Somali Americans and immigrants across this country deserve respect, safety, and dignity — not hateful attacks from a president who uses division to distract us from his failures.

Israel has killed 249 journalists in the last 2 years.
That's more than were killed in WWII & the Vietnam War put together.
A Vermonter, Dylan Collins, was wounded in one of these attacks, which killed another reporter. This war against journalists must be investigated & ended.

One in four VA workers is a veteran. Trump just ripped up their contracts—and the contracts of 300,000+ civilian employees. It directly harms workers, and will hurt service for millions of vets. So much for respecting the troops. nurse.org/news/va-term...

The rich don’t spend the money they have, and the poor don’t have money to spend.
This is a problem when 70% of the economy relies on consumer spending.

So the richest man in the world spent $130 million to elect Donald Trump.
Now he's being put in charge of a "government efficiency" agency while controlling corporations with billions in government contracts that are also under federal investigations.
See how this works?
