Tonight, we forced Republicans to take a simple vote:
Can we all agree that billionaire corporations like Amazon and Tesla - who take home over $1 billion in sheer profit a year - shouldn't get another tax handout?
Republicans said no.

"Last year, the Social Security Inspector General issued a report showing Social Security has a criminal fraud rate of 0.009%.
As a percentage, that's much lower than the 1.4 billion in assets that reportedly went missing on the Tesla balance sheet just last week." - @wyden.senate.gov

Social Security is the most successful economic security program in history. It hasn’t missed a payment in 86 years. If Trump Vance shut it down, it will be the biggest betrayal or working class Americans since Hoover Mellon
Trump-appointed acting commissioner Leland Dudek refusing to comply with a court order to stop Elon Musk’s DOGE from continuing to access sensitive Social Security data.
Instead, Dudek is threatening to shut down our Social Security system so that 70 million Americans won't get their benefits.

Trump: Gutting National Parks—And Hiding the Evidence
National parks hit 331M visits, but Trump officials don’t want you to know. A leaked memo bans the Park Service from promoting the numbers—while firing rangers, closing visitor centers, and cutting safety.
This won’t go well—we love our parks.

Republicans are working hard to pretend Trump inherited a bad economy.
He was handed an economy that analysts thought had no chance of recession and was expected to grow by 2.5%
We will need lots of visuals like this. They are destroying a good economy
