Profits over people and the expectation of infinite growth with the goal of shareholder appeasement isn’t sustainable.

It is outrageous that Trump refuses to release the $5 billion to fund SNAP and feed our children.
The good news is that 11 Republicans are joining all Democrats to demand that we feed American children.
Let’s bring that bill to a vote on the floor immediately.

Inside the Trump family’s global crypto cash machine
The U.S. president’s family raked in more than $800 million from sales of crypto assets in the first half of 2025 alone, a Reuters examination found, on top of potentially billions more in unrealized “on paper” gains. Much of that cash came from foreign sources as Donald Trump's sons touted their business on an international investor roadshow.
