Firing over 100 immigration judges.
Arresting immigrants outside of their immigration hearings.
Pausing asylum decisions.
And now? Cancelling citizenship ceremonies, the final step to becoming a U.S. citizen.
Just remember that Trump never cared about "legal immigration."

This East Wing demolition isn’t being done unilaterally at the whim of the child rapist in the Oval.
It is with the blessing of the bootlicking 119th US Congress.

CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%.
Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

FEMA will send $608 million to states to construct temporary immigrant detention centers, like Florida’s notorious “Alligator Alcatraz.”
Meanwhile, Trump is preparing to cut $1 billion in grants that help communities prep for disaster response.
Cruelty is always the priority.

For Trump, a military conflict with Iran would distract from:
-Sinking poll numbers
-A devastating (and unpopular) budget bill
-Harmful trade wars
-Unleashing the military on American soil
-Millions of people protesting his authoritarianism

The craziest thing about this fight between Trump and Elon Musk is that Republicans are trying to take away health care from 16 million people to pay for tax cuts for billionaires.

Bank overdraft fees were capped at $5 the last few years -- saving American families over $6 BILLION.
Until now.
Because Republicans are lifting the Biden-era cap, letting banks charge whatever they want again.
Taking $6 BILLION of your money and giving it to the big banks.

The White House reportedly wants to recruit corporate sponsors for its annual Easter Egg Roll.
The financial backers could spend as much as $200,000 on a "sponsorship" and gain exclusive access to the Oval Office.
Is there anything that's not for sale under Trump?

You know what the real scam of Social Security is?
If you make above $168,800/year, the government STOPS taxing you on every dollar above that.
Billionaires like Musk and Trump NEVER pay their fair share — and now they want to take OUR money away!!?!
