So what do we do? Protest in lieu of bbq and firecrackers?

Can you guys start asking republicans questions like…
What did your father do to you as a child to make you feel the need to feel powerful?
Who wounded your heart so badly that you are now cruel?
The approach of making them feel small isn’t working.

You want to talk about fraud, waste, and abuse? Well, here you have it.
The American public didn't vote for Donald Trump so he could hand over billions in taxpayer dollars to his biggest donor.
This is corruption of the highest order.

Under the Trump administration, the U.S. agency that funds aid projects has faced layoffs, a stop action order for most aid efforts and a disruption of its website. Now Elon Musk says it should 'die.'
Why does Musk want USAID 'to die'? And why did its website disappear?

Want to know what a federal funding freeze does? It takes money from families that just lost their home in a wildfire. It takes resources away from vets. It leaves 72M Americans without access to healthcare. Trump, Elon, & their billionaire buddies laugh their way to the bank while Americans suffer.
