historic photos of Black & brown heroes who served, claiming they “promote DEI.”

The military was segregated until 1948. Black people served while facing racism. Where was the DEI? Erasure is the point.

In the past, when presidents tried to trim the number of government employees, the result was not lowering the cost of the government. This is because those jobs were often given to private contractors at higher rates.

So it is no coincidence that a big private contractor is running this DOGE scam.

Just an FYI: Medicaid fraud is rarely perpetrated by beneficiaries. The fraudsters are almost always the doctors and CEO's that administer Medicaid. For example: when a doctor charges the government $600 for an $8 breast pump and pockets the cash and the third party administrator takes a cut.

Many are asking what should we do now?
“We use our power, organize, mobilize, educate…the American story will not be written by who occupies the White House or by the wealthiest among us…it will be written by you, by ‘we the people.’”
