The wannabe dictator wants a party? Well then, let's show him some "love”. On June 14th, Trump is spending millions of taxpayer $$$ to throw himself a military parade for his birthday. That's why we're peacefully protesting across the nation on the 14th. In America, we have no kings. #50501Movement

The top 7 donors in the 2024 election — all GOP — gave a combined $1B to buy Trump a second term.
It's a gigantic amount of money in total — but it's just pocket change to them.

No one from either party should be able to buy an election.

DOGE having access to Americans' Social Security data isn't just a major security breach.
It's part of a deliberate ploy to cut benefits — using the false pretext of "waste and fraud" — and have Congress use the savings to give billionaires another giant tax cut.
