Tyson Foods over the last few months:

• Approved 43 MILLION shares in stock buybacks
• Spent $196 million buying back its own stock to juice up the price
• Announced closure of Lexington plant: 3,200 workers in a town of 11,000 people

Then what happened?

In 2016, data showed lawmakers on key committees were getting sweetheart loans.

Now, lawmakers who ascend to leadership see a 47 point gain in stock returns.

And Trump is using pardons to end corruption prosecutions.

The master plan has created a national emergency.

In high school, I received a failing grade on a math test because I used Jane Austen's "Pride and Prejudice" instead of a trigonometry table to solve the equations. It was, clearly, a violation of my right to free speech.

Trump has reportedly drafted an executive order banning states from regulating AI.

Meanwhile, the AI industry has amassed over $100M for next year's midterms to defeat proponents of federal regulation.

We must stop this Big Tech takeover before it's too late.

Reminder about Jan 6:

it really happened
It was a horror
140+ police were injured
A range of violent weapons were used by attackers
Chants to hang Mike Pence were heard
There was a gallows and guns
Pipe bombs diverted police as mob approached

It wasn’t enough for President Trump to shut down the U.S. Institute for Peace and fire its experienced staff. Now, he’s naming it after himself—the building is as empty as his promises.

Americans are already stretched thin. The Trump Administration’s energy rollbacks will make it even harder for hardworking families to make ends meet.

Higher fuel costs mean more strain on household budgets, and working people will feel it first.

These 2,900 individual billionaires could lose 75% of their wealth and still be richer than 4 billion people.

Inequality is eating the whole world alive.
There are now 2,900 billionaires, and they hold $15.8 trillion.

The wealth of the bottom 50% of the global population, over 4 billion people, is estimated at $3.7 trillion.

Tyson is closing a Nebraska plant that employs 3200 workers to “right-size” its business.

The company is one of four giants that control 80% of meat processing.

This corporate monopoly is great for Tyson’s executives and a raw deal for everyone else. Watch:

Why have so many corporations donated to Trump’s White House ballroom project?

Could it be because many of them have lucrative government contracts?

Or because they have mergers and other regulatory business before Trump?

I’m sure they just thought a ballroom sounded nice…

Donald Trump—if you are truly pro-IVF, then defend it for our heroes.

Tell your Speaker of the House to fall in line and stop single-handedly trying to kill a provision that would cover IVF for military families.

Enough promises. Let’s deliver.
