For Trump, a military conflict with Iran would distract from:
-Sinking poll numbers
-A devastating (and unpopular) budget bill
-Harmful trade wars
-Unleashing the military on American soil
-Millions of people protesting his authoritarianism
We must remain on high alert.

I am disappointed that today I’m paying taxes to fund government efforts to stop preventing disease and starvation overseas rather than paying taxes to support government efforts to prevent disease and starvation overseas.

The top 1% evade $163 billion in taxes per year — enough to end homelessness, hunger, and pay for universal childcare.

Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022.
That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations.
So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?

Yes a shutdown would have consequences.
And a Republican President, Republican House, and Republican Senate would be responsible.
They have acted in a unilateral and unprecedented way.
Democrats cannot cave. They must fight back.

Millionaires stop paying into Social Security today.
That’s because they've now made $176,100, and hit the contributions cap.
Billionaires made that much about an hour into the year.
Elon Musk did in just 15 minutes.
Tax the rich. Scrap the cap.

Trump’s Ukraine policy reads like Putin’s dream for a Russian asset:
✔️Spread propaganda that Ukraine started the war
✔️Cut off military aid
✔️Block intel sharing
✔️Demean Zelenskyy in the Oval Office
✔️Weaken US alliances with Europe
Who benefits? Putin. Who loses? Us.

Remember: Trump has no mandate. His agenda is cruel, corrupt, chaotic, and deeply unpopular. And the longer it goes on, the harder it is to sustain in the face of real opposition. That’s our job now — to keep building that opposition.
