The GOP passed a budget resolution last night that will gut Medicaid, SNAP, and other vital programs — as 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck.
Why? To finance tax cuts for the top 1%.
We have socialism in this country for the rich, harsh capitalism for everyone else.

How many federal workers would DOGE need to fire to make up for Musk not paying his fair share of taxes?
Answer: 677,000. That's 44% of the entire non-DoD federal workforce.
Again, this power grab is not about the budget. It’s about politics.

When Trump took office, the NLRB had 24 separate investigations into Musk’s corporations for violating workers’ rights.
But presto...Trump fired three officials at that agency, effectively stalling the board's ability to rule on cases.
See how this works?

I think an American flag created entirely by black men at the Superbowl is one of the best pieces of art I've seen in my lifetime. I hope it actually killed some folks. And I hope it finally closes the fucking book on the argument that we shouldn't use the flag to fight the God damned fascists.

Notably, many of the targets are Black employees working at health agencies. This disturbing attempt to intimidate and undermine public servants comes from AAF, a small right-wing nonprofit founded in 2020. Enough is enough.

MAGA Republicans have been waging a war on public school teachers for years.
They want public schools to fail so they can pour the money into private, for-profit schools.

We are living in crazy land.
As Trump tries to dismantle the Department of Education, remember that his plan to cut the corporate tax rate to 15% would give the 100 largest corporations a tax cut larger than the entire department's K-12 budget.
Really think about how twisted this all is.
