Let’s set the record straight.
The national debt isn’t caused by everyday people getting the benefits they earned—it’s caused by the ultra-rich dodging taxes while the rest of us foot the bill.
It’s not a budget issue. It’s a priority issue.

100 billionaire families spent $2.6 billion in the 2024 election.
70% of these donations went to Republicans.
Now, Republicans in Congress are gearing up to slash essential programs to pay for another round of tax cuts for the rich.
This is what oligarchy looks like.

Under the Trump budget plan just passed by Congress, a staggering 70% of House Republicans would personally financially benefit from extending major tax loopholes.
More money for them, paid for by cuts to YOUR benefits.

As the saying goes, privatize the profits, and socialize the losses.

Wow who could’ve guessed that this would happen
It’s almost as if USAID was a pillar of American soft power and influence in the world
It’s almost as if it was entirely predictable that America’s adversaries would work to fill the void left by USAID’s destruction

Kristi Noem billed South Dakota taxpayers more than $640,000 in personal travel-related costs, including a six-day trip to Paris, a bear hunt in Canada, a trip to Houston for dental work to fix her smile, and a book tour. But she can afford a $50,000 Rolex for a prison porn photo op in El Salvador.
Kristi Noem refused to say who financed some of her travel. It was taxpayers who were on the hook
An Associated Press analysis of recently released travel records found more than $150,000 in expenses tied to Noem’s political and personal activity.

X is not worth 33 billion. He basically just paid himself $33B from another company, presumably to pay off his debts from the initial buy because he knows he'll never be able to raise the capital from X itself.
