During the shutdown, Trump could find $40 billion to bail out Argentina & $300 million for a ballroom to host dinner parties with billionaires, but he won’t tap emergency funds to prevent millions of American kids from going hungry?
How cruel is that?

At a time when we should be guaranteeing health care to all Americans as a human right, President Trump and his Republican colleagues are threatening to make our broken system even worse by doubling premiums for more than 20 million Americans.

-Paid family leave

At a time of massive inequality, Trump's budget is breathtaking in its degree of cruelty.
It slashes funding for health care, housing & education that the working class desperately needs in order to pay for more tax breaks for billionaires & the Pentagon.
That is morally obscene.

Reminder: Tariffs aren't paid by other countries.
They're eventually paid by us at the check out line.
And they're regressive — taking a higher percentage out of the paychecks of working people than out of the wealthy.

Do you know why Americans are angry?
Over the last 50 years, real weekly wages have been stagnant.
At the same time, there was a $79 trillion transfer of wealth from the bottom 90% to the to the top 1%.
We need an economy that works for all, not just billionaires.

The goal of sharing ideas isn't for everyone to agree with you. It’s for some people to learn from you—and for you to learn from them.
It’s better to risk social disapproval than to sacrifice self-respect.

Dear Dems. This is a reminder that Donald Trump rescinded the ethics rules preventing gifts to executive branch employees.
Now would be a good time to propose legislation formalizing the prevention into a law
Time to do things that make him react to you.
